10mm Catch Up

This one is some Orcs and Trolls for Warmaster,

I've got a lot more 10mm to show but I've still got another 4 units of cavalry to build and a further 3 infantry to paint up for my Crusaders/Bretonians. Then it'll be onto the Arabs/Araby.

Burrows and Badgers Catch Up

Burrows and Badgers, the ones I picked up at Vapnartak York this year, had to get them done before the next Kickstarter gets delivered. (expected July)

Tiny featherd lunatic at the front to join the Hillfolk, a couple of amphibians for the old ones, and the Mole and Marmot Mercenaries. 

Sci-Fi Catch Up

Next is the Sci-Fi models, some 6mm in this case, Space Wolf Terminators that have been sat for all too long.  

Now that I have some other Marine armies up to scratch, it's time for these guys to get done and try it as the Space Wolf list rather than as Space Marines. All the models were based so they could be magnetised, I need to sort out a list and pick up some alternative Predators as I'll probably use these ones as Razorback, and of course add basing materials.

Another one from a box that's been getting based up properly, Imperial Guard this time, these were the only ones that needed to be painted, but the full box has now been based.

Fantasy Catch up

Trying to catch up on some of the stuff I've done but not posted. 

First up some 28mm Fantasy models, Owlbears from IronGate Scenery I got from Carronade 23.

A figure from an old Werewolf Kickstarter, (can't remember the name of it, but remember the bad way it went for the creators, a first time for them.) 

He's being used as a pit fighter in our current Mordheim campaign.

Baron Grimjaws City Guard

The last of the models from the last kickstarter (the City Guard) were finished earlier this month and here they are, Baron Grimjaws esteemed/feared/laughable red capes. 

I officially have no more B&B models to paint, so the next kickstarter is allowed to happen now, or I go about starting to fill in the gaps from the 30% of the range that I'm missing.

The Blue Army

So the mighty 'Blue army' is done, or I should say was done, finished them up a while ago, just never got round to taking pics and posting because work was all over the place. 

Either way that's 2 full forces for Pikemans Lament done and I've been motoring through the additional bits with 3 bases of Cannon, a unit of Pike done and a unit of Trotters about to be based, which leaves the Dragoons and some bits I need to buy sometime for scenarios, Cattle to rustle, Wagon train to raid etc.

Epic Dark Angels

Dark Angels for Epic, the last of the Epic armies I had sitting around after I'd sorted everything out, still needs a bunch of extra bits added and tidying up to base vehicles etc and decisions to be made around things like the speeders/bikes. But here's the vanguard infantry and terminators painted up, with some quickly done rhinos to stand in until I've figured out what else I want to finish them off.

I've got to say I'm not keen on that bottle of express colour I've used for the green, you can see it especially on the rhinos it's really patchy. But it was one of two bottles that I had an issue with when I was opening them.

Extra Burrows and Badgers miniatures

So the extra models I got when I ordered the Dillendorf agreement are now finished, I always hate how the flaws really pop out when you get a picture, but you can't see them on the tabletop.

Just got the city watch to do now.  I was checking against the catalogue and I'm only missing about a 3rd of the entire catalogue, I have a feeling that may get rectified eventually, not all at once as it's still about  60 models. 

Did run out of white paint though, Carronade is close enough though that I can probably last until then and pick up more express colours on pre order and see what else is missing to find on the day. Might just have to get those Midlam wizards finished off (Finally!).

Magglet Squats

So finally I got round to trying out the Vallejo express colours I picked up in York. I only picked up 3 red, yellow and green specifically for painting my Magglet squats in that ancient colour scheme.

So I've made up a Killteam of Veteran Guardsmen, or thereabouts, weapon choices were limited for special weapons so I've used one of the heavy weapons, and the two plasma guns done in different styles to use for gunners. Sniper, Sergeant with plasma pistol and power weapon (fist), Bruiser with the chainsword, Medic, demolitions and Comms just have backpacks attached, bolter, cyber arm for a second, and some pistols and a straight up lasgun to make up the rest of the numbers.

I did a  grey undercoat and then drybrushed up to white instead of the recommended zenithol spray painting/airbrushing that was in the video I watched. everything else was base colour and inks/washes. 

Then the obligatory comparison shot of some of my other squats, originals, Hasslefree Grymm and the newer magglets.

Then a couple with some Imperial guard and old school marines. I never realised how big Chenkov was in comparison to the original Marines.

Next up, the last unit to finish off the 2nd army for Pikemans Lament, which will leave just spare units to switch in and out and the last of my current batch of Burrows and Badgers, City Watch and some extra's I picked up.

