Wet Paint: various items

It's been a while since I've done a wet paint post, probably because it's been a while since I actually painted some stuff. The last few weeks have been productive though, so here's some of the latest output off the painting table.
 

Fungal Giant - 3D printed figure


This figure has been 3D printed on my resin printer and was painted using Army Painter's Speed Paint. This was the first figure I painted with these paints (though not with this technique) and you can tell I was still feeling my way around the color selection. 
 
This and the next figure will become part of a fantasy army that is intended to go up against my dwarves.
 

Infected bear - 3D printed figure

Much like the giant above, this figure is 3D printed and painted with Army Painter speed paints. I got a much better feeling for colors with this one, insofar that I felt confident enough to try the speed paints on a historical unit, featured next.
 

Celt infantry: Eppegentii - Foundry, Renegade and Old Glory figures


 

 As mentioned, these were painted with the speed paints (with just a very few minor additions of regular paint). When painting them, I was not really happy with the result. Yet, as always, they turn out very well when put together in a unit. They are the seventh warband of my Celtic army, recently used with To the Strongest! rules. The best thing about this 20-man unit that it took literally less than 4 hours to paint - speed paints indeed.
 

GNW Björneborgs regiment, one company - Warfare miniatures


These are the first miniatures from Warfare / League of Augsburg miniatures I painted. While the figures are anatomically correct I do find the more exaggerated almost comical style of many other miniatures easier to paint (my other GNW Swedes are from Musketeer Miniatures). That said, these are lovely figures and I intend to build a few extra regiments with them. This company sneaked into the painting line because I need a single extra stand for an upcoming game.
 
These figures and the ones below were painted in my classic fashion, layering Vallejo Model Colour over black undercoat. 

Dwarven infantry - Mantic Games miniatures

This is the next unit for my growing dwarven army. The army is now up to one unit of crossbowmen, one artillery unit, two infantry units (including this one) and the chappie below.
 

Dwarven King - Scibor Miniatures

This figure will be the leader of my dwarven army. He's been painted with a few more layers than usual (well, mostly 3 layers instead of 2), noblesse oblige and all that.
Ah yes - the duck. Those of you familiar with my armies will know that most of my generals feature some form of duck as a banner or companion, and this one is no exception.
