Gatormans: Frogs & Gobbers

Im trying to clear off some of the smaller left over projects before starting some new ones this year so yesterday i finally got my Croak Raiders finished that i have had sat half painted since release day! And whilst i was at it i painted up my pack of River Raiders that i have also had since they were released:

The Croaks were a paint to paint so im in no hurry to add a second unit to my collection, the Gobbers were a joy to do so may pick up another pack or two of them at some point. 

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!

Beauty and the Bowman

A couple of quickies whilst im sorting the Infinity stuff out:

Tamotsu - The Ito Clan (Bushido)

Con Exclusive Blindwater Babe (Gatormans)

Had these lying around part painted for a couple of months so finished them off as the nuln oil drys on the Infinity guys haha

Of Wastemen and Warmachines...

First of several posts today; finished of my latest order of Wasteman minis and a second Feralgeist for my Blindwater:

 

Mantis Man

 

 

 

 

FIDO 5000

 

 

 

 

Creature Feature Comforts

 

 

 

 

Feralgeist (Blindwater)

 



Gatormans: Sacral Vault!

Apologies for then lack of updates this week but I have been rather busy painting up this bad boy:

 

 

 

 

 

The Sacral Vault is arguably the best battle engine in the game and is a fantastic centerpiece for my Blindwater army :-D



Minions Assemble!

Another joint post for the Hordes bargain basement boys haha

 

Croak Hunter 3

 

 

Rorsh & Brine

 

 

Razorback Crew 2

 

 

 

 

That's 100pts of the Gators and 129pts of pigz done in 4 months, not bad going if I do say so myself!



Gatormans: Gatorman Posse 3

My third Gatorman Posse is now complete:

 

My third Croak Hunter will be painted this week and that will take me to 68 gators and 100pts in the case! There are a few spots spare and a mate is looking to shit on a few of his unpainted minions so there may well be a few more additions before the vaults are released :-D



Gatormans: Bog Trog Ambushers

This unit seems to have taken an age to paint, I started them not long after my last post!

 

 

 

I will start constructing the 3rd posse tomorrow but we had a card through the letter box that may well be some Darklands goodies have arrived too haha



Gators & Pigz combine!

The odds n sods I started earlier in the week:

 

Maelok the Dreadbound - Gatorman Warlock

 

 

 

Croak Hunter 2 - Solo

 

 

 

Razorback Crew - Piggy Bazooka!



Gatormans: Moar Solos and 400 posts!

Two more solos today with a Croak Hunter and Victor Pendrake down:

 

 

 

 

 

This is the second Victor Pendrake I own, another was painted in October last year for my Farrow army... I wanted one for each force so I would never be without hehe.

 

 

This is the first of three Croak Hunters I have, they are pretty handy with several of them on the go and if I ever decide to run Rask's theme force I could buy another three of them for a proper frog attack! 

 

 

This is also my 400th post on the blog which is kind of a big milestone for me, who'd have thought that 4 years later after those first dodgy Farrow and Drune pics went up i'd still be playing and painting minions!



Gatormans: 75pts painted!

Long time reader and commenter Wouter yesterday asked for a group shot of all the painted Gatormans see already on the blog:

 

 

That's 75pts with 4 warlocks, 4 beasts, 10 gators, 20 shamblers, 2 witch doctors, totem hunter, thrullg, a feralgeist, swamp gobbers and Wrong Eye & Snapjaw.


Still to come is Maelok, 5 gators, 10 bog trogs, 3 croak hunters and victor pendrake :-D

 

Gatormans: Characters continued

As I posted yesterday, here's some more completed character models:

 

 

Rask - Warlock

 

 

 

 

Wrong Eye - Lesser Warlock Solo

 

 

 

 

Witch Doctor - Solo

 

 

 

 

Totem Hunter - Character Solo

 



Gatormans: Calaban and Snapjaw

Im working through my remaining warlocks and solos before tackling the last two units so they will be a bit hodge-podge in the order of things getting done over the next week:

Calaban the Grave Walker - Warlock

 

Snapjaw - Heavy Warbeast (Go's with Wrong Eye)

 

 

Calaban is a tricksy Warlock to use, perhaps the weakest in gators but I still look forward to giving him a run out soon. Snapjaw is a character heavy beast that is included with the Lesser Warlock Wrong Eye... he is a bit further down the finish line as I am currently working on three other models at once.

Gatormans: Swamp Shamblers

The biggest unit of the Congregation is finished:

 

Gatorman Bokur

 

 

 

Swamp Shamblers

 

 

Moar Swamp Shamblers

 

 

The shamblers start as a 10 man unit of 1 Bokur and 9 zombies but can increase in size by clooecting up corpses to a maximum of 20 of the little buggers haha. 



Gatormans: 35pts is done yay!

These few models take me to over 35pts painted whicg is enough for the tournament next weekend at Table Top Nation:

Thrullg

 

 

 

 

Witch Doctor

 

 

 

 

Swamp Gobbers

 

 

 

 

The Thrullg is an anti magic solo, he can get rid of upkeeps from models with his attacks, the Witch Doctor is a great support solo to make my units undead and tough haha, and the Swamp Gobbers provide a big fart cloud of cover to hide my important models. 



Gatormans: Blackhide Wrastler

This is the last of my battlegroup beasts for now (Not getting a Boneswarm), I still have Snapjaw to paint up but he can come later, and may pick up a 2nd Bull Snapper:

 

Blackhide Wrastler - Heavy Beast

 

 

 

 

The Wrastler is the heavy beatstick of the Blindwater but he's not the best by a longshot, but with Rask's Fury spell he can go up to colossal smashing levels haha



Gatormans: Beasties!

I finished off three of my beasties last night:

 

Swamp Horror - Heavy Beast

 

 

Bull Snapper - Light Beast

 

 

Ironback Spitter - Heavy Beast



Gatormans: Jaga-Jaga

This is Jaga-Jaga, the 5th Warlock released for the Blindwater Congregation, and the first lady gator model to boot!

 

 

She is one massive model, far far bigger than Barnabus, and is roughly the equal of an Ironback Spitter! Speaking of beasts, I currently have four of them on the paint table at varying stages of completion... note to self, don't try that again!



Gatormans - 2nd Posse and Feralgeist

The second posse below will help give my fledgling force real staying power on the field in small games of 35pts or less... bigger games will need that 3rd posse!

 

 

The Feralgeist in the second picture is a cheeky little solo who can be used to keep dead beasts on the field for longer (Yours and your opponents), and unless they dedicate some magic to killing him there is naff all they can do about it haha



Gatormans - Bloody Barnabus

Every Hordes army needs a Warlock so here is my first one:

 

 

Bloody Barnabus

 

 

Barny is the big bad fella that started up the Blindwater Congregation, he's a cranky old git who was so badass that he might be the first gatorman to die from old age... being over a 1000yrs old already!

This wasn't good enough for him so he has embarked on a mad quest to ascend to godhood by killing thousands of people haha
