River or stream?

After playing a bit of 10mm Dark Ages recently I decided I needed a river.
mainly because most Dark Age battles feature rivers in some way shape or form. Probably because water features provided naturally boundaries between territories so were inevitably the place where armies clashed as expansionist Warlords came into conflict.

Anyway, a rummage round in the loft unearthed a resin river set I have a dim recollection of buying many moons ago for games of Warmaster.
these bits are actually the narrower pieces from the set, and may originally have been intended as a stream fro 28mm games.


 Sample layouts

 The full set




Some rough drybrushing and the liberal application of flock and shiny gloss varnish and I have something for my Dux Bellorum forces to paddle across.

Orctober (6)

Still Orktober and Idol of Gorktober geting most of the love.




I'll do the arrer boys later this week - but need to get Oddgit finished first...

NWF scenery

Three CDs covered with sand and glue and some quick drybrushing and tadah!NWF scenery.






The trees are based on 2p pieces and a couple of the bases have magnetic sheet glued in place so they sit reasonably securely, but can be removed to facilitate troop movement.

I realised as I started this that I have no real idea of what scenery on the North West Frontier of India/Pakistan/Afghanistan looks like.
However as I'm gaming in the fictional province of Ilkestaan these are exactly what the land looks like there.

Orctober (2)

Slapped a little paint on a couple of models last night.
Ironically nothing done for the actual Orcs for Orctober. Instead...

Idol of Gorktober



Some Necron Abyss highlights on the cothing and the face painted Knarlock, Goblin and then Goblin/Rotting Flesh. There's a lot of fiddly detail to get done on this model. Hmmm.

Orktober 



Foundry Wine Stain on the Squig, Mechrite ed on the Power Klaw and then Orkhide, Knarlock, Goblin on the flesh.

Some washes next I reckon
