Some figures I've done recently for our Warhammer RPG gaming - these cover the most commonly encountered daemons. Not that any daemon is common and they're certainly not fun to confront. <br />
<br />
First up, Father Nurgle's favourite children. I just love these figures, the faces are so full of mirth. <br />
<br />

<br />
Blood, blood for the blood god etc etc. Kind of monotonous these Khorne Bloodletters. Gobs of blood added with a mix of red/public and then a large slathering of Tamiya Clear Red.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And last (and certainly not least) prancing accross the battlefield are these Daemonettes of Slaneesh. Blonde naturally as blondes have more fun. Like the Nurglings and the Bloodletters, their bases also have splashes of ... stuff, but it's pretty much impossible to see in the photo. <br />

Bestmen!!!It had been far too long since I showed my Beastmen some love, so I recently finished a couple of units for them and thought I'd do an army photo shoot. Problem - it's too big to fit on the table. Instead, a series of photos as the Nasty Bug tribe emerges from the forests of the Drakwald to prey upon the unsuspecting village of Bludhof.<br />
<br />
Centigors, Ungors and a Razorgor chariot...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Gargantua, some Chaos Warhounds and some Gors and Beastigors (the new units) in the background<br />

<br />
<br />
More Gors, a Chaos Spawn and the Warlord, Beast Shaman and Battlestandard bearer...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The axe comes from a Bloodthirster (I think) and is metal and makes it somewhat unstable.<br />
<br />
I'm reasonably pleased with the job I did on the hooves at least. <br />

<br />
High Elf cavalry comes in three flavours - The Elyrian Reavers (fast cavalry), The Silverhelms (normal cavalry) and The Dragon Princes (elite cavalry).<br />
<br />
Both the Reavers and the Dragon Princes have had new figures in the past 3 years and they're fantastic - albiet highly detailed and a PITA to paint. The Silverhelms date back to 1999 and are very ordinary. <br />
<br />
And so...<br />
<br />
The Elyrian Reavers<br />

Must be time for an updateYes update time. I kind of abandoned this blog for a bit as Blogger was being "difficult" in linking to pictures hosted at Photobucket.<br />
<br />
But it all seems to be working now, so time for some updates and with three months to catch up on, that means there's a few of them.<br />
<br />
First up, some Greenskins. I picked up a (very cheap) second hand copy of "Battle for Skull Pass" and some other second hand Orcs too. I'm not collecting an army of them, I've really only got them for use in our Warhammer RPG sessions.<br />
<br />
To start, here's Grumlock and his Gobbo shaman Gazbag. Came free with the Collectors Edition of Warhammer Online. A very heavy figure it is too.<br />

<br />
Perhaps that should that be Morr scenery. First I finished the Garden of Morr which is an excellent bit of kit although I have no idea how you're supposed to fight inside that area...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyhoos, here's what I've been up to lately. I won a set of home-made game boards on Trademe (NZ's version of e(vil)-bay) for NZ$50. Total bargain, especially as it also included a Fortified Manor, Arcane Ruins, the Citadel Woods and two sets of the the walls and fences which alone are about NZ$320. All I had to do was a 500km round trip (to Kerikeri) to pick them up, so two weekends ago I made the trip. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And here's what the boards I won looked like. Not too bad I suppose. Each of the six segments is about 60 x 80cm (2 foor x 3 foot).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

However green paint really doesn't agree with me for the plains of Nordland, so with the aid of a lot of brown acrylic paint, some beach sand and a lot of flock I've been turning them into this:<br />

I have just finished the fourth board which is enough to cover 90% of my dining table, so I won't be able to fit more on there but I will finish the rest of them off to give me some variety in terrain.ModernKiwihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931428734518973684noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582074557126983367.post-9804237696396962842012-02-28T20:46:00.001+13:002012-04-15T17:45:23.664+12:00The inevitable bodge upI spent the past couple of days putting together a second Doooooom Wheel for my Skaven. This thing was on track to look real good. I had a new recipe for wood that looks excellent, the metal would be rusty, the bronze stained, the works. Last night I finally glued on the first wheel <strong>in the only way you possibly can assemble it. </strong>And here is the result. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq305/GrumpyKiwi/DoomWheelFU011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="218" src="http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq305/GrumpyKiwi/DoomWheelFU011.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Upside down back to front rats in the wheels. I can't remove the wheels without damaging the whole unit and even if I could, I couldn't then remove and reset the rats without further damage. So instead it'll have to take to the battlefield as a monument to my "duh reading the instructions upside down" moment.ModernKiwihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931428734518973684noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582074557126983367.post-62212390085452991272012-02-17T22:51:00.000+13:002012-05-13T21:49:36.730+12:00High Elves - The Maiden GuardI recently picked up these off Trademe for a quite reasonable price (I've seen people asking for over US$100 for the full set of 10)! These are a WIP, but late in the piece. I need to tidy up the robes, finish off the spears and a couple of other niggling things.<br />
<br />
I do quite like the figures, but they are VERY small indeed, especially when placed besides other GW figures of a more recent make (eg Wood Elf way watchers).<br />

On a completely different topic, one of the reasons why I haven't been able to take many pictures recently to put on this blog has been the dire summer weather here.<br />
<br />
I took this pictures this afternoon to show just what it's been like.<br />

Thank you all very much, I am deeply honored.<br />
<br />
I haven't put anything new up on here for a while as the weather has been too crappy to take pictures. One of these days I really must acquire a lightbox. However, today the clouds vanished for long enough for me to take some pictures. They're all undead for the Dreadfleet based Warhammer RPG I've been GM-ing.<br />
<br />
First up we have some Skellington marines. I would just like to say that I really really really dislike these figures, they snap and break if you look at them crosseyed, even with the strongest glue.<br />
<br />

