Blurry barbarian

and some Massive Darkness Chaos Dwarves

Saw those last guys and thought you had gone in to mass production of Yosemite Sam!!

Great work bud, nice to see you back.

Cheers Camkierhi my Chaos forces generally act more like looney tunes villains than cold brooding elites when I role the dice I'm afraid.

Pair of Gnolls for your entertainment. Also delightedto say Warlords of Erewhon is attracting interest at the club so Ill be getting some games in.

I haven’t heard any mire on Warlords of nowhere recently (can’t not make fun of the name as it’s so blatant), but how are the mechanics? I have Antares, but is it just a reskin or did they fix problems within the system?

Hard to say as I don't play Antares. The mechanics will have issues I'm sure but they give quick brutal combat. Mechanically it's very simple but I'm sure complexities will come to light. It's certainly a good solid game but I need to play against more people whove read the rulebook before I can really discuss mechanics. They've certainly been tweaked to give far more unit variety than Bolt Action as it should be.

Just going to D10 makes for more variety to bolt action. I’ll have to add it to my want list. I’m just a little worried that this will be another warlord games pump and dump.

Meh theres enough content in the book with about a dozen or so index lists there that frankly it won't need long term support. I hope it gets it but the right kind. Fantasy kitchen sink and more variety added rather than knuckling down on an original setting. Excellent fluff pieces in the book however.

A mutant and a barbarian for your pleasure

Some Massive Darkness models for you today


Happy with the Formorian less so with the Barbarians

More Massive Darkness stuff

Troglodyte Shaman

Nightmare Thing

and an actual GW model

Converted to a Frostgrave Foulhorn

Wonderful catch up, great stuff, so much win.

Cheers Cam less exciting than the last batch just some Chaos Dwarves from Massive Darkness.

Love the beard on those dwarves , great color, what did you use to bring those about?

Cheers Theophony just Vallejo Tan Yellow with Brown ink above it.

Been a while since I've posted but I've been painting.
We'll start with a pair of Frostgrave barbarians.

Simple generic and plenty of uses.

This Frosgrave Gnoll also fits.

This Ral Partha Gnoll converted into a Shaman is a bit more specific.


This Pigman champion is an excellent Midlam miniatures model really seems like a hero.


Finishing with a Heresy maggotman which I gave a disgusting look with PVA glue.

I've had other projects but this was my first blog on Dakka and never quite go's away. I'll keep on painting models which fit the theme in appropriate schemes which will mean the host will continue to expand. I've got my eye on a few of the fauns from Red Box Games to expand this force. This time it's Dwarves, a barbarian and a random bones critter.

Llamahead,

That last one is going to give me nightmares.

Cheers,

CB

Fantastic imagination on display here. Great stuff.

Oh man, that classic Ral Partha Gnoll brings back some memories...circa 1989. I seem to recall the set had an actual Shaman model in it.

Great work here. Do you get to play Frostgrave much? Or are these all for Massive Darkness? D&D?

Cheers Captain Brown and Camkierhi.

Fango I think I've got the Shaman possibly but the 2nd hand set I brought wasn't particularly complete. Can't complain it was from a charity shop with an amazing section of old citadel models in Oxford. Literally hundreds of classic models. I spent a lot there and hopefully will someday again. Currently this collection is just that a collection I'll play whatever fantasy games I can get with it. At the moment there is an FLGS near me which runs Frostgrave biweekly so I'm trying to get there but I'll happily use this collection in any game going. I've used it in Warhammer (it started out with the old Beasts of Chaos book and ran through from 7th to 8th possibly a bit of 6th as well), Kings of War, Open Combat, Warlords of Erewhon Zombicide & Frostgrave and would like to use it in Dragons Rampant as well. If I had to I'd use them in AoS but I genuinely consider either Dragons Rampant or Warlords of Erewhon superior games.I like it to be easy to remember what units do and universal special rules make that far simpler than unique unit special rules while still giving the same level of tactical complexity. I haven't actually played Massive Darkness yet.... The advantage of Fantasy is that its much easier to use a variety of models than it is in sci-fi an axe is an axe and a sword is a sword but sci-fi weapons are much more specific and need to be so to be fair to your opponent. Also I've brought models so I'll paint them I can work out a use afterwards. After that more models.

A Gnoll Trap Expert

A Loka Centaur

and from Massive Darkness Barbarians with the Agent

as well as the Cliffbreaker Cyclops

Yep I have him for any game I need a giant stone throwing Cyclops why limit myself to using him in only one?

I've also made these Chosen from the Sequitors contained in Mortal Realms first issue fairly simple conversion but they are certainly Chosen rather than Blight Kings as they don't have the yuck factor.

More stuff for the force mainly from Massive Darkness but some other stuff as well.
Massive Darkness Barbarians and Dwarf

Massive darkness High Troll

Reaper Beastman and Brigand

Heresy Miniatures Maggotman

Thog from Conan

Bunch of Chaos Dwarves ones from Chronopia and the rest are from Massive Darkness

Spiky stunties look good, but I'm really liking the previous post, Thog is great.

Been a while and cheers Monkeytroll.
More Chaos Dwarves from Massive Darkness to begin with.

Coming close to the end of these actually.
A Hogman and Maggotman (Midlam and Heresy)

Warriors from Reaper and Avatars of War

Frostgrave and Massive Darkness Barbarians

and finally Lord Tusk

Hated this model's huge impractical sword originally so I replaced it with tentacles and now he's a Chaos Ogre who I genuinely like.

Fantastic stuff, those chaos dwarves are great!

Cheers Mate
A Gnoll

A Massive Darkness Construct and some Chaos Dwarves


I've got the models for this project from Massive Darkness done but between Reaper, Cthulu Death May Die and Bloodborne I've got plenty of gribbly eldritch abominations which can join these guys. I'm also going to do a block of Stormcast Chosen and I've still got some old Chaos models to paint so expect this blog to continue pootling along for this year. While I'm currently planning on picking up some Frostgrave Daemons if I do that'll be for a new none Nurgle project.

Barbarian from Frostgrave

Reaper Swamp Troll

and finally the Hellephant

This is the model that sold me Massive Darkness. I'm also really happy with the paint job.

There's been a bit of talk on some plogs about finishing projects lately. Well this is a project I'm happy to say will never get finished. It's got to a playable level and is certainly not just unpainted but I'll be adding elements whenever I fancy. This is a good healthy place for a project to be. Equally I could argue that the army is finished while the collection isn't.

That could be a verbatim statement regarding my hobby philosophy. My Chaos Warriors aren't done, I just don't have anything new to paint for them. My Necromunda terrain could always stand another weathering wash, or a dial box, or a hanging cable. Nothing is every truly "done" unless I decide that it is. I was bothered by my unfinished projects for a few years until I accepted that truly nothing is ever actually done until I'm done, and by done I mean "estate sale". It's made my approach to hobby time a lot less stressful and judgemental.

So I've been checking my blogs to put up a review piece but what I said after the Gnoll cheftain pretty much somes it up I want to post more often next year but nothing rreally new will be added to this bunch. I've got Stormcast Chosen and Frostgrave Demons which may end up here when I feel like it but no big purchases are planned it'll just be a fun change of pace for when I feel like it.
