So long, in fact that I'm surprised this still exists.
So, what brings me back?
I decided I'd like to showcase my work a little more and focus on a hobby that I still enjoy and still find I have things to learn.
I'm going to set myself a goal of at least one post a month with a stretch of two or three. The posts will focus on painting I've done but may also include boardgames I've played as I've moved away from wargames, in general, no longer have the need or inclination to paint armies also have a permanent set up for painting, something I've never had and feel lucky I've managed it. In fact, here's a picture of my office/come man cave

And, now to the work I've been doing. I'm not going to go over the various miniatures, scenery, terrain, etc I've done over the last six or so years, that I've been away. Rather I'm going to start afresh and start with the figures I'm working on at present.
As I said, I've moved away from wargames, in general, though I still have one passion that I remain involved in, which I'll reveal in a later post. What I have been doing are boardgame pieces and fantasy figures, designed, in general, for Dungeons and Dragons, though I don't play very often. I do, however, like the figures and still pick up and paint what takes my liking. About six months ago that was dwarf adventurers by Midlam Miniatures.
Here's an image of the then kickstarter they ran:

These turned up a little before Christmas and I put aside other figures to pick these up straight away. I've started painting these and here's where I am so far. Only images of the ones I'm currently working on:

And finally - Male Dwarf Cleric - Father Grimm.
This last one is a work in progress. Well, they all are, at present. The basing needs to be finished but I'll need to order some new grass tufts, which is my basing of choice at present.
And that's it for the first post of the year. Let's see if I can manage to keep this going thoughout the year.

I seem to be in the enviable position of not having to paint anything specific. So I've been flitting from one type of model to another.<br />
<br />
This has helped with keeping my interest and seem to have made me more productive.<br />
<br />

<br />
These, I've enjoyed doing and are the closest thing I've come to painting something needed for a game. I'll cover more on Frostgrave and its campaign system in a later post.<br />
<br />
<br />
So once I'd finished those I fancied painting some dwarves:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir0KgJIQcYbxNYCMhnYRpo6T3pnoPlq47_Vbxie7Tv6lR-msXWdCcuLfZ9sauN5t7N1xQ8D6LKT580Hc55dwC5JYZztpKYCZKWJ4lHptgHIXegdxD33NI6KnRZgm1qpkwqt6nnh0E8WdY/s1600/DSCF3082.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir0KgJIQcYbxNYCMhnYRpo6T3pnoPlq47_Vbxie7Tv6lR-msXWdCcuLfZ9sauN5t7N1xQ8D6LKT580Hc55dwC5JYZztpKYCZKWJ4lHptgHIXegdxD33NI6KnRZgm1qpkwqt6nnh0E8WdY/s320/DSCF3082.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsV5CLxhqw7Nv5ijH0hJCxBWq77S1mLjT3jQ8seuH1BoV88rp3URyhnQeHicWOzXCOurqlttAQ6Q-n5_QAlgbs7bEWYOZGuUPJLRv4nrwhze-1Cf8E9uvuWDhBqYJ0TH_5ejZaNpPzPTk/s1600/DSCF3083.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsV5CLxhqw7Nv5ijH0hJCxBWq77S1mLjT3jQ8seuH1BoV88rp3URyhnQeHicWOzXCOurqlttAQ6Q-n5_QAlgbs7bEWYOZGuUPJLRv4nrwhze-1Cf8E9uvuWDhBqYJ0TH_5ejZaNpPzPTk/s320/DSCF3083.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
Here we have a dwarf hero with the book of grudges, though I may use him as a cleric. Its an old GW model, though I'm not sure which one. I'm please with how this one turned out.<br />
<br />
The unit was a purchase I made in France in a book shop in a medieval town. The things you find. These date back to the 90s and are very reminicent of Citadel sculpts. I'm not certain about the axes and may redo them at some point in the future. Again, not done for any particular game. Just fancied doing some dwarves.<br />
<br />
<br />
So from there I went onto rebasing and finishing this troll: <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7LIMuLspZK3KgWaO8PR9GGYu-jzEPuziQ1OpLFrDl1vyV61omNY4_yp2nqb7esfsCV5iQXZXC4U-w6vKqgFAwsK4YpGtt-2dGDkAJT2OgRr7EHEhDRFQjx-gE8OmH3Lx6c8nJ4byACY8/s1600/DSCF3081.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7LIMuLspZK3KgWaO8PR9GGYu-jzEPuziQ1OpLFrDl1vyV61omNY4_yp2nqb7esfsCV5iQXZXC4U-w6vKqgFAwsK4YpGtt-2dGDkAJT2OgRr7EHEhDRFQjx-gE8OmH3Lx6c8nJ4byACY8/s320/DSCF3081.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
This one has been sat in a cabinet, half finished for about 2 years. Now its finished it has been added to the evergrowing Otherworld Skrimish collection.<br />
<br />
As have these:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfpa38QNMTDa4FVJAsc0k6W8Ruop1rAPfhxxS772zn43BsuNXmO10fK1I6lGNz_vbXxePvkLIXtVmRpW6yH8puOoHwxXpYZXuoM3poay97ZuRfyjAVn9C1Q8ROJUnVDVOSqqQM9ovNJWY/s1600/DSCF3079.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfpa38QNMTDa4FVJAsc0k6W8Ruop1rAPfhxxS772zn43BsuNXmO10fK1I6lGNz_vbXxePvkLIXtVmRpW6yH8puOoHwxXpYZXuoM3poay97ZuRfyjAVn9C1Q8ROJUnVDVOSqqQM9ovNJWY/s320/DSCF3079.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
4 giant centipedes from Otherworld miniatures.<br />
<br />
And then I received these and had to do them all:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjualiac2U9VJ_36wJFLq9WUhnMoPdmSjFlyrljC9JsorlJyOcgU0MVHfPQMT1e-JPHQrzZsTMRTNtURpIP_2namSdpSatJNlvLo2ljATjNc-Vn2L3LvJw5NsCTlNNyRrpA18CXg4Wj5lA/s1600/DSCF3080.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjualiac2U9VJ_36wJFLq9WUhnMoPdmSjFlyrljC9JsorlJyOcgU0MVHfPQMT1e-JPHQrzZsTMRTNtURpIP_2namSdpSatJNlvLo2ljATjNc-Vn2L3LvJw5NsCTlNNyRrpA18CXg4Wj5lA/s320/DSCF3080.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
Kobolds!! These are also from Otherworld which I picked up withe the 20% discount I received as part of the rulebook deal. These I really like and were fun to do.<br />
<br />
<br />
Once these were done I then decided I needed to do more heroes, so painted an elf fighter/thief, again from Otherworld Miniatures:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB-V9By_cTvH1eEKn083XtRAIRmsBmj7UqvYUMNfZnxy-L2fDcW7hbqZ3T9YPvUbppKI4mSI-SgZAzLY4VEL_hc8LXmiOR9Ld6dI8dheZUzOzBdHdxs0WRiH-FednpiPDL9U4S0NvgHpc/s1600/DSCF3086.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB-V9By_cTvH1eEKn083XtRAIRmsBmj7UqvYUMNfZnxy-L2fDcW7hbqZ3T9YPvUbppKI4mSI-SgZAzLY4VEL_hc8LXmiOR9Ld6dI8dheZUzOzBdHdxs0WRiH-FednpiPDL9U4S0NvgHpc/s320/DSCF3086.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhQSTtldDVNJxXMcALLJ78dbPJxH2KV-yaC_KiqWPTu9eH0QBkAv6daDHLqMXTOfhcMPgEUTFJuAfCfi8YTGXnbLFeFEP1LVKxE8aQnE0SGNOTw1euQEUrNIEPQcRTjDlRMhKKQ2q8dPI/s1600/DSCF3087.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhQSTtldDVNJxXMcALLJ78dbPJxH2KV-yaC_KiqWPTu9eH0QBkAv6daDHLqMXTOfhcMPgEUTFJuAfCfi8YTGXnbLFeFEP1LVKxE8aQnE0SGNOTw1euQEUrNIEPQcRTjDlRMhKKQ2q8dPI/s320/DSCF3087.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
Again, I really like this model. I really like the action pose the sculptor has put into it.<br />
<br />
Once that was done I decided to turn back to Guildball and finished Jac, the last of my Fishermen team:<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjplbCjKfYb0I11wBMLaE3y6cUQLG64t4qEI2Ropcr3hX1zHQChb9MoEPbUHTPEKe7_o-5og_bkXVzy6EcFuJHELeqh5RNsC6n3CNqlRMao9BvlDLjwEAE5_lyr6jnRTl5TOrrJg-LeWJc/s1600/DSCF3093.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjplbCjKfYb0I11wBMLaE3y6cUQLG64t4qEI2Ropcr3hX1zHQChb9MoEPbUHTPEKe7_o-5og_bkXVzy6EcFuJHELeqh5RNsC6n3CNqlRMao9BvlDLjwEAE5_lyr6jnRTl5TOrrJg-LeWJc/s320/DSCF3093.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNm1ymRf3tCQX7zSmVVC53l5tdbyUKplE2W8eCx7jyRnclewxPDLV5YQvMD2M3AJXBphOykfdiJTRxdFKzX8Emzz0s2tbd2LlHu0VDdfxHh1GVYrpawgkafWN0-HLD7Q4rGF6uD-VKcW8/s1600/DSCF3094.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNm1ymRf3tCQX7zSmVVC53l5tdbyUKplE2W8eCx7jyRnclewxPDLV5YQvMD2M3AJXBphOykfdiJTRxdFKzX8Emzz0s2tbd2LlHu0VDdfxHh1GVYrpawgkafWN0-HLD7Q4rGF6uD-VKcW8/s320/DSCF3094.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
This was another model I'd started a while ago but lost interest in. An hour or so's work, though, and I'd finished him and he fits nicely with the others.<br />
<br />
From there I moved onto Hemlocke - a Union team player. This is one of my favourite models, along with Shark, the fishermen team captain. I'd already painted her once but that was sold with the Alchemists team to Mr Woodward.<br />
<br />

