"Classic Warzone!" Topic

Last time I went to visit the great sho3box he treated me to a day out at Prince August – Ireland's finest toy soldier factory. It was the greatest day ever.

There at the factory of dreams I feasted upon the piles of vintage Warzone blisters with great plans to rebuild the exact same Imperial Mega Corporation Army of my nerdy teenage years – starting with a squad of Wolfbane Commandos.

Wolfbane Commandoes suffered from the classic 1990s problem of feet spilling over the 25mm base edge, so Wolfbane #1 I painted (above left) got a 32mm base. But the more I looked at it, the more I feared I'd betrayed the Spirit of the 1990s, so Wolfbane #2 got a classic 25mm base with dark green drybrushed sand, with which I was much happier, and so I did the whole squad this way.

The colour scheme is a pretty straight copy of the original studio colour scheme, as I wanted to relive those days when "giant yellow shoulder pads" and "commando" could be unironically synonomous.

I really enjoyed painting these old metal nuggets, and hope to build the army up with some Imperial Blood Berets next.

Nice paint jobs!

Got lots of Warzone stuff painted, loved the figures!

Awesome!

Very cool! I always like the Imperial

These look great!! I love Warzone minis

I only came for the chuckles but all i see is boxes…

Cool, I've been sculpting some Warzone style stuff just lately. I even made a mould and am casting some up in resin. Sadly the temperature's a bit cool and the resin's not setting up great. Casting's a bit like my great white whale.

Hellllllll yeah! Looking good! Warzone 1st edition is a great fun game!
I still have lots to finish. Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Ninja, those look great!
Its been years and Im still 'erked' I missed getting the Plastic miniatures. Burns when 'life' gets in the way.

A terrific game, lots of fond memories with it. Your painting looks great.

Those pictures gave me a jumpstart to youthful enthusiasm.

Then all my ailments kicked in. But for a few fleeting seconds, it was all ok. Thanks for posting!
