Shadespire: Ironskull's Boyz

I feel like i've returned home after a long but fruitful journey with painting this warband... Ironjawz were the first army for Age of Sigmar that i really clicked with, and i has been great fun painting some of them up again now for Shadespire:

Gurzag Ironskull and Bonekutta

Basha and Hacka

I went for a war torn version of Zedek's Weird Mob from the Ironjawz book rather than my old Incubi darkness scheme... see too many of them on the web recently haha ;-D

Guildball: Hunters Team Commission

So this last week all my free time has been spent on this project, a Hunters team commission, which needed to be completed by this coming Wednesday as my client is off to Steamcon over the wkend.

Please ignore the bases, he wants to do them so they match his existing teams so i have just given them a black base coat which he can finish off:

Captains: Skatha and Theron

Hearne and Veteran Hearne

Ulfr and Seenah

Minx, Chaska and Snow

Zarola, Jaecar and Egret 

Pits and Traps

I believe he either already had Fahad painted or wasnt going to be using the cat so he wasnt part of this project :-D

Shadespire: Core Set Painted

Bit of a delay on these as the shop i ordered it from closed for a week to go on holiday when Shadespire was released doh!

Still, i got both the Stormcast and Khorne warbands painted up yesterday:

Garrek's Reavers

Steelheart's Champions

For the Bloodreavers i decided to tie them in to my existing Khorne army for AoS nice and simple, but the Stormcast i wanted to do a little different! I settled on the Sons of Horus scheme from the Warhammer TV tutorial with a rakarth flesh drybrush rather than dawnstone edging to warm them up a bit and also the bases have a lot of grey already.

I hope to have my Ironskull's Boyz and the Sepulchral Guard this week... that order too was messed up with the shop holiday!

Kings of War: Vanguard on Kickstarter and my Abyssal Warband

The much anticipated skirmish version of Kings of War is now on Kickstarter, and after a rocky start it is funded and approaching the stretch goals!


Whilst the new Nightstalkers and Basilieans are cool, i wanted to get trying out the alpha rules straight away so it was off to the Mantic site for a browse... I dont own any fantasy models on square bases anymore haha.

I found these in the Dungeon Saga section, a box of nine additional Abyssal models from the game which had a few different sculpts which was perfect. All i needed was a hero to lead my force and the new Abyssal Temptress from the Edge of the Abyss campaign was a great addition.

So ive painted up my 100pt warband to play against my mate on wednesday, and will be fielding the following:

Command - Abyssal Temptress

Support - Abyssal Warlock

Large - Despoiler

Grunts - Lower Abyssals and Flamebearer

Warriors - Hellhound, Succubus and Abyssal Guard

A few of the models i can use to represent several profiles; The Moloch im using as a Despoiler can also be a Command model called a Tormentor, and the Succubus can be a Lurker if i want to mix stuff up.

The Walking Dead: Boosters, Boosters and more Boosters

I surprised even myself today, i managed to get all of the remaining twelve miniatures completed in dribs and drabs around housework and helping the boy with his homework haha

Glenn Prison Guard Booster - Walker, Glenn and Wes

Andrea Prison Sniper Booster - Billy & Ben, Andrea and Walker

Rick Prison Advisor Booster - Rick, Harold Abernathy and Walker

Michonne Game Booster - Terry, Michonne and Mike

Paranoid Miniatures: First battles in Mythos

Last wednesday my mate and i who each picked up a faction had a chance to play for the first time!

To make sure we had the rules sorted, and a good grasp of whats going on, we first played Scenario 1 The Encounter, with our forces fighting to the death over six turns but with no other objectives on the board.

 Rich moved his Angler up but i was able to blast it off the board with both Dorothy and Mercy channeling arcane attacks through Blood.

On turn six only the Dockland Queen remained alive for Rich's Hidden Ones!

We needed a more interactive scenario for our second game, so we went with Scenario 2 Tomes of Power; we needed to pick up mystical tomes across the middle of the board and read their secrets to score victory points... all the whilst fighting off the enemy and trying not to go insane in the process haha!

Rich was able to grab the tome worth 2VP and run off with it, and could spend most of the game reading it and passing it between the Angler and Molly, my giant Goat got an extra action point from Dorothy on turn one so was able to pick up the tome worth 3VP, read it a couple of times and pass it to Dorothy so he could kill the evil crab Click-Clack haha.

The dust settled on turn six and we had tied at 19VP each! Far closer and a much more interesting contest than our first game.

We really enjoyed Mythos; easy to pick up rules, plenty of tactical options each turn and some fantastic models to paint up for it. Much recommended for anyone who is a fan of the Cthulhu Mythos genre or just looking for a new and interesting skirmish game that doesn't break the bank and wont give you a head ache to get playing.

The Walking Dead: Morgan Booster and Maggie Booster

I'm on a roll this evening, two more booster sets painted up:

Maggie, Prison Defender - Susie & Rachel, Eddy (Walker) and Maggie

Morgan, Distraught Father - Eugene, Morgan and Duane (Walker)

Twelve more from this stage of the project remaining now, i hope to have more to show tomorrow!