<br />
And finally I completed work on The Comedian from the Watchmen.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the first model I've done for my Batman skirmish game force Kieron showed me a while back. Now that its finished I'll be picking up another to do.<br />
The pictures have not come out that clear. Most of the model is wearing a black uniform/suit which needs highlighting with various greys. Not too much though, otherwise he starts to just look grey.<br />
<br />
<br />
So that's it. Like I said, not having to concentrate on one set of models seems to have meant that I've got more done which is good for reducing the lead mountain.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-64436161333105998032015-08-24T11:33:00.000-07:002015-08-24T11:33:30.342-07:00Otherworld Fantasy Skirmish - the Game I've been looking forSo. First epic fail. Still not managing to do the regular posts I was going to. I'll have another go at committing myself. However, this post is about a new game.<br />
<br />
Otherworld Fantasy Skirmish by Otherworld miniatures is a skirmish level battle system based on the Level 7 combat system.<br />
<br />
This is something I've been looking for for a number of years. The system allows you to build warbands from pretty much any fantasy model you have and allows you to include monsters such as ogres, manticores, giants and owlbears. You can even build a warband led by a dragon!! The rulebook contains all the normal sections you'd expect with less emphasis on magic. Each round is a roll off to see who gets to activate first. You then get a number of activation tokens equal to half the number of figures on the board. So not all of your figures are going to activate in a round. Combat consists of reaching a to hit value and then a damage value, armour giving a saving throw. Most models will have a single wound with your more important champions and large monsters 2 or 3. Once a model is reduced to zero wounds he becomes incapacitated and if not healed by the end of the round then its removed as a casualty. To add a further complication there is an Adventure deck that the defending player creates but only the attacking player draws from. This deck will contain treasures or traps or wandering monsters that may be in the area. These are drawn when a model interacts with Adventure tokens scattered around the play area.<br />
<br />
There are victory conditions based on the scenario to determines who won.<br />
I've played through a basic game to get a feel for it which didn't include a lot of the abilities and am pleased both with how it plays and the balance that seems to have been built into the game.<br />
<br />
Here is the game as I played it through.<br />
<br />
The scenario:<br />
The village, Bandville, has hired a band of heroes to put a stop to a band of fanatics who have been terrorising them for months. Rumours abound that the head of the cult has been making sacrifices to the dark gods and gone mad with infernal powers.<br />
<br />
The heroes, led by the mercenary captain Rikyn Greed have tracked the cult to natural caverns in the hills surrounding the village and have just entered to confront the cultists.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzBSXmYlksYurKwkZK6VUPVGiCfBPcjHhOTEFhsYYVpkOdcVc5S0s86yorQGgpmxLWz0GOog7ftTwNYlVuJbUc1EgpSxHxCMudECsqXN8n_Od0hMqvAUW8MMNtJ1gY3rmLnPsq970XDWY/s1600/DSCF3050.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzBSXmYlksYurKwkZK6VUPVGiCfBPcjHhOTEFhsYYVpkOdcVc5S0s86yorQGgpmxLWz0GOog7ftTwNYlVuJbUc1EgpSxHxCMudECsqXN8n_Od0hMqvAUW8MMNtJ1gY3rmLnPsq970XDWY/s320/DSCF3050.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyqjtkBQfnj0XaFpcRuQwdajmsicYgWaAqVW64M97zLfLHGZiABzCX3FIYlDn7ZiRWw2DzC_4ynLgEGgX3g2XtxvDI1mnd0hQqj_vv5VSnd9v4_myqQLt1TnW22lOEtR7sJRWi3eW7sgM/s1600/DSCF3051.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyqjtkBQfnj0XaFpcRuQwdajmsicYgWaAqVW64M97zLfLHGZiABzCX3FIYlDn7ZiRWw2DzC_4ynLgEGgX3g2XtxvDI1mnd0hQqj_vv5VSnd9v4_myqQLt1TnW22lOEtR7sJRWi3eW7sgM/s320/DSCF3051.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
The heroes found the leader of the cult exhorting to the dark gods in some sort of infernal ritual and were determined to put an end this evil.<br />
<br />
The heroes were to have the first turn but still rolled for initiative to determine who would receive fate tokens. These are used to allow a side to make re-rolls or buy extra activations.<br />
<br />
The captain also has the Leader (1) ability, allowing another activation token to be placed. This allowed five of the heroic band to move forward. Each model has two actions. The majority moved forward but the elf - Solan Brighteyes, moved and then fired his bow downing one of the fanatics.<br />
<br />
The cult, led by the high-priest Ludo, then moved. Several of the cultists charged forward, stabbing with their daggers but ineffectually. Ludo, himself begins chanting but the dark powers don't answer.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpb85WQfiEQaSpt2xery21sh7LgpcLpHl2RZ0IDlsybyNmgndZNF0EBZ3vokI18EgRu5BNVptNw-TZA28wPFSCkO8mCsgDUZyXRWubTUyxfZuVrcY_ahDYL0SRI3-3DiXsXSVEiEDsKTc/s1600/DSCF3052.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpb85WQfiEQaSpt2xery21sh7LgpcLpHl2RZ0IDlsybyNmgndZNF0EBZ3vokI18EgRu5BNVptNw-TZA28wPFSCkO8mCsgDUZyXRWubTUyxfZuVrcY_ahDYL0SRI3-3DiXsXSVEiEDsKTc/s320/DSCF3052.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJnlCLQRLI021KVaXUzb2FtdnAy_R0ay8vA4VaPksVtbBNQmljbgXYFWwCCGulkLnDb976cwlf2tJpx5bRTHP0Gok8THnd2ED3sA6eV3NOp2etJFEXfuGaS_9Xeqndzyxz1TYG4hbLrBk/s1600/DSCF3054.JPG" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJnlCLQRLI021KVaXUzb2FtdnAy_R0ay8vA4VaPksVtbBNQmljbgXYFWwCCGulkLnDb976cwlf2tJpx5bRTHP0Gok8THnd2ED3sA6eV3NOp2etJFEXfuGaS_9Xeqndzyxz1TYG4hbLrBk/s320/DSCF3054.JPG" /></a><br />
<br />
At the end of the round, any models that are reduced to zero wounds are removed as casualties and a new round starts. The heroes, again win this, gaining a fate token. The elf bowman takes down another fanatic worshipper and Rilkyn dispatches a third. More actiavations allow for other member of the heroic party to move forward. The bandit, Julian Fairweather sneaks forward looking for opportunities.<br />
Next, the cultists activate. Ludo, again exhorts the dark powers and this time he is answered. Two terrifying skeletons claw their way from the earth. Goblins armed with bows take up positions on the right shooting back at the adventurers.<br />
Ludo has the Magic (1) ability with the Raise dead spell. Each point in magic allows you learn a spell and gives you a magic dice pool with which to cast a spell. When casting a spell you select a number of dice from the pool and add your intelligence to the result, needing to reach or exceed the target number.<br />

