I
have taken bit of a break from painting miniatures, focuses instead on sketching
illustrations for my RPG books and hobby websites. However, painting miniatures is an important
part of my ‘RPG hobby’ and I am planning to return to this hobby soon. Instead of dusting off my old paints and
finding miniatures to paint (I have way too many unpainted miniatures around my
home), I decided to first start off by photographing some of the miniatures I
have painted in the past.
The
Tallaran Desert Raiders were released in 1994, when Games Workshop redesigned
the Imperial Guard (Astra Militarum), by releasing world specific Imperial
Guard Regiments. Up until the summer of
2018, Games Workshop had several of their classic Imperial Guard metal ranges
available on their website. I purchased most
of the Tallaran miniatures shown here back in 2018 when they were still
available on the GW site (I purchased the heavy bolter team from a hobby store’s
discount bin several years ago).

Workshop released a new iteration of their classics skirmish game Necromunda in
late 2017, with a box set featuring the all-female Escher Gang and the House
Goliath Gang. I purchased this set a
short time after the initial release and set out to paint these miniatures with
a distinct colour scheme that paid homage to the look and flavour of miniatures
from the box set. For instance, the box set
Goliath were painted with orange armour; a colour the invokes the emotions of caution
and danger. I painted my Goliath with
a yellow colour scheme, which, I felt, will invokes a similar emotional reaction.
