Black Gate Miniatures: Ogres, Ogres OGRES!

The last two days on this have gone mental, stretch after stretch has been smashed!

Here we have the Yeti's, available as add ons for 8 punds a unit

Note the sneaky preview of the Greenlings, to be added in the future to the line up hehe

The next goal that was broken was for the "Savage Kin", grim feral Ogres that serve as shock troops in the army. Seen here on the right, also available for 8 pounds a unit:

40K: Apostles of Contagion Characters

Ive completed three character models for my new force, and since i have a second set of them all i figured a couple of conversions were in order to add some of the different commander models but still using the great new plastics:

Typhus, Host of the Destroyer Hive (From the Lord of Contagion)

Noxious Blightbringer

Necrosis the Undying (From the Malignant Plaguecaster)

I will paint up stock, or close to stock, Lords of Contagion and Plaguecasters, the second Blightbringer i may turn into a unit champion for my other Plague Marine squad yet im just not sure,,,

Black Gate Miniatures: Go Go Mammoth Riders!!!

Black Gate's kickstarter i mentioned a couple of days ago has begun and is already passed its initial funding goal yeah!


As i type we are less than 140 pounds from unlocking the following stretch goal... A pack of two Heroes and two Shaman to lead our horde for 10 pounds:

When these are funded its only a short hop to the next goal of Mammoth Rider character models with these two available for 6 pounds each:

These are going to look amazing on the table!!!!

40K: Beginning the Apostles of Contagion

So im back into 40K with the 8th edition haha, and in addition to my existing Khorne Daemon force im planning to build on the Death Guard and Primaris starter armies that come in the box game.

First up will be my Nurgle, painted up as Apostles of Contagion as i dont yet have a scheme im happy with for the Imperial side. Here are the Plague Marines done:

I have picked up a second set of the Nurgle from a mate so am planning some conversions on squad members and characters to get some variation into my minis!

Black Gate Miniatures: The time of the Mammoth is at hand

Following the completed shipping of the Ogre warriors, Armoured Warriors and Cannoneers back in April, Black Gate Miniatures are going back to kickstarter tomorrow to fund some rather furry additions to their line up!

Again Christian's concept art is spot on great, and Robi's sculpts from the infantry have been cracking so i know we are in for a treat!

The campaign will kick off tomorrow 26th June, and will run for 21 days till the 16th of July.

Funding starts at £500 for the Mammoth Riders which will cost 10 pounds per unit of three models, and most backers will be after two units to use in some existing game systems.

Stretch goals planned for the campaign include:

• Infantry Character set of two Shaman and two Heroes
• Mammoth Rider Hero
• Mammoth Rider Shaman
• And more!

The Ogre Infantry will all be available as add ons for 9 pounds each or four for 32 pounds!

More info tomorrow, including the art for those character stretch goals!

Age of Sigmar: Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage!!!!

Finally finally finally! My Bloodthirster has arrived and is now painted!

This completes my tourney force but is not the end of painting Khorne stuff as my extended workbench will attest haha

Also, with 8th edition 40k looking amazing and me having a usable force already with all my Daemons, it would be rude not to give it a whirl... only need some world eaters to go with it, and a fewDaemon Engines, and a few....