At the end of the round another two cultists have been dispatched and the heroes look like they are to have an easy victory. However with the new round the cultists win the initiative and press forward their attack. The cultists activate a couple of the goblins, one of them striking true, wounding Rikyn. Rilkyn has two wounds so continues to fight on. There are no penalties to a wounded model. Ludo has the Leader (2) ability and this is used to activate the two, newly risen skeletons who charge the mercenary captain. The combined assault defeats the captain's defences and he falls to the stabbing undead. With the loss of the captain the adventurers no longer have access to extra activation tokens. However as their current number is still seven they still receive four. An innefectual round, though, see's them making little progress.<br />

Winds of fate switch again, seeing the heroes take the initiative on the next round. Cultists have engaged the sneaky bandit. Solan moves and strikes from the rear dispatching another of the cultists, helping the beleaguered bandit. One of the fighters bravely engages the skeletons but to no avail and the dwarf continues to trade blows with one of the remaining fanatics.<br />
The cultists strike down the bandit and Ludo charges and takes down the elf with a single blow from his infernal mace. Each weapon has its own profile. The mace has the brutal characteristic, allowing you to roll two dice for any damage rolls and choosing the higher.<br />

The following round sees the heroes win the initiative again. Brock the dwarf finally smashes a skeleton with his heavy axe but one of the remaining cultists manages to stab one of the adventurers' archers in return.<br />

<br />
At the end of this round both the attacking and defending warbands have both reached their break point - losing at least half of their models. Both need to make a Shaken roll against the highest morale remaining with the roll having a -1 modifier. Failure sees d3 models flees the table. The rolls see the cultists waver whilst the adventurers stay strong. Both remaining goblins and one of the fanatics break and flee through the right-hand tunnel.<br />
The remaining two cultists and skeletons continue to fight on.<br />

<br />
The tide had turned once again, in favour of the adventurers and with a combination of the final archer and the dwarf, defeated the high priest and his remaining undead skeleton, destroying the darkness enshrouding the village.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, my thoughts.<br />
<br />
Warband creation can take a while. This is because of the amount of customization options that are open to you. Playing the game is fast and brutal. I played without the adventure cards as I'd not received them yet, and with minions promoted to leaders rather than legends and companions. I also played at the lowest recoommended points level of approximately 100gp. The game is really designed best with scenarios, which is what I was looking for. This, together with the ability to create any type of scenario hits all the buttons for me as it scratches the roleplaying itch that originally got me into this hobby.<br />

Some of these I enjoyed doing but a number had been undercoated in black primer, which I'm not a fan of. Stu had a colour scheme in mind which limited the palette and then wanted an 'offworld jungle' effect for the bases. Hopefully I've acheived that. Anyway he seemed happy with the results.<br />
<br />
What I don't like about the Infinity models is that they are a pain to put together. You don't get instructions and its a matter of matching the pictures to the pieces to decide where they go.<br />
<br />
We'll be looking at version 3 of the rules later this year. I've got some of my one to complete to fill out my own faction.<br />

I've got a number of these Westwind models that I picked up 2nd hand a few years ago. I do like the detail and its nice to mix it up a bit. <br />
<br />
With no more large armies to work through I'm finding I can flit from one thing to another which keeps things interesting.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-54791669197055808252015-05-05T12:29:00.000-07:002015-05-05T12:29:00.244-07:00Guildball, an overviewSo, I posted some pictures last week about a new game - Guildball.<br />
<br />
I've now played a few games and demoed a few others and wanted to give my impression.<br />
<br />
Guildball is a fantasy football games set in a medieval time period. Each team is associated with a guild, such as the Butchers, the Fishermen, the Morticians, etc.<br />
<br />
Each team has a different flavour, and so far they all have their own distinct styles.<br />
<br />
A team is made up of 6 players - a captain, a mascot and four other players. All are named and hold different positions, skill sets.<br />
<br />
The aim of the game is to gain 12 victory points. You get 4 points for a goal and 2 points for taking out a player.<br />
<br />
Each round all players get one activation and during that activation they can make one move and a number of actions based on the number of influence tokens they are assigned at the beginning of each round. These actions range from attacking an opposing player, kicking the ball to casting a spell.<br />
<br />
As I said, you win by scoring goals and taking players out. Taking a player out is fairly straight forward. Keep hitting him until he falls over and won't get up again. Scoring a goal requires the other game resource - momentum. Momentum is generated by passing the ball and selecting certain results when attacking players and can be spent on a number of actions such as healing, removing some negative conditions, dodging and, importantly, taking a shot a goal. Momentum is also used to help determine who goes first each round and is reset to 0 at the end of each round. This makes scoring a goal a little more difficult than just activating the player with the ball and taking a shot. Something I forgot to do in the last game I played - Doh!<br />
<br />
<br />
The above are the basics. We've found, after playing a single game, you grasp the flow of the gameplay and quickly learn the strengths of your team. The I go, you go mechanic forces you to plan the order of player activation and the synergy between players allows for powerful combinations to be set up.<br />
<br />
Overall this is a great game. One that I see has a bright future and a clear view for expansion.<br />
<br />
If you get a chance give it a go.<br />
<br />

<br />
And I'll start with a new game - Guildball. What a fantastic game. Its the unnatural child of Bloodbowl and Malifaux. Two teams of six players meet on the field of battle to kick a ball about and beat the crap out of your rivals.<br />
<br />
I backed this in the Kickstarter last year and I think its the best one I've been involved in. Its just demoed at Salute to great enthusiasm and looks like the team behind it have the right motivation and energy to make it a winner.<br />
<br />
So, as this is mainly a painting blog here are my efforts:<br />
<br />
I give you the Alchemists<br />

and the Hoarcat Pride<br />
<br />
I've started using these in games and found the molemen to be really useful and cheap. A nice addition. The Hoarcat pride, however, I need to work with more as I'm not sure how best to use it yet.<br />
<br />
I've also been working on Infinity<br />

This is the Yu Jing starter box set. The figures are fantastic but I'm yet to play the game. Waiting on JP to finish his force.<br />
<br />
So then I've moved onto another new game - Wild Wext Exodus. This is a new skirmish level game that has just been released. I got involved via the Kickstarter with the figures turning up just after Christmas. I got two factions - Outlaws and Enlightened, with a whole range of extras.<br />
<br />
I've put a good proportion of it together and am now painting it<br />
Here's Gustav Eiffell in his infernal contraption:<br />

He's a boss from the Enlightened faction. I'm missing a couple of models which Outlaw Miniatures are forwarding.<br />
I've also been adding to my Wild West town with the following street lamps<br />

I had my first game with Kelly last week and its fast and brutal. Its showing good promise and am looking forward to bigger games in the near future.<br />
<br />
And finally here are some gladiators from the Spartacus boardgame:<br />

These were a commission. Not bad detail for boardgame pieces. They've come up well though there was some issue with one of the bases.<br />
<br />
So there we have it. Fair bit of flitting from one thing to another which keeps painting a pleasure.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-89384118887211653102013-11-26T13:39:00.001-08:002013-11-26T13:39:09.783-08:00Berserkers GaloreSo as usual I've been bouncing from project to project - Mighty Armies, a dragon, and Viking Berserkers.<br />

So, for today I'll show the berserkers in progress.<br />

I've actually finished the first four but haven't had time to take the photos yet. But the above shows where I'm going with them. These are foundry figures and are a joy to paint. I did think about varying the bear skins but in the end, decided to do 'em all pretty much the same way. <br />
<br />
My intention was to complete all ten, including a leader model but as is the way at the moment, something else came along, namely Infinity. This is a new game for me, though its been around for a while. Its a skirmish level tactical sci-fi game. I've started on one of the troopers and photos will follow this weekend.<br />
<br />
But then, Christmas is now getting in the way as my wife has come up with an excellent idea. My wife has two brothers who are both Dr Who fans and so I've been commissioned to paint the current doctors and assistants. As I need to do these by 14th December I guess I'll have to curb my butterfly nature and focus on just these.<br />
Can't say I'm complaining as I'm looking forward to painting them. The figures are from Heresy Miniatures and the likenesses aren't too bad. So I'll keep this post short and post a longer one including all the doctors after the weekend.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-81114707478104710362013-11-10T09:56:00.000-08:002013-11-10T09:56:26.162-08:00Barbarian ArchersSo this week I've been mostly painting barbarians. I bought these models ages ago, can't remember what for but then they went into a box, as has happened on a number of occasions, and there they sat.<br />

Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet but, for the time being they've gone into my ever growing dungeon collection.<br />
<br />
<br />
Speaking of which, I've seen some rules I'm quite interested in by Otherworld Miniatures. This is one of my favourite miniatures companies. They produce a classic range of fantasy miniatures based on the pictures in the original Dungeons and Dragons and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying games. I've got a growing collection of various monsters, some of which, such as the Beholder and giant rats, I've completed.<br />
<br />
I've seen my next purchase from them<br />
<br />
http://otherworldminiatures.co.uk/shop/dab-series-dungeon-adventurers-boxed-sets/dab3-female-characters-12/#<br />
<br />
But for these I need some ebay pennies.<br />
<br />
As well as the barbarians I've also been working on a number of other pieces<br />
<br />
I have an old Marauder Giant, an example of which is below:<br />

I've been working on mine on and off for a week so far. With Kelly's help I've made a MDF base and most of him is now attached, although I think I'm missing a couple of extras like the barrel. Hopefully I should have pictures soon.<br />
<br />
I've also been looking at the various dragons that I have. As those that know me, I have a penchant for dragons and have collected many over the year, even painting a few. Well I've started consolidating my collection and have found a number of dragons I didn't even know I had. I'm working on one at the moment and have made a custom base for it to sit on. I'll have pictures of that soon as well.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-66786948883667681662013-11-03T09:42:00.001-08:002013-11-03T09:42:49.941-08:00A bit here, a bit thereSo a couple of weeks have gone by and its time for an update.<br />
<br />
Firstly we have Professor Erasmus. <br />

This is an Empire of the Dead model, another gift from Andy. I really, really like this model. The detail in the sculpt is brilliant and was a pleasure to paint. Not sure if I'll play Empire of the Dead again (where the model comes from) but as I enjoyed painting it so much I've already benefitted.<br />
<br />
Next I have an old Citatel Centaur:<br />
<br />

This one came from Kelly. I'm unsure about this one. Its going into the fantasy collection for the proposed dungeon bash for the time being but it may find its way onto ebay.<br />
<br />
Lastly, after the dragon I dug out one of the Bushido starter sets.<br />
<br />
These are the Savage Wave.<br />
<br />
Firsly we have Zuma the All Seeing:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgybkEJzcAT-omQvk7fXb8rO8QYKKpSNGfbZc41areUZbER1MAWH34_JZh8SxBaI2I-EKUK-zzKtw5X8Aysh4wxNMVyOCvJX0dZLSTrRgAle_2fQor4frY1FHbB22VjPYzDvENkevGMm8o/s1600/Zuba+the+All+Seeing+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgybkEJzcAT-omQvk7fXb8rO8QYKKpSNGfbZc41areUZbER1MAWH34_JZh8SxBaI2I-EKUK-zzKtw5X8Aysh4wxNMVyOCvJX0dZLSTrRgAle_2fQor4frY1FHbB22VjPYzDvENkevGMm8o/s320/Zuba+the+All+Seeing+1.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlArS6H_7w00MoFJNYzD4ue7UnAU_wrrqt_-KOvvj4r3ARFbFaY2ovuXWwazFkEF3cwSZV-pglQ5HMXQXHFa_V5XcOM2PQ_HTUlwc2bYuM5iqB6CKLxtbhpQS5a14FmQ1hLuyOQSyzcy0/s1600/Zuba+the+All+Seeing+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlArS6H_7w00MoFJNYzD4ue7UnAU_wrrqt_-KOvvj4r3ARFbFaY2ovuXWwazFkEF3cwSZV-pglQ5HMXQXHFa_V5XcOM2PQ_HTUlwc2bYuM5iqB6CKLxtbhpQS5a14FmQ1hLuyOQSyzcy0/s320/Zuba+the+All+Seeing+2.JPG" /></a></div><br />

And the other five as work in process:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzJtRCUMAr9CebOia1h0i7zZNdnkdgHDH1roG1Yt529bD5M5Mag7j8QKKfEsIUueXz98odqp8PL_JtHVCYq3-_7eYQBr0L8XdMT_1k8uF6ZBI6yg3Ze0hlHI10LXM6qmskwZUVV7EZUFM/s1600/Bakemono+Maurauders+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzJtRCUMAr9CebOia1h0i7zZNdnkdgHDH1roG1Yt529bD5M5Mag7j8QKKfEsIUueXz98odqp8PL_JtHVCYq3-_7eYQBr0L8XdMT_1k8uF6ZBI6yg3Ze0hlHI10LXM6qmskwZUVV7EZUFM/s320/Bakemono+Maurauders+3.JPG" /></a></div><br />
These are very well crafted figures but do come in an inordinately large number of pieces. It took a night just to put them all together. Having said that they have also not required any filling what so ever.<br />
<br />
With these done I'll be half way there. I've also been looking at scenery requirements. Sarissa produce some lovely buildngs which I'll be looking to pick up. I can use the scenery I have at the moment but if I like the game then I'll be adding it to the future purchases list.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-78445834238780838092013-10-19T14:33:00.001-07:002013-10-19T14:33:34.402-07:00Gladiators ready!!So I've been working on these for the last couple of weeks, in between stuff for Malifaux. <br />

These were bought a couple of years ago and were going to be used for a gladiator game that one of the club members was building a coloseum for. And as with a lot of projects over the years it stalled. Still, they were something different to do and although, not the best sculpts out there I think they've turned out ok.<br />
<br />
And finally, I painted the first of the Bushido models I bought from Salute, again a couple of years ago. <br />

I really like this model. It ticks all the boxes for me - Fantastic sculpt, Chinese mythology and its a dragon!!!<br />
<br />
Its currently going to be used as part of my Malifaux crew but finishing this one will spur me on to finishing both of the Bushido factions I bought. And then I'll give the game a go. <br />

<br />

Its a linear rock outcrop that he's kept simple. I did a basic paint job to see how it would look with a bit of flock and long grass to provide an accent.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinHcsKgIlNslif-8c0CTfuuhBXBNfA_YC3sEVYqIePdEQ5bOGL35Pmflq1lPRyECznUBOZYxxxzBWdODyXGr-Yx0jCx1dmxMS2816XMfhbcNEDp7Oixs0NUSCm91qyaXNkmkN0VbIYP4o/s1600/Rocky+Barrier+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinHcsKgIlNslif-8c0CTfuuhBXBNfA_YC3sEVYqIePdEQ5bOGL35Pmflq1lPRyECznUBOZYxxxzBWdODyXGr-Yx0jCx1dmxMS2816XMfhbcNEDp7Oixs0NUSCm91qyaXNkmkN0VbIYP4o/s320/Rocky+Barrier+2.JPG" /></a></div><br />
The long grass needs sorting out and I missed a bit on the painting that I'll tidy up but I think, as a small outcropping linear obstacle its not bad. Useful for the fantasy and scifi market he's aiming for.<br />

I know, I know, we all have more stuff than we will ever paint and we buy stuff for projects that never happen. And its with this in mind that I've started a clearing process. So I took a look at some of the stuff that I didn't think I'd either ever get round to painting or would never use again and sent it Ebay's way.<br />
<br />
So bye bye, Epic 40K, see ya, Dark Elves, and adios fell bats. This is just the start as I have loads of stuff that I'll either never get round to or that I painted years ago but have not used since.<br />
<br />
So that was the old and now the new. <br />

He's a limited edition model that Andy gave me as he didn't really get on with the game and was done as more of a painting project than anything else. I find painting in blacks an interesting challenge but am please with the results. However, not sure when I'll get to use him as the EOTD faction I have are a bunch of mad clerics. I may need to pick up something like the gentleman's club faction as a rival. Something to ponder.<br />
<br />
<br />
Next up I have a new female cleric from Reaper miniatures: <br />

This is Sora Goldflame and is adding to the ever growing list of fantasy heroes I have. I think I'll need to concentrate on creatures for the heroes to fight as they are currently outnumbered.<br />

And finally I needed some treasure markers.<br />

These are from the Hirst Arts molds I mentioned in a previous post. I've based them to use in Malifaux as objective markers for my Arcanist crew. I've got some crystal markers I want to make but this will do for now.<br />

That has sort of followed me pretty much to the present day and although I don't really do any roleplaying any more I still feel most at home in fantasy land.
And with that in mind I've always wanted to make my own dungeon. A couple of year ago I came across Hirst Arts molds and this was what I'd been looking for. However it took me the next couple of years before I'd give it a go. I resarched the different sorts of plaster, what you needed, what the problems were and watched a number of Youtube vids to get a good idea on what I was letting myself in for.
And then I went for it.
On Hirst Arts website there are a number of projects you can follow and the Water Caverns was the one for me.
So here is where I am at the moment:
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiWMi-ca2wwy9VnDie2L3qxiZv53txYTOWoqGuxmP6mEItfWRir0lfFYqhx-lEMCt37pu0Y4n8SkXNl047R3V0DaLaYDWJ_kHPZnx_7EhGE0ARVRIhM-ihl4yIn5sBFriot6RssiCXO4I/s1600/Water+Caverns+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiWMi-ca2wwy9VnDie2L3qxiZv53txYTOWoqGuxmP6mEItfWRir0lfFYqhx-lEMCt37pu0Y4n8SkXNl047R3V0DaLaYDWJ_kHPZnx_7EhGE0ARVRIhM-ihl4yIn5sBFriot6RssiCXO4I/s320/Water+Caverns+3.JPG" /></a></div>
As you can see the basics are there. I'd made a number of modular pieces base on blue high density foam. You'll see the river carved out, currently dry. and a number of stand alone pieces - Stalagmites and doorways.
Here are some more:

All the pieces come from three of the molds. I spent a couple of weeks constantly casting before I had enough, then went through the process of putting doorways and stalagmites together. Once that had all dried I base coated everything in dark grey. and then started with the colours, followed by various levels of highlight.
There's still plenty to do as its not big enough, floor space wise, the river needs finishing and I've got a lot more stalagmites to get through. But I'm happy with what I've done so far.
Here are some close up shots with some of the fantasy figures for scale:

Above a Beholder from Otherworld miniatures. I love these models and it takes me back to my role playing days many a moon ago. This one I did earlier this year and it gave me the opportunity to have a crack at eyes. I rather like the effect I acheived, though it may not be picked up by the camera. Still learning to take pictures. I have a number of others from this range which I intend to do a bit at a time. Gotta love the classics.

And here's a hill giant that I think came from Reaper Miniatures. The home of the fantasy figure. I'd bought this along with a load of halflings to use in a Mordheim campaign which never happened. So its been sitting in a cabinet waiting for some painting love and I finally found some. And the love for fantasy and Reaper doesn't stop there:

A wizard, cleric and fighter. The wizard is Cadarius from the Reaper range but I can't remember where the cleric and fighter came from. I'm not happy with the bases for the last two so will revisit some time in the near future.
And finally for this post:

A classic wizard and a gnome fighter. These two are really old figures that I got from my mate Kelly who is a hoarder of epic proportions, though he is cleansing with the help of Ebay.
Well having said I'm not going to make any more commitments I may as well break that now. Next I'll be posting some pictures of a water cavern I have in progress. 'll keep the details until then and, hopefully that will be soon.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-43641995838928861632013-04-14T17:14:00.000-07:002013-04-14T17:14:00.831-07:00Time to lay my cardsSo, to keep up my blogging and to focus myself I think I'll lay out what I'm planning what I'm going to be doing for the rest of this year.
So where to start. Well that are at least three projects I'd like to advance and probably more like five or six. I'll try to articulate them and then see if I can put them into some sort or order. So what do I want to do?
1 - The Wild West Experience. I recently got the Kickstarter bug and bought into the Wild West Exodus project, investing in two factions - Outlaws and Enlghtened, with my mate Kelly going for the Warrior Nation. This game has some great looking steampunk wild west models with a spiffy skirmish game to boot. As part of the promotion the guys behind the game built a terrain board that is spectacular. A Wild West town with a sci-fi twist. Its inspired me to do something similar. So I've bought a load of buildings and bits and pieces from two different companies. So my goal is to put these together and paint them ready to be used for Wild West Exodus.
2 - Bushido. Last year I went to Salute for the first time. A fantastic show but expensive to get there and get in. Well, at the show I came across a new skirmish game called Bushido. I've got a great interest in the orient and its mythology so bought a couple of factions with the intention of being able to give a game to others by providing both sides. Currently I've not done anything with these. So this goal is to get both factions painted and have a few games.
3 - Wild West Exodus - This is linked to the wild west town above. The models aren't due until September but I'd like to add this goal as an outsider. Paint enough to be able to start playing.
4 - Malifaux. As you will have seen I've recently gotten involved with this. I've already painted my crew, though one model's base needs completing. So this is a somewhat easier goal. I'd like to add a few more models to give me some options and, more importantly play a lot more games.
5 - Kings of War. This was the big thing for me for the latter part of last year and the first part of this. I built an orc army which I've already successfully used in a competition earlier this year. Well, this was the Kickstarter I got involved with last year and this June comes the remainder of the models I'm owed. I went into this with Kelly so, after we split the orc and undead faction models we'll need to have a chat about the rest to see who takss home what. So with my haul I'd like to get them together to increase the orc army I've got and give me more options. So this goal will be to paint up the trolls, war wagons, etc and add them to my army.
6 Warpath. Warpath is Mantic's answer to Warhammer 40K and Kelly talked me into picking up a starter set for a bargain. I've done a couple of units but have plenty more to do to get it to any sort of usable force. So this goal will be to paint all the units I currently have so that I have 1000 points worth to play with.
7 - Dungeons. I've always been interested in the fantasy side of the hobby, spending a lot of years playing and running role playing games before moving to wargames. And I've always wanted to build a 3D dungeon but never took it further than that. Well, this year, that's going to change. Hirst Arts produce some fantastic molds for this sort of thing and I've gone and bought some. So this goal is to build a dungeon. Initially it will be used for Malifaux but I have other ideas.
8 - Build a desert board. I've got a few boards knocking about but fancy a desert type board to use with the wild west buildings. I've already got the MDF base but this will need a fair bit of work before its ready. So this goal will be to finish the desert board.
9 - The Tomb Kings. You'll see from earlier posts that I was building this army last year. I finished enough for about 2 to 3 thousand points but have at least another thousand to go. So the goal is to complete the Tomb Kings I own.
So, there you have it. 9 major goals to achieve. Do I think I will do them all? No. But by listing them I'll focus my mind a little more and just might get a little more completed.
Looking at the above the two priority projects are the town buildings and the dungeon. I've already put most of the buildings together and started painting the first My next highest priority will be the Malifaux stuff. This should be achievable as I've pretty much done all I have already and only want a few more models for this year. After that I'm not sure and we'll have to see.
Oh, one last goal - to keep blogging on a regular basis. This may be one of the more difficult goals but one I will try and achieve. We'll just have to wait and see.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-8570211318172919452013-04-11T03:20:00.000-07:002013-04-11T03:20:15.960-07:00So no longer do I post something after an age another one appears.
There reason being - Malifaux
I've recently been introduced to this game by Stu, currently housebound by lots of small people. And what a fantastic little skirmish game it is. For those who have not come across it do so. Its a skirmish game where you have a crew with a master (read general) and minions/henchmen (read red shirts) and you will have a random objective assigned plus a couple of chosen smaller objectives. The winner is the one who best completes their objectives.
The model count is very low around 6 to 8 normally, and its played best on a heavily laden 3 * 3 terrain board.
So I chose Marcus from the Arcanists as my master

The buildings you see in the background are some new purchases. They are MDF buildings from a couple of different companies. Gamecraft in the US and Battle Flag in good old blighty. The Battle Flag ones are much easier to put together as they have instructions. The Gamecraft ones have no internal details and no instructions. They are for a wild west town I want to build and will post about them later once I've slapped some paint on them.
Well two posts in a day after a year and a bit being quiet is enough for now. My intention is to start posting regularly again, so I will be goal setting again as I have a number of things I want to do this year, including building a dungeon. More on that later.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-69928653732170867442013-04-11T01:46:00.000-07:002013-04-11T01:46:00.515-07:00The Numpty ReturnsWell, its been a long time since I've done a post on here but after seeing some of the work my club mates have been up to I thought it about time I got back into it.
So, from where I last left off what have I been upto?
Well, oddly enough, painting and playing games. Over the last year and half I've slowly stopped playing Warhammer and picked up my brush for Mantic's Kings of War, painting an orc army in entirety and here's the results:

Looks like I've got to sort out my flash as when it works the pictures are a little sharper.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-8565628879834831142011-08-28T11:10:00.000-07:002011-08-28T11:10:17.388-07:00The end is nighWell, with it being the last weekend of the month and not having a lot of painting time left what with real life getting in the way I'm following the trend of the x gamers and making this my final post of the month.<br />
<br />
So I set myself a challenge of finishing one of my own units and one of Andy's dwarfs and at mid-point I'd managed to finish my unit.<br />
<br />
And to cut a long story short, I managed to finish Andy's Thunderers and then a couple of others<br />
<br />
The Thunderers:<br />

