Sythopian Wars: Heavies Spider

 Finally got this bad boy finished off having been sat half done for a few months!

Looking forward to getting some games in of this superb looking game ahead of the Kickstarter for the Host and expanding the existing Confederation and Asylumists! 

L'Art De La Guerre: Classical Indians

One of my mates who runs the Warmaster.Podcast and Blackgate Miniatures decided he wanted to get playing some 15mm Ancients, and having a look about about a few systems, has decided on L'art de la guerre (ADLG) due to rave reviews, ease of entry and only needing a 4x3 board and not giant armies!

I decided to get involved too, but I'd want to purchase a painted army that i could add bits to as i don't have the time for another big project at the moment:

So i purchased this entire painted army of Classical Indians (Around the time of Alexander), I redid the base rims but its a full 200pts force for a standard game of ADLG.. If i'm gonna play Ancients then i have to use elephants haha.

Having read through the rules and worked out what i had, i decided to pick up a couple more light cavalry units, a camp and some elite infantry in the form of Maiden Guard (All from Museum Miniatures), they fit perfectly as the existing army is also from Museum:

Painting is close enough that i'm happy with, basing will also do for now too. The best thing about this army is that i can just add a few specific units should i decide to change periods.. no full army required! 

Conquest: Nords Blooded and Shaman

 A couple of characters to lead my growing forces today; A Blooded and a Shaman:

Blooded

Shaman

The Blooded is an all rounder would can be equipped as a melee beater or a ranged machine gun haha, the Shaman is well, a wizard... not destructive like the Dweg ones but offering plenty of niche but effective support spells!

Conquest: Nords Ugr

 Next up are a regiment of Ugr, the ogre equivalent brutes for the Nords:

I'm a big fan of these models, they are a bit static but easy to build and paint quickly!

Conquest: Starting Nords and Fenr Beastpack

 Two posts in two days! What a time to be alive haha

I'm applying to be a Vanguard for Para-Bellum, so i need to have a second army available to run demos with and chose Nords because they play entirely different from the Dweghom and they look cool. I picked up the starter box and some of the Jotnar in an ebay bargain hehe:

I started with the easiest models to paint, the Fenr Beastpack, again using slap chop to follow the box art as best i can. These are a light cavalry equivalent in the force, next up will be the Ugr!

Conquest: Inferno Automata

Well a month off painting and hobby with some illness in the family and some incredibly busy work days left me proper drained!

Finally had a breather yesterday to get these completed:

Will certainly be nice to get some faster moving stuff on the board for my Dweghom haha.
