Some loose ends again.... trying to clear the desk!

I'm trying to get my painting desk clear by the end of the year, and maybe the shelf above it but i think that's a big ask now haha. These i have done over the last couple of days:

2014 Ltd Ed Boiler from Guildball

Chisel from Guildball 

Show exclusive Kappa from Bushido

Lylyth, Herald of Everblight for Legion

Bull Snapper for Gatormans 

Hopefully time for a few more posts before the big new years round up!

Relics: The Horror!!!! Children of Niropth Preview

A couple of days late but here is the latest preview from Tor Gaming for the C'thu faction, the Children of Niropth:

These look proper twisted and cool, and i cant wait to see the what the sculpts look like during the campaign!

The C'thu are shaping to be a very interesting force for painters and gamers a like ;-D 

Thornfall Alliance: Pigbuses... Millions of them!!!!!

Its been quite a few months since i needed to buy something for my piggies to the recent releases have been greatly anticipated haha:

Brigand Warlord (UA)

Effarit Scouts

Meat Thresher 1

Meat Thresher 2

Meat Thresher 3

Yes i have bought three of the crazy Farrow Battle Engines, and will be using all three in one list at a tourney tomorrow at least once!

Lord of the Rings: Pointy Hats & Pointy Ears!

Last three for this stage, a couple of wizards and a certain elf:

Saruman the White

Radagast the Brown

Legolas Greenleaf

The wizards are done to official schemes but Legolas is a custom scheme as my client is planning a Wood Elf army led by him and Orlando Bloom is the General and test model for it haha

Lord of the Rings Commission: Thorin's Company

For the last two days i have been working on Thorin's Company from The Hobbit game for my existing client who i have painted all the previous LoTR entries for. He asked if i could do them in the official scheme (Best as i could do!) from the Goblin Town Box:

Kili, Fili and Bofur

Nori, Dori and Gloin

Bombur, Bifur and Ori

Balin, Dwalin and Oin

Bilbo Baggins

As before the bases are left just blacked as my client has his own basing to match his armies. A few more to come from this project in the next day or so....

Relics: The Horror!!!! New C'thu Preview

Just a quick post from me today, Tor Gaming have released another art preview for the upcoming C'thu faction:

Now as a pack of squid-dogs go these look very funky, the name reminds me of the Hounds of Tindalos from Lovecrafts Cthulhu Mythos which could move through dimensions and come out of right angles to hunt their prey if memory serves... hopefully these will have some form of unique movement or deployment trait too :-D 

SAGA: The Pagan Rus

I found myself at Gripping Beast at Salute earlier in the year and couldnt resist the lure of SAGA again haha so i picked up the Revenants at the time then an Irish starter box not long after. More purchases of the various books gave me a full overview of the various factions and the Pagan Rus caught my eye with a mix of Russian badassness and Nordic brutality haha: 

Warlord

Hearthguard

Hearthguard

Warriors

Warriors

This is just an initial 4pts force to get me through the first few games as i learn how the Pagan Rus work. I plan to add another pt of Hearthguard, Warriors and pick up a pt of Levy for a bit of Variety. to take me up to 8pts i may grab a suitable Pagan Priest model and check in a couple of banner bearers.