I found these a different challenge to what I normally do as I've had to adapt my normal style of painting to Andy's as he'd already finished a number of the dwarfs. I think I've managed it.<br />
<br />
This left a few days this week so I decided to finish a project I'd started a month or so ago and also eat a little more into Andy's figures.<br />
<br />
So for Andy I've painted this rune smith:<br />

With this I wanted to try and achieve the feeling of the statue just coming to life as it steps down to defend the city and am fairly pleased with the results.<br />
<br />
You also may have noticed that none of the dwarfs are based. Well, this isn't me being slapdash. Andy has some ideas how he wants to base them and so I'm leaving it to him. From what he's told me I think they will look fantastic but woe be tide facing them on the field of battle as he's just picked up another forty thunderers as well as a variety of other shooty death.<br />
<br />
So for me that's it for this month. Challenge met and extras done.<br />
<br />
So to next month:<br />
<br />
I'm keeping it simple and splitting my time between mine and Andy's stuff.<br />
<br />
So for me I've got a couple of characters and for Andy, a unit of 12 warriors with great weapons. Not a lot, you may say but it means that it should be achievable and I've got an idea for the extra but have to get the materials before I can move forward with it.<br />
<br />
So that's it for another week.<br />

And so with these done its time to move onto the second half of my challenge this month, which will be Andy's thunderers, made somewhat easier by the fact that he had already started some of them.<br />

Oh, and as a side note, for those that are interested. If you take a look at the Warhammer Forum you'll find a post relating to the new ogre book. Ignore the comments on how rubbish it will be or how broken WH is and just gaze lovingly at the pitures...<br />

I faced Anneurin's high elves who also saw the castle as a strategic advantage. So with both of us mustering 1500 point forces we fought a capture the two scenario.<br />
<br />
The tomb kings were made of up of the following<br />
<br />
Level 4 hierophant with a dispel scroll, the earthing rod and a 4+ ward save<br />
Level 2 Liche priest with the law of light,<br />
Tomb Prince on foot<br />
28 skeletons,<br />
a unit of three chariots<br />
a unit of 3 necro knights<br />
13 archers<br />
a hierotitan<br />
and a casket<br />
<br />
The elves came with a level 2 mage with the law of shadow,<br />
a prince battlestandard on a horse<br />
a large block of knights on horses, a large block of seagard, 10 sword masters and a lion drawn chariot.<br />
<br />
Apart from the tower there was a hill with an elvern waystone (though we played it as non-magical as neither of us were on home teritory<br />
<br />
The high elves won the toss but couldn't deploy anything in the building as they didn't have a unit small enough. This gave me the first turn. So I moved everything forward, the skeles toward the tower, the chariots to face the knights with the titan as support.<br />
Magic did some damage to the chariot and the sword masters and shooting a little more.<br />
The elves then moved. The chariot moved out to my right flank, the swordmasters into the tower and the seaguard and knights in a position to shoot and charge respectively, the archers going into two ranks to maximise shooting.<br />
Magic didn't really do anything but shooting took down a few archers.<br />
<br />
Turn 2<br />
The skeles repositioned to take a charge from the chariot and the titan moved further forward in preparation of the charge against the knights.<br />
Magic saw me get off smiting on the archers, bringing back the dead in the process and getting off light of death but the elves passed the leadership test. Shooting was nasty as I shot everything at the swordmasters, killing enough to cause a panic test, which they promptly failed and fled from the tower. Yay.<br />
<br />
The elves retaliated by declaring a charge with the chariot on the skeles and on the chariots with the knights. The first succeeded but the second was short by an inch. The Seaguard elected to stay where they were and the swordmasters rallied. Magic saw the first of the mindrazor spells cast and fail by 1 (which is bloody horrible as it switches the unit's strenth with their leadership, making them strength 8). Shooting saw the seaguard butcher the chariots, destroying one of them.<br />
And then combat. The lion chariot did a suitable number of wounds to the skeles who returned the favor by taking two wounds off it and leaving it with one wound. Another 7 skeles died to crumbling.<br />
<br />
Turn 3<br />
The chariots and giant charged the knights and everything else stayed where it was. The necro knights appeared behind the seaguard to threaten the rear. Unfortunately the giant couldn't manage the 7 needed to reach the knights which whould leave the chariots on their own. No worries, I thought, a possible 12 impact hits should still do some damage.<br />
<br />
So I tried casting a large smiting but the elves dispelled it and the rest of my magic was pretty ineffective. Shooting saw me kill a couple of seaguard as that was the only target. Then combat. The lion chariot died to the skeles as predicted and they reformed towards the building and then the chariots. They got a measly 3 impact hits and then did nothing with them, took three wounds from the knights for zero return and crumbled to dust. This allowed the knights to reform and face the titan. Bugger.<br />
<br />
The elves retaliated by charging the titan and moving the swordmasters back towards the building. The seaguard reformed to face the necro knights.<br />
<br />
Magic saw the mindrazor spell cast and a withering, further hampering my giant, not that he would get to attack. The giant was killed outright to strength ten attacks. Luckily the building was in the way otherwise the knights could easily have overrun into my skeles. So they reformed to face my archers.<br />
<br />
Turn 4<br />
<br />
Things were not looking great. I'd lost the chariots and giant whilst not making a dent in the knights, my skeles were depleted and my archers were about the be decimated.<br />
<br />
But the game can be won by taking the building so in I went and the necro knights charged the seaguard. Magic failed miserably and shooting knights with a 2+ armour save was a waste of time. The knights lost to the seaguard and got reduced to a single model.<br />
<br />
The elves had the advantage and started to press it home. The knights charged the archers and the swordmasters the building. The seaguard fought the necro knights to a stand still. Magic saw another mindrazor go off on the swordmasters and into the frey they went. The skele archers predictibly died and the elves made their first mistake by reforming to face the lone liche priest. The sword master champion was challenged and needed 5s to hit,which he did with two of his attacks, the prince only saving one of them. The prince managed to cut him down and then the rest of the swardmasters butchered more of the skeles, losing another of their number. More skeles crumbled and the number left was getting dangerously low but we still held the building.<br />
<br />
From turn 4 onwards you roll to see if the scenario ends but this time it did not. So I had at least another round to survive. Magic needed to work this round and I IFd the ward save spell, promptly losing two levels of magic but gaining back much needed forces. I tried light of death on the sword masters and managed to kill one and then bounced it to the seaguard and killed a couple of those as well. With no shooting or combat it was over to the elves<br />
<br />
The seaguard fought and killed the necro knight and reformed towards the building The few remaining swordmasters charged the building again and the knights reformed to face the casket rather than keep chasing the liche priest. Another mindrazor spell was cast on the Swordmasters but this time the elven wizard also IFd and after the fallout, had managed to kill 4 of his companions and disappear into the warp.<br />
Fighting saw the swordmasters cut down more skeles and more crumbling but still the tomb kings owned the tower.<br />
<br />
The rest of the elves again butchered the skeles and after the final count and crumbling only the standard and heirophant were left. But the tomb kings still had control<br />
<br />
Unfortunately the roll to end the game didn't go my way so another turn needed to be fought.<br />
<br />
Turn 6<br />
<br />
Things were now desperate. No movement meant going to the magic phase and for once I had a doozy. 6 dice thrown at the casket saw it IFd and as the spell is an inate ability there is no miscast result. This saw how powerful the light of death spell can be. The spell rolls three d6 and compares this to the unit's leadership and any points over does a wound with no armour saves. I rolled three 6s killing ten seaguard and then it bounced onto the swardmasters and killed another one of them as well causing them to panic. Another ward save on the hierophant's unit saw them regain troops and then it was the elves turn. <br />
<br />
The knights charged the casket and the seaguard the building. With no magically enhanced attacks the fight was more even and by the end the skeles were still in the building. Albeit down to just the standard and the heirophant again. The knights predicably destroyed the casket and turned to face the building<br />
<br />
And then the roll to end the game... and a 5 ended it.<br />
<br />
Win to the tomb kings, all beit with only two characters and the skele standard to the few remaining seaguard and two thirds of the knights.<br />
<br />
Continuing the game would surely have seen the tomb kings utterly destroyed but this scenerio is all about holding the objective and unbreakable units are great for that.<br />
<br />
Anneurin played a great game and I think I'm going to really struggle against him in the future. I'm learning that the Tomb Kings are a difficult army to win with as they rely on magic to work and if that goes the wrong way you're toast.<br />
<br />
So that's it. Next will be a painting update at the weekend.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-33698462287467944902011-07-30T10:01:00.000-07:002011-07-30T10:01:16.816-07:00July's EndSo its crunch time. The end of the month is here and this is what I've completed.<br />
<br />
As you will know my challenge was three units this month, a unit of charriots: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWpBOM3oRU4kTyYEGseS37N-ziYZNgwSuwkGxqGd3d7L5ENbArpOIlgANdHX7CLkXiI5AxQrDYGZ3U2GMY0NTb7PWIHUd5DOk9U0HJIYtnDVTklSOB9vuM-kuQZ36Np-jXQuXOr_pGjAw/s1600/DSCF0023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWpBOM3oRU4kTyYEGseS37N-ziYZNgwSuwkGxqGd3d7L5ENbArpOIlgANdHX7CLkXiI5AxQrDYGZ3U2GMY0NTb7PWIHUd5DOk9U0HJIYtnDVTklSOB9vuM-kuQZ36Np-jXQuXOr_pGjAw/s320/DSCF0023.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnUpot0_iYxZtIiswOvE5VhSgHf5ePR5OZZhlo1G_AhtEWEYk_SatsLR4wSOAzB-9T4kVPjZRFQ73xTj5bysL3GLf4L8Remh-ENY8Hy6z5LyTLBbLwn70OTbgOPmsJ0SQKs-atG4zZfEA/s1600/DSCF0024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnUpot0_iYxZtIiswOvE5VhSgHf5ePR5OZZhlo1G_AhtEWEYk_SatsLR4wSOAzB-9T4kVPjZRFQ73xTj5bysL3GLf4L8Remh-ENY8Hy6z5LyTLBbLwn70OTbgOPmsJ0SQKs-atG4zZfEA/s320/DSCF0024.jpg" /></a></div><br />

