Skeletons

Six of the seven skeletons from one of the new Games Workshop games - Warhammer Underworlds I think? Though these ones appear to be no longer available...

They were gifted to me by General Ballroom - I think in an attempt to get me interested in playing. We tried a couple of games and it was OK, but I'm not really that interested in the skirmish/boardgame crossover or anything especially Age of Sigmar related. So they languished.

I was tempted to paint them for Frostgrave, but the thick GW bases put me off as they wouldn't match the rest of the collection - but then I thought they might make ideal adversaries for a Sellswords and Spellslingers scenario. Some sort of barrow raiding activity - perhaps leading to the wrath of a Necromancer or something.

They are gorgeous models, went together beautifully and really push the limits of plastic sculpting tech.

Now, I just need to actually *write* the scenario.

RGD Plastic Fauns

 Some more quick and dirty Contrast painted Fauns for games of Of Gods and Mortals

Six more to go and the box will be empty.

Apart from the shields I need to add. And the centaurs, which I can't face.

Wargames Atlantic Pathans

The last of the box of Wargames Atlantic Afghans. Twelve more with firearms for games of The Men Who Would Be Kings.

Again mostly done with contrast paints and washes. A few more in darker colours than the last lot. There are more of the crouching figure in this group as I didn't want to use them for the more animated, charging Ghazis. I'll actually mix these in with the other unit with guns so it won't be quite so obvious.

One box gave 2x12 rifles and 1x16 with swords and shields - ideal for TMWWBK.

I've got the Perry set now, which are nicer figures, so I'll be cracking on with those in the New Year.

Perry War of the Roses Billmen

 To complement the archers from last month here's 12 billmen.

12 more archers are now on the painting desk.

Happy Christmas

Seasons greetings  to one and all.

I hope you have a good day however you celebrate and with whomever you are able to meet.

Hades for Of Gods and Mortals

 Another of the very jolly SHQ Miniatures Greek gods for use in games of Of Gods and Mortals.

Hades on his throne.

Just the fellow to lead my skeletons and shades to war.

Need a big old three headed dog now...

Ogre Kingdoms Giant

 Lockdown success - built and painted this big fella.

He had only been in the plastic heap for about fifteen years or so...

The lighting has left him a little washed out...

I built this as the Ogre Slave Giant version. I've already made the "Chaos" version and have another one to make as an Orc and Goblin one.

Contrast paint for the flesh - quick but I'm not sure it quite works at this scale. Face is good - the big bits of body are a bit blotchy.

There's plenty of blue and yellow (broken wheel, shield on his right army, bits of trouser) all there as trophies for when he goes in to action against Stephen's Nordland army.

Overall pretty happy with him.