Squeaky Blinders

The next batch of the last kickstarter, the street gang. 

Just got some additional and the Town Guard to get done now.

Sisters of Eternal Mercy

From Raging Heroes, the sisters of battle like option, a Full squad of Examplars and a half squad of Davidians which is enough for a bit of variety in a kill team force.

All resin, but so very flimsy feeling with a lot of flex still. The detail is fantastic but well beyond my painting skills to do justice so I'm not sure if I'd actually get any more in the future.

Pikemans Lament Finished Army

 The red army is finished, the blue is half done.

Burrows and Badgers, Townsfolk

Onto the last kickstarter finally, these are the townsfolk of the New Castle. Looks like I forgot to put the Marmot butcher into the picture, but the rest are there, with the Town Guard, and the Squeaky Blinders still to be done.

I've still got those Midlam wizards to finish off (How many months/years is that now?) But I've got some Sisters of Battle from Raging Heroes on the desk just now alongside more of the 10mm Pikemans Lament, (onto the second army now)

Ragnarok Dwarves

Quite a departure I've not done any medieval/viking age type stuff for a while. So these Dwarves from Ragnarök (Colin Patton) were quite good for that, I picked up one of the skirmish sets alongside a character pack.

Burrows and Badgers

This batch is the last of the models from the 2nd to last kickstarter, Dark, Devout and Heroic as well as the couple of additional miniatures I got about the same time.

Puffin Pirate, Beaver Deacon, and a Badger Ranger.

I think I may have had Von Wodr in a previous grouping, but here is alongside the Fox and Hare Knights.

Grub handlers to join the devout witch hunters.

The remainder, mouseketeer, and knights, Mole warrior, Rabbit Guard, and cat piper for the highland clans.

Epic Inquisition and catching up

So it's been many months since I last updated this, not because I haven't done anything, more that I just haven't gotten round to taking pictures of what I've done. So over the next few days I'll rectify that. 

So up first the extra vehicles I did to finish off my Epic scale Inquisition force. This consists of civilian vehicles for the militia/crusade troops.  I've also got some Super heavy tanks, Leviathon, and a Capitol Imperialis that stand in for Emperor's Chapels, Cathedral of Purification and Black Cathedral.

Next up as no surprise to anyone will be some more Burrows and Badgers.

Witchhunters

More B&B it's taken a while to get these done. Long Covid really sucks, energy and focus levels just haven't been there to keep concentration long enough. Either way from the last kickstarter, here are some Witchhunters. 

I have no idea what will get done next, I've still got a bunch of Midlam wizards on the desk that have been there for months, same as the next Pikemans Lament unit, but I have some 6mm Epic vehicles to do as well and they're fairly easy so it might be them.

More Burrows and Badgers

The latest batch, some of the extra's I got the last time. Still got the rest of the last kickstarter to go so cracking on with that and some more 10mm Pikemans Lament.

Amberian Hussars

So a while ago I backed a kickstarter from Heresylabs, they were doing warband deals and I picked up the Amberian Dawn, basically Kislevites for Mordheim in any other name. It took a bit to get round to doing them but here they are. 

The full warband.

The Hussars, like most of their warbands, there's realistically too many heroes for something like Mordheim, (and in way too heavy armour for Mordheim)

One of the lighter armed heroes and a youngblood.

The other lighter armed hero and a blurry youngblood behind and left.

Streltsi, armed with handgun and halbard or combinations of.

Archers.

Bear tamer and Wojtek the bear. If you don't know about Wojtek the soldier bear, google it.  He was adopted by the poles during WW2, he took part at Mount cassino in Italy I think and retired to Edinburgh Zoo when the Polish he was with came back to Scotland.

The Deathly Darkly Necromancer

The mantra, I will get them finished and photographed by the end of the year! 

 

So Presenting the Dark from the last kickstarter, (The Dark, The Devout and the Heroic) These were the easiest to paint, though just took a while due to all of the waiting on all of the full miniature bits drying.

This lovely little band of mist ghasts and revenants is led by the dastardly albino ratnomancer and his dark assistant. We've not tried the rules out for them yet in our games of Burrows and Badgers as we've started onto the Warren Percy Affair so it'll be a while before that happens.

Next on the desk is the start of my Amberian Hussars, otherwise known as a Kislevite Warband for Mordheim from Heresylabs. Once I've got a bit of space cleared I'll probably add a couple of random mini's from the pile in for some variety.