And so onto the extras:<br />
I've completed one of the Necroknights which I'm really pleased with and put together two others ready to paint. Here's the completed one: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh8Ou6_CvybtQawne8zTzM5xn7bwQY8yIlpKwq_2bL09rLVLBNnf9pDbFvB9WsEhuyowbTnydkK16xQrjHFXXJwxZcEP_r3hfDE_wj_LaUn09NI8ejdqqHG0U-PYO-J298X2ZQGc0rdJM/s1600/DSCF0008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh8Ou6_CvybtQawne8zTzM5xn7bwQY8yIlpKwq_2bL09rLVLBNnf9pDbFvB9WsEhuyowbTnydkK16xQrjHFXXJwxZcEP_r3hfDE_wj_LaUn09NI8ejdqqHG0U-PYO-J298X2ZQGc0rdJM/s320/DSCF0008.jpg" /></a></div><br />

and started the bone giant Kelly gave me. This needs a fair bit of work on the base as well as finishing the giant himself but this is the current position: <br />

These are some Dungeons and Dragons figures I've picked up from Otherworld Miminiatures and I'll post others as I do them.<br />
<br />
So finally here's a full shot of everything I've done. Challenge complete:<br />

So now to August. I'm still going to stick to a unit as a challenge and as I've started them it will be the necroknights. I've also agreed to paint some dwarves for Andy from the club and will include this in August's challenge, which will be to finish off his gunners. And, as you can see, I've got the giant to finish, as well as the skull catapult which I should be able to squeeze in. We'll just have to see.<br />
<br />
So that's it until next week.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-51788655293527993232011-07-17T12:35:00.000-07:002011-07-17T12:35:31.910-07:00Horse Archers - a painting guideSo another week has gone by and I've finally managed to have a couple of games with the newly minted Tomb Kings. Unfortunately, both games did not go entirely (or even partially) my way.<br />
<br />
The first game was against a high elf army that consisted of two bolt throwers and a big block of Seaguard with a wizard and battle standard. I had a big block of skeles, 3 chariots, a casket of souls, 3 Necro-knights, a Tomb Prince and Heirophant. Basically I died crossing the table and ended up with very little by the time I reached him. Magic didn't really work and flame spells are not my friend.<br />
<br />
I then played Kelly's skaven, and although I faired somewhat better in the kill stakes I still ended up with just the Tomb Prince and heirophant by the end. <br />
<br />
Looks like more practice is needed.<br />
<br />
Anyway, down to the painting. <br />
Firstly the horse archers - as in the post title.<br />
As mentioned earlier I said I would do a step by step guide as to what I did, so here goes.<br />
<br />
Step one - the horses: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_78BH9Aj9UXcf2yxKHGoFfmIFEbIScnryV2-ewRe06OyzX2KEIn8hlPmsGwneluV5AonPvggKzlqOYxqVrkhaIRfgxx0PN6HBK4cCEssltdtsobJ9gSd_bl0Cur5bReh598MLMx_zvtI/s1600/tomb+kings+014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_78BH9Aj9UXcf2yxKHGoFfmIFEbIScnryV2-ewRe06OyzX2KEIn8hlPmsGwneluV5AonPvggKzlqOYxqVrkhaIRfgxx0PN6HBK4cCEssltdtsobJ9gSd_bl0Cur5bReh598MLMx_zvtI/s320/tomb+kings+014.jpg" /></a></div>I painted the inside of the ribs while the parts were on the sprus as once together this would be difficult to get at.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX2kSkYPNv16PIow-Ggwl8b-z4nAnfB-hMuv9BN6ZEvD27B_a4_lDS96LmwHLJr1uzCGnGRpffiPb4u5S4wCJ8EpTr_xozZ0b-xRehBP1PmtMScM6im7VWySR6lY2o1NZ88BPBQXCgbRM/s1600/tomb+kings+016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX2kSkYPNv16PIow-Ggwl8b-z4nAnfB-hMuv9BN6ZEvD27B_a4_lDS96LmwHLJr1uzCGnGRpffiPb4u5S4wCJ8EpTr_xozZ0b-xRehBP1PmtMScM6im7VWySR6lY2o1NZ88BPBQXCgbRM/s320/tomb+kings+016.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I snipped off all the horse pieces and then used a knife and file to remove the mold lines. Once done I glued the two parts of the horse together and painted everything scorched brown.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXf7rWF17BQKCW1kePxHnHti4WwTpS97yDLEP1KJf-2HEyqhRR3SumZxgFh7CEeD0L3EZj_Gz8AucjXCr0zZMaZS8cI6SgZKiAi7DjYPPuFS87TFylSmWJPT0cY-oxYx_-JG-b5PWRvyY/s1600/tomb+kings+017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXf7rWF17BQKCW1kePxHnHti4WwTpS97yDLEP1KJf-2HEyqhRR3SumZxgFh7CEeD0L3EZj_Gz8AucjXCr0zZMaZS8cI6SgZKiAi7DjYPPuFS87TFylSmWJPT0cY-oxYx_-JG-b5PWRvyY/s320/tomb+kings+017.jpg" /></a></div>Next I used a heavy dry brush of bleach bone over each entire model. I was reasonably careful so as not to go into the crevises but as this is the first coat I'm not trying to completely hide the brown underneath on the ereas I dry brushed. Once this is dry, which is once I've done all the horses, I put a second coat of slightly thinned down bleached bone, but this time I am very careful to mainly stick to the raised areas. This gives good coverage and means the brown is not bleeding through the bone. Here's a closer image:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxBlQJMz0qHX7IJCau6a3AmDwdhWCVGFSvAR1_B_0DjVAF307j4P2R3paHN4Tba9THguGvoZWR-2x8vu5bRt9udIhVQWWATF7mASEN6GWuk8vCL5QwPzlgsMPqM81kJuE9YSw7xWCPoYQ/s1600/tomb+kings+018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxBlQJMz0qHX7IJCau6a3AmDwdhWCVGFSvAR1_B_0DjVAF307j4P2R3paHN4Tba9THguGvoZWR-2x8vu5bRt9udIhVQWWATF7mASEN6GWuk8vCL5QwPzlgsMPqM81kJuE9YSw7xWCPoYQ/s320/tomb+kings+018.jpg" /></a></div><br />
The hooves have been painted black and that is just about it for the horses.<br />
<br />
So next are the bases. As I'm matching the bases throughout all the army I repeated what I did for the other skeles. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg64pKHuFERdlPFr3MbXOAjLClK7Y8nNwcrGK29bJ-pDLVtyaeGhBavWzFCJPDt3NVrt0A-DuTUWl4kVDModOUdcLXz3xSkHUjUcO7U5xj3vjC4291ex0UMgsw41PDx52mWK-QujcnwyEk/s1600/tomb+kings+019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg64pKHuFERdlPFr3MbXOAjLClK7Y8nNwcrGK29bJ-pDLVtyaeGhBavWzFCJPDt3NVrt0A-DuTUWl4kVDModOUdcLXz3xSkHUjUcO7U5xj3vjC4291ex0UMgsw41PDx52mWK-QujcnwyEk/s320/tomb+kings+019.jpg" /></a></div>So I painted some thin card in a variety of sandy colours - yellows, reds, browns - and once dry, cut the card into squares and rectangles.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwBTsPXcHMYj_uthnV8FwbtSuJvR-ew9U5n6P5oL973kMJVvZh6RBPKp2qIDWSSS4vgGDNKwsKGTNs2ztUUHinx9bUIy7OKKg4uZQeU2nxcBLmX9dY3t4Y2kDrcl49fM-TAZfPpBfJy14/s1600/tomb+kings+020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwBTsPXcHMYj_uthnV8FwbtSuJvR-ew9U5n6P5oL973kMJVvZh6RBPKp2qIDWSSS4vgGDNKwsKGTNs2ztUUHinx9bUIy7OKKg4uZQeU2nxcBLmX9dY3t4Y2kDrcl49fM-TAZfPpBfJy14/s320/tomb+kings+020.jpg" /></a></div>Next, I glued the pieces of card to the bases. I did a number of bases all at once, the cavalry and the necro-knights, as its easier that way. When gluing down I was not too worried about gaps as I was going to use sand to fill these in and simulate the desert sands reclaiming the lost Nehekaran city.