And next we have a trio of Crypt Horrors. These will count as the Ghoul King and his Leuftenants. I originally was going to paint them greenish like on the GW box art, but decided that flesh tones would look more ... disgusting.<br />

Quite an excellent piece of kit it is too, in stark contrast to the Witchfate Tor below. Pieces went together easily and whats more stayed together as well. <br />
<br />
I based it on a couple of leftover bits of movement tray which were covered with local beach sand and then painted/drybrushed/flocked. <br />

Such a cast iron bitch to assemble. I had to resort to pinning every single piece of wall to its neighbour twice (top and bottom) to make it sit together right. Still then end result is quite nice I think.<br />
<br />
Behold, the Witchfate Tor!!!<br />

I started to paint them back in January this year, and then it all became just too damn hard, so I put them to one side. Then in July, I bought another 10, also half started and then put aside. But FINALLY, they're (more or less) done! Huzzah! (More or less because I need to finish off the banner, but that's only an hour or so's work).<br />

And speaking of the sea and those that sail upon it, my next project might just have something to do with pieces of eight and parrots.ModernKiwihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931428734518973684noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582074557126983367.post-11577473791226221352011-11-03T12:06:00.000+13:002011-11-03T12:06:11.418+13:00King of the HillI completed my first ever gaming terrain last night. It's nade it out of some server packing foam ripped into smaller pieces then glued to a movement tray - and then some pollyfiller/spackle slapped on top. Glued and covered in sand, then painted the sand Khemi Brown before drybrushing it with Deneb Stone. Then a mixture of grasses glued on. Looks reasonable for a first go I think. If I do another, it will be bigger though as there really isn't room enough for more than 10 figures on the top of the hill.<br />

Slowly because as figures they're really not that inspiring. Rumor control has it that they may be replaced next year with a new set which would be good since these have been in production since 1999 or 2000. <br />
<br />
Anyway, almost done. Just need to tidy up them a little, print off a banner and add some flocking to the bases. <br />

And this warlord who was the Gamesday figure is nearly completed, just needs some tidying up and the base done...<br />

And I also have some nearly done scenery, in this case the Dreadstone Blight - an abandoned former wizzards tower. Can't quite finish it as I need to pin the second level floor to the surrounding walls and don't have the means to do so right now.<br />

I got sick (not even able to paint for a while there) and then the weather wasn't co-operating when it came to taking pictures. But today it all came together at last.<br />
<br />
So, left over from last months 'Elf n Safety, a repeat bolt thrower...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq305/GrumpyKiwi/EagleClaw01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" nba="true" src="http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq305/GrumpyKiwi/EagleClaw01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<br />
Firstly some Ungors<br />

And another unit of Gors, these ones all with two hand weapons - my unit of choice if only because it makes ranking them up easier.<br />

Picked up an Elf Battalion boxed set just before the new "even bloody higher" GW prices kicked in as well as some more Island of Blood elves. The aim is to have about 2500 points of High Elves, enough to match the other three armies.<br />
<br />
Off to a good start with the Sword Masters of Hoeth being complete.<br />

I've spent the last two weeks or so getting these tidied up, onto movement trays, with painted banners and so forth.<br />
<br />
The battline stretches across the table, Minotaurs, Gors, Ungors, Warhounds and more...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq305/GrumpyKiwi/BeastmanArmy01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq305/GrumpyKiwi/BeastmanArmy01.jpg" t$="true" width="320px" /></a></div><br />
Even the creature they call "The Blessed One" although the blessings of Chaos are strange indeed...<br />

Drawn to the smell of blood, Chaos Warhounds are unleashed upon the foe...<br />

The Beastigors, elite of the Beastmen prepare to charge. There will be good eating tonight...<br />

An Ungor regiment prepares for battle. If they do well, they will be allowed to feast on the scraps that the rest of the Gor's leave behind. If they fail, they may well end up being the feast...<br />
<br />

The Battle Standard Bearer of the army. His presence inspires the Beastmen to even greater acts of savagery. I suspect he also inspires humans facing him not to get captured...<br />
<br />

And a shot from the other side of the battlefield. "Stamp and trample! Gor and crush!"<br />

<br />
Here is the bulk (certainly the painted bulk) of my Warhammer Empire Army.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq305/GrumpyKiwi/EmpireArmy01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="208" src="http://i458.photobucket.com/albums/qq305/GrumpyKiwi/EmpireArmy01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Lots of canons, plenty of musketiers and a smattering of swordsmen and halbardiers.<br />
<br />
Not quite finished, but soon to join are some knights and some mounted pistoliers.ModernKiwihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931428734518973684noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582074557126983367.post-9673671993076616122011-06-26T19:03:00.000+12:002011-06-26T19:03:57.837+12:00State of the art bang bangWell it would have been state of the art in about 1640 I'd say at a guess.<br />
<br />
Somehow I ended up with 7 canons for my Warhammer Empire army. Normally I won't put anything on the battlefield unless it's painted and these have been unpainted for quite some time. I decided I'd put them on seperate bases each, with space on each base for the 3 crew the rules specify (they're really just wound counters). My brother made the round base that the canon sits on which can be rotated to point at the target. <br />

Also, modelling health & safety tip of the day. That knife blade that is too blunt to cut plastic is still sharp enough to cut your fragile human flesh. This message bought to you by "Ouch damn, that's a lot of blood".ModernKiwihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931428734518973684noreply@blogger.com2
