Glorantha Miniatures for Midgard

 I've been painting a number of units for gaming in 6mm using the Midgard rules and set in Glorantha.

These are all Rapier miniatures who until recently had a licence for Glorantha miniatures - the figures are still available, just with more generic names.

Some Trolls, a mix of Dark and Great trolls. These wear more red, because they worship Zorak Zoran

Tusk Riders in a loose skirmish formation. These aren't released yet, Paul at Rapier sent them over to James when he heard we were planning a game at Joy of Six.

Broo in a horde, again not yet released.

Bison Riders, iconic Runequest Praxian troops.

And some Rhino riders too.

Trollkin slingers, tiny wee things that are hard to photograph.

And some Trollking spearmen - reluctant and brittle in Midgard games.

Argrath the White Bull, leader of the Praxian nomads in our Liberation of Pavis game.

A Broo command stand.

And a Troll one too.

Spirit Bison - we used the Summoning spell to represent Argrath calling up the ancestral spirits of the tribe.

More Trolls - level headed Kigor Litor followers.

Broo skirmishers

Some horsemen on the Orlanth side, maybe Pol Joni or Grazelanders.

More Broo

Fun things to paint up. Hard to take pictures and some of them reveal the problem with basing models this size - it's tricky not to get the basing on the figure!

There will be a report of the games at the Joy of Six show along shortly.

40K Orks v Templars

 Tha gaming heir is home from University and as is his wont requested a game of 40K. I have so many models for so many better sets of rules it seems a shame, but it's what he enjoys so...

He took the Templars and I took the Orks. We had some objectives to grab.

Da Ladz assembled

I took the KilloZap gun even though it is bobbins

You get a lorra, lorra Orks for 1,000 points

Klankenstein made his regular appearance

The Templars had their own Dreadnaught

And some Terminators

The Marines pushed up

While Da Boys hugged the terrain.

A sneaky rhino pushed around one flank.

The Lootas were doing a reasonable job of picking off Marines.

The Nobs got stuck in

And handed it our good and proper

An almighty scrum developed in the middle

There wasn't enough room for all the Ladz to get stuck in.

Klankenstien and the Klankettes ambushed the Rhino

Marines and a Chaplain dropped in from nowhere

The Marine Dread waded toward the fight

The Orky Walkies couldn't peel open the Rhino

The Nobs butchered the rest of the Marine squad

The Marine Dreadnaught found himself assailed.

The Chaplain realised he may have bitten off more than he could chew.

The Emperor's Champion climbed out of the Rhino and did unspeakable harm to Klankenstein

The Chaplain failed to get his guys to charge home.

"Punch him wiv da KLaw, Boss!"

"'Ere we go, 'ere we go..."

Eventually the Warboss found a weakness and inserted his fist.

With the death of the Dread game time was up and the Orks had a solid win.

I still think 40K is not a very good game, but it's fun to play soldiers with the laddo

Warmaster Black Knights

 Another unit for the Vampire Counts army

I realise now that with both the units so far I've actually combined two different sets - some modelled on the Blood Knights and some more traditional skeletal types. That's fine the previous shown set was the same.

I think I have another two units of these two paint.

But then I hit a problem as the Forest Dragon licence has ended so no-one can print these for sale any more.