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimYGMDyiNRnaryL9LB73v1WBVI-NIYqc8z2T_i5GCHU_x3QTDSUgQd9M-dMMcWxwYbMbaWMB2HCAxoRK7Kr-X5iFidc9bpnCmUWsegSymEsTZl8ZJ9SV5ywxuMfIR7OfRA46VEKmGZpMQ/s1600/tomb+kings+022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimYGMDyiNRnaryL9LB73v1WBVI-NIYqc8z2T_i5GCHU_x3QTDSUgQd9M-dMMcWxwYbMbaWMB2HCAxoRK7Kr-X5iFidc9bpnCmUWsegSymEsTZl8ZJ9SV5ywxuMfIR7OfRA46VEKmGZpMQ/s320/tomb+kings+022.jpg" /></a></div>Once the bases were fully dry I used a craft knife and steel ruler to cut the card to the edge of the bases. This required a few sweeps of the blade and firm pressure on the ruler to make sure it didn't slip.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwowGlO9_yD-ol5ctudQt2JK0WqPA9onXhXUjq_LTGg6GfxvqHUNPEGcxtXyeV3NnC45ZzUyZ90Qge_ro5czBDZNsmsgXNwW8sRfV17jR8oJanWuo9ep_pD4nOZ0mfAq9goKAcGDNfj7c/s1600/tomb+kings+024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwowGlO9_yD-ol5ctudQt2JK0WqPA9onXhXUjq_LTGg6GfxvqHUNPEGcxtXyeV3NnC45ZzUyZ90Qge_ro5czBDZNsmsgXNwW8sRfV17jR8oJanWuo9ep_pD4nOZ0mfAq9goKAcGDNfj7c/s320/tomb+kings+024.jpg" /></a></div>I now added sand by dabbing PVA on the bases in the patterns I wanted and making sure it covered any mistakes I'd made and then pushing the stand onto the glue. Shake off the excess and then use a big brush (I used a No 5) to dab water onto the sand. This mixes with the PVA and glues the sand down more thorougly. Once dry the sand is painted bubonic brown and then highlighted with a mix of bubonic brown and bleached bone. I then added grass tufts I got from the Gale Force Nine range to add a bit of detail by showing desert grasses forcing their way through the cracks in the pavement.<br />
I painted the base edges in dark green and that was the bases finished.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrCSSTm3oX01IfExS5ZIrMDNvs0uouQ3nMhkPFsSL6UqyrC6XKJ1Z9u1m09ixdj2pi9HXDJTVXsymTHYNjKSsk1NS25OuWXybkUpPGkK_nyXeyz8FEq-NCvZUc2pRzS2V3Q52h2ZcOskY/s1600/tomb+kings+030.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrCSSTm3oX01IfExS5ZIrMDNvs0uouQ3nMhkPFsSL6UqyrC6XKJ1Z9u1m09ixdj2pi9HXDJTVXsymTHYNjKSsk1NS25OuWXybkUpPGkK_nyXeyz8FEq-NCvZUc2pRzS2V3Q52h2ZcOskY/s320/tomb+kings+030.jpg" /></a></div>So with the horses and bases done I turned my attention to the riders. Firstly I repeated the bone painting technique detailed earlier over all the parts of the archer. I then painted all gold areas with dwarf bronze. The bows were then painted scorched brown and the horn ends, bleach bone. The head dresses were painted bestial brown so that they all matched, and the headbands different colours to not match and add a bit of individuality. The bow cases were then painted ice blue with bleached bone tops and bottoms, bubonic brown arrow shafts, and white fletching. Next I washed the bow cases with devlan mud and all the metal, bows and straps with Windsor and Newton brown ink. I've found the ink is exelent on crevices but does add a sheen. However, this was the look I was after.<br />
Now the bow cases were carefully painted with thin layers of ice blue, bleached bone and devlan mud to give a worn appearence. This was done by drawing the brush down or up and trial and error until I got the look I was looking for. Shining gold was used to highlight gold areas.<br />
Once this was done the horses were glued to the bases and then the riders were glued together and checked to make sure they could rank up.<br />
<br />
And there you have it.<br />
<br />
<br />
So now onto progress for this week. Well I finished the horse archers, as you can see above. I also painted and finished the foot archers: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBkpPb65fH9Hrz9C_lBYaCfqN4lTlzPcapZqS2p8iGFL8-9DcaMu2cKJEbb614LR0GCCdew3zYsS9uKYVsyb55NvX6JU-mMbI3RTmk2RxOQ89LxLdTKlBGg2PMYtgHY464dFLiQNZ0riE/s1600/tomb+kings+028.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBkpPb65fH9Hrz9C_lBYaCfqN4lTlzPcapZqS2p8iGFL8-9DcaMu2cKJEbb614LR0GCCdew3zYsS9uKYVsyb55NvX6JU-mMbI3RTmk2RxOQ89LxLdTKlBGg2PMYtgHY464dFLiQNZ0riE/s320/tomb+kings+028.jpg" /></a></div><br />
And a really old screaming skull catapult I found:<br />

<br />
So that's it for this week and maybe for this month on the Tomb Kings. I've put the necro-knights together but may leave the painting until next month. I've recently received some DnD figures that I'm itching to have a go at and will post once they are done.<br />
<br />
In the meatime here's a few pictures of what is done with the Tomb Kings so far all together:<br />

I'll want to add to this but at the moment I only had eight models. Turning two of them into four: <br />

So that just leaves the eight horse archers as my challenge for this month. As I said earlier, I'm going to go through each step as I paint these figures from start to finish but I'll leave that for another post when I've completed them. So far the horses and bases are done and the riders are in bits as I clean them up.<br />
<br />
I also finished the chariots but haven't taken a picture of that. What I will do is when the horse archers are done I'll take a group shot of all the units complete so far.<br />
<br />
So that's it for this week. Some of the x gamers are going to start playing with the figures done so far and maybe one or two that aren't, to start to get a feel for how they will work. The points limit has been set at 1200, so I'll have to add a couple of things as well as the stuff I've already done.<br />
<br />
I'll put a post up after the game of how they did.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740097302566580590.post-82071343954136233162011-07-04T11:54:00.000-07:002011-07-04T11:54:53.101-07:00July's ChallengeAfter a successful month of goal reaching and back slapping its time to pick up the brush for this month's challenge. Initially I was looking at completing one full unit a month but am revising that for July as I will have finished that challenge before this week is out.<br />
<br />
After completing the first big block of skeles I thought I'd complete the chariot unit, consisting of three chariots with full command.... which I've just about done. Queue pictures: <br />

You'll see that they are mostly finished. I've got to add the standard and some bow and spear cases and they will be done.<br />
<br />
I also painted my first character. It's fairly straight forward. I kept the basing the same to help cement the units together<br />
Take a look: <br />

So that's where I am to date, which leaves me with what to do for this month.<br />
<br />
Well, as well as completing the chariot unit I'm also planning on finishing all the other models in the batallion box set I bought which will be 8 skeletons and 8 horse archers. As 8 skeletons are not a unit and the idea is to complete units I'm going to take a note out of cheaphammer's book and turn 8 into 10.<br />
<br />
So that's it until next weekend where I'll give an update on my progress.Craig Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066056627375964450noreply@blogger.com3
