Prydian Lances

So finally finished off the other lance (Platoon) for my Prydians, I've had them sitting around for a while, but with us trying out the Patrol Angis rules finally it became a thing to get them finished. 

Next for this I have a squad each of Khanate Legion and Maligs that I'd got for using in FireFight, but having read through the Khanate book I can use my Ikwen as Saurads and with the new Ikwen due to be released sometime this month, there will be more of them in the future maybe just not for a bit as the painting queue got dramatically bigger recently with the remainder of Stargrave, the last Burrows and Badgers kickstarter arriving and a bunch of Draugr as well.

Stargrave Crewfolk

So the reason this has taken so long is because I got about 40 resin bases which are all done, and here's the first 10 fitted up with models added, it's a mixture of Crew and Mercenaries which I got with 2 sprues of each after swaps.  I've gone for a grubby look with them as it's supposed to be an empire in ruins after a war. So muted colours and a dirty wash will do for now.  Once I've done some more to choose from including mainly a couple of Captain and first mate combinations I'll maybe come back and pick out some details to match.

I have a bunch of CP Models, some Psi knights from Ganesha games (via Alternative Armies) and a Hasslefree model that I need to do as well as the other 2 sprues at some point (some of which have been sitting around for a very long time).  I need to make a decision for the CP stuff whether to cut the slotta tabs off and glue them to the resin bases, I'll see how brave I'm feeling when I get there.

Achtung Cthulhu

So forgot about these ones, Achtung Cthulhu Black Suns, changed the armbands and epaulettes to a mustardy yellow colour to match my army of cultists (and because the normal red feels wrong) 

Got some Brits to do, Badgers Commandos and a couple of beasties as well which I'll get to eventually so I can use them in things like Stargrave or a more modern IHMN game.

Werewolves and Stargrave

So I backed a Kickstarter a long time ago for some werewolves, probably the worst experience I've had with a kickstarter but at the same time still better than some because they did actually arrive.  So it was really late arriving due to a variety of issues one of the main ones being that due to some of these issues delaying delivery and rising postal rates within the period of the delays meant that the creators hadn't gained enough money off the kickstarter to actually post everything. Something that some companies would be able to absorb, but not something for such a small company.

From 3d sculpting to miniature casting isn't the easiest and I think something I hope they'll learn from as even some of the more experienced sculptors I know have had to go back and adjust models because they wouldn't cast.  The assembly for some of the models was horrific mostly because the bits just didn't fit together correctly or there was huge gaps.  Anyways Here's the first 4 painted up. 


And finally here's a little bit of what else I've been working on. I have painted about 40 bases so far for Stargrave and made a start on some of the models (6 just need based, 10 assembled and undercoated, and 4 just undercoated) alongside a bunch of crates from 4Ground which are assembled but need the labels cut out and glued on. So there's lots almost there, but not close enough to photograph.

Epic Blood Angels

 It took a while, but I got them finished eventually. It's about 4,000pts of Blood Angels for Epic Armageddon. 

So these join the ranks of the Imperiam alongside my newly finished Inquisition/Ministorium force, Space Wolves and a lot of Imperial guard that really need to get tidied up properly.  That only leaves the Dark Angels to get finished off.

Some SciFi Adventurers

More Hasslefree, SciFi GID Alpha team for Rogue Stars and it's ilk.

And a more modern Bourne type spyfy from the last sale, hopefully I can pick up a few of the others at some point.


I'm almost thinking that I should go back to crappy lighting for my pictures so I can't see all the mistakes.

Burrows and Badgers

 Almost done, 5 more to go before the next kickstarter.

A couple more of the Hillfolk highlanders, shrew heroine and a Town Guardsmouse.
Last for this set is Kinlochshiels finest. Shinty or Burrowball as it might be called after testing.
