Citadel - Giant Spider from 1991 red catalogue

Citadel Giant Spider

Ok, this was a real challenge. I've received this guy with all the legs broken in more parts. 

The original model is very static, so I would have a more dynamic pose.

If you have this model, you'll know: it's a real pain in the a**e to modify. 

At least I've painted it inspired by the mexican orange knee tarantula (Brachypelma smithi). I gave it a pose as if it were walking, adding a piece of branch as a broken tree in the base. 

This model will be a fantastic gigantic spider for a mordheim goblin warband, but I'll utilize it in my lizardmen southland army (counting as jungle swarm). It could be also a fantastic dungeon monster. 

I hope to be able to do better pictures in the newt days.

Ciao!

Citadel - Aenur, the Sword of Twilight

*****

Ecco uno dei miei lavori più vecchi: Aenur, the Sword of Twilight, un personaggio speciale per Mordheim. 

Ho scelto di dipingerlo con una palette di colori abbastanza sobria, per farlo intonare col disegno che intendevo dipingere sul mantello: la Monnalisa, in omaggio a tante vecchie illustrazioni (come ad esempio quelle di John Blanche). Era uno dei mie primi lavori di freehand, e si vede... Comunque sia resta una splendida miniatura e ricordo che fu  un piacere dipingerla, tanti anni fa.
