Khador Patrol Painted for IKRPG

Recently I have been concentrating in painting projects for the challenges on the Warmachine and Hordes painting group. Its been really fun to take part in them. (you can find the group here)

This month I've been painting a Minions battle group of Barnabas1 a Swamp Horror and an Ironback Spitter. I finished the actual painting a few days ago and have been just adding a thin layer of water effects to their bases each day. (They will be posted up as soon as the water effects clear up...)

With the challenge project basically finished and next months prepped and ready for May (I will be painting a Dracodile) I figured the best thing to do with my time is finishing up old projects which have been sat unfinished for a long time. 

This group of Khador models I picked up very cheaply a long time ago with the plan of using them to represent a Khador patrol for Iron Kingdoms RPG encounters. Roughly two years ago I painted them up but stopped either distracted by another project or I just lost interest. They have been sat on the wip shelf on my hobby desk for the last two years until now! 

This group of Winter Guard are not my "best work" but they are painted to my satisfaction for them being RPG grunt models for a party to either fight or fight alongside.

One of the eight Winter Guard I converted to represent a Jack Marshal. It is a simple conversion of adding a backpack from an old Rhulic model and putting the prybar from a Khador MoW mechanik into the bed roll. Finally putting him on a base which includes loads of mechanikal parts finishes up setting him apart from the other Winter Guard

This Mortar was missing the grunt which would normally tag along in the Wargame. This makes it basically unusable for Warmachine, but for me he works perfectly in the RPG!

The Manhunter solo was an interesting challenge to paint rough and weathered skin of a outdoorsman. Lots of leathers and fur finish off the model nicely I think.

This lone Widowmaker is missing the rest of his unit. Like the Mortar this makes him useless for a Wargame player but perfect for me!

A Destroyer is a bit of a tough thing for a party to come up against but it also adds a nice level of threat to a party and also a great way to deal with those high defence encounters with its explosive ranged attack.

The Juggernaut is a classic Warjack and it painted up easy enough. I didn't try to reinvent the wheel when painting these two Warjacks, just getting them "done" was the main goal.

I'm really glad to have these all finished, they have been sat on my desk for so long I had completely lost interest in finishing them!

They were also a good choice for me to try the snow effect texture paint which a friend of mine gifted to me.

Big thanks to him, I have plans for an interesting diorama which I plan on using it for! More on that another time....

And finally I thought I would try something new! 
Using money from my generous supporters over at Patreon I purchased a rotating display stand. I like to put the money from supporters back into improving the content I make.
I'm hoping to get better at making these over time, one thing I know I want to save for is a better camera (I currently use my phone).
Please let me know what you think of this addition to my painted model articles.
If you like it please like, comment and subscribe on Youtube it really does help with letting youtube know its a video worth suggesting to other hobbyists. (And it upsets Mike...)
