Buildings for Skirmish Sangin

I spent some time sorting out my next step for my escalation campaign list today. I also spent about 20 minutes reading rules, because Gdubs can't be bothered to properly write rules clearly in full for something simple in one place.

It doesn't help that I've spent about 8 months either playing kill teams most of the time, working on a different army, or painting/modeling. It's been a looong freaking time since I ran zoans in anything other than a unit of one.

And now I need to talk to the people who wrote the rules for our campaign at our local store, since that will affect how I split up my psykers...YAY!

Finishing my Blood Witches today.

Looks good

I've just undercoated my Ortegas for Malifaux, and will hopefully start painting them once I get back from my morning workout. I really should get on with my Deadzone Enforcers too, but Malifaux models are just so much more fun to paint!

-Ben

Base coated Kaladrax the big and bony draconic badass.

Need more bone colored paint now....

Almost finished the undead giant from bones 1 also ...

Today I am testing out another Eldar Kill Team at my local gaming club. Then later hoping to get a little modelling done on the avatar I am working on.

I bought Star Wars Imperial Assault...

Lol that image always makes me laugh...and its too true!

Let us know how it plays!


I'm determined to crush the February portion of my year-long painting challenge today, got 14 models queued up and I'm looking to get 'em done. Only need 7 or so to finish the month so I'm looking to get ahead this time.

Today I'll be digging out my KTS models for Infinity, in the hopes of assembling them at work tomorrow.

Yay market holidays!

Oooh, post pictures when you finish them, I love Kaplans!

Been making some 15mm terrain to represent northern France circa 1942, and discovering how much terrain you have to make to cover a 6x4 tabletop in solid terrain!

Putting together some of the 4Ground WW2 buildings which are absolutely lovely.

Always thought that game looks interesting, have you had a chance to play any games yet?

Painted an Imperial Fist Veteran Sergeant (Anvil Industry model), and I'm rather happy with the result. He ain't clean and he ain't pretty, but yellow looks so much better when you turn the weathering up to 11! Also did more than usual with his base, which has come out rather nicely.

Pics tomorrow!

26 decks of cards. 26. Decks. Of. Cards.

They're the wrong sizes for my card sleeves too, which is rather odd to be honest.

Painting dire wolves

Not fully decaling my imperial knight because im missing 1 of 2 decal sheets :(

Also micro sol and set are awesome.

Assembling some Elfdar Jetbikes I picked up for a good price at a con today. Oh how the fondue is accumulating.

Gonna seal enough models to thoroughly crush my February goal, and then maybe get started on preemptively defeating the quota for March



Probably gonna do something bad and order the Neoterra Capatiline Defense Force Infinity starter box too...

I don't even play Pan-O and I considered it. Is that bad?

Dooooo IT! You know you want to!

Oh I did.... I don't really *play* much of anything, but at least I do have some other PanO buddies for them.

Had a little money laying around from a recent birthday so it was too hard not to.

Painting up a Khador army based around the Old Witch. She's put together a small group and is on the verge of getting in on some extra jacks I've had found in a shoebox.

Painting up a Pirate crew based around Cpt Morgan. Yarrr...

Painting up a Demon Prince plague guy for Nurgle, and his pet chaos spawn.

Then on to the next batch. I have some time, but not much in between the school stuff and work, and ...other stuff...

Question- DO those Star Wars armymen fit in with the FFG miniatures box set?

Trimming down space wolf shoulder pads to a functional size and magnetising some combi-weapons to sling onto my wolf gaurds' backs.

If you mean the single-pose-single-colour Star Wars Command toys, then I'm afraid not. However, they do paint up rather nicely, if you just want to paint some Star Wars stuff (the ships especially are rather nice models, all things told). Here's a scale shot with 28mm minis.




I do also have a ruleset written up for using them in a proper wargame, which I can PM you if you're interested.

I'll be working on a pair of Wave Serpents as my 250 point addition for an escalation league I am in.

I'm going to be painting moar Cities of Death terrain.

Don't get me wrong, the Rohirrim are great minis, and they can look amazing in the hands of a skilled painter. But something about them (not sure what) doesn't lend it to my 'wash-heavy tabletop standard' type of painting. Could be the large flat areas that cause pooling unless I'm very careful, or the fact that they are less uniform than, say, Uruks or Gondorians.

And I am actually cheating and using plastic Archers painted different as Outriders, as for the same points the Outriders are just straight up better, so the Archers would never see any use!

I do know what you mean about the large areas that can cause difficulties with washes.

And... I have mixed in Mounted Archers with my "Outriders" (as I have multiply based figures, to be used with a different set of rules, for the most part).

But I would be doing the same thing for the SBG. Outriders are just too expensive now.

And I am working on detailing the bodies for my sculpts of the Archers for my Goblins.

They will still need clothing/armor when I am done, but the six body base-meshes will be done.

And... Painting four more Orcs/Great Goblins.

I'm also going to get some O-scale tracks for my Cities of Death project. I want to mount them on a base with gravel, tuffs n stuff and have it be an adjustable terrain feature.

The 10 Blood Witches plus attachment are done.
Let's see. Bane Riders will come next.

Just priming for me today I think.

Work continues apace on the Imperial Fists, got another done earlier and a third is nearing completion. I've surprised myself by actually getting quite into basing these guys, moreso than just adding gravel and painting it. No idea how long the inspiration will last, but as is, I'm finding it quite interesting. Kind of wishing I had 32mm bases for these guys, but it would cost a bit much to do the lot.
