What are you doing today hobbywise?

Got the houses painted. Not the best work I've ever done, but not bad for field expedient terrain.

 

Alrighty boys you caught me in a rare mood this morning. There will be many updates today.

Starting with:

more orders on the printers. The third group of 10 riftforged have had their basecoats done. I've also started to test out a scheme for the new mantic empires of dust. I think you all will like it.

 

Varnished my Chaos Siege Giant.

Now thinking about my Destroyer...

 

Painted up a special Gondor Warrior for my Minas Tirith Battle Company

Grrr, Imrahil

 

why is he special?

 

Because he is a very good boy

Seriously now: I had a Knight of Minas Tirith with lance but without shield in my company that lost his horse in the last scenario. So I had to create a Warrior of Minas Tirith with spear but without shield.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Fun.

and thats exactly why i like narrative driven campaigns for skirmish gameplay. Mordheim comes to mind.

I really want to play some LOTR though.

 

It really is a fun gaming system.

Last night was game night again We played 2 scenarios: great night, the dice were very much against me though, my brother overwhelmed my company twice...
His heroes have become tanks right now

I was able to buy back the horse for my new model
And 2 warriors became a hero

Batreps soon

Grrr, Imrahil

 

When you are the only one at the office today



Grrr, Imrahil

 

looks like fun.

no sleep for the slaan here:

I'm finishing up my rift forged orc commission and working on adding 600 mantic product codes to my webstore.

 

Started another 3 pieces of terrain. Also, I ordered a copy of the 5e Players Handbook that should get here in a couple weeks. Since that's all anyone is playing around here, I might as well have a copy for myself.

Hmm, what have I been doing? Oh, right.

BIG STONKING TURTLE!!!


Clearly not done yet, but you can see where I'm going with it. Got to pick up some cocktail skewers to make railings and some more glue. The big V-thing in the front is going to be a ... catapult... yeah... totally isn't a big slingshot like a Doom Diver launcher... for launching rocks or pots of fire-leeches. I also plan on having one of the fire-throwers on each of the small side platforms for deck-sweeping.

Basically, this is a Seraphon warship! Ancient Snapadon moves fast in water, but can still move on land too, for a LAND-SHIP!!! Why? Because I can.

 

I have decided that I am no longer constraining myself to conversions that will still have game purposes.

If I want to make a random model cool, well then fuck it I'm doing it

 

Agreed. I don't have rules for my turtle warship thing, but I'm building it anyway because I can.

 

And because it's fucking awesome

 

Finished my Wood Elf Blood Bowl team (almost - still have one tree to paint)

 

Updated the coach model for my gobbo BB team. The old coach is now the apothecary
New coach

Now the Apothecary
Gobbo Player and team colours, deep red with black and white checks

 

And just of interest:
Some old school Citadel models I found in an archived storage box.
Excuse painting quality. I did these back in the 80's-90's
Blood bowl ogres:
Also some old trolls that I used many years ago playing dungeon bowl with some mates. They were used as random wandering monsters in the dungeon

 

And some old Wilhelm Chaney models for previous editions of BB:
Excuse painting quality. These were done back in the 80's
And because you can never have enough werewolves:
