Dug out some of my fiance's beastmen from the loft.

I will try and paint some more figs to match at some point, but it may well be beyond my abilities and she hasn't painted anything in years (and as she spent an age painting these I doubt she would volenteer) lol.

There are a couple more shots on the blog.

Moving onto the next models ready to hit the painting desk, 2 more minion heavy warbeasts, my ironback spitters. I coulden't stand their chin horns, so they came off, also didn't like the pose so they have both been re-posed.

These guys are the only Blindwater heavy so far with ranged attacks, corrosive spit, they are not excellent in game (just OK) but the models are nice enough (without their chin horns lol) and I can use them as big friends of the terrortoise should I ever need them... also I got them both quite heavily discounted which always helps lol.

Update on the Ironbacks.

Photo quality is pretty rubbish, sorry about that, but they are still PiP anyway so a fair distance to go before they are done. More angles on the blog:

I went to finish the Ironbacks but I wasn't "feeling" it so I stood infront of the cabinet and looked at the hordes of un-painted miniatures, and I eventually picked some things to paint, normally I just stand there get depressed and go and do something else lol....



More pics on the blog as per usual..

Bored of elves now :(, also they don't like me (= not happy with the paint work at all).




Considered a Fire cult warband to go with this Rackham beasty, but then I got bored of painting it too... :(.

Great stuff as always whites always fairly unforgiving to paint

Put together my first models from round 2 of the Kings of war kickstarter

There's a bit of a moan about the general in-ability to assmble them properly up on the blog too... lol



Also got a bit of paint on Ash's mount.

Awesome to see someone else interested in getting their hordes of models painted! Also, nice to see fire properly painted from light to dark!

Good stuff!

I love all this stuff and I decided to bite the bullet and get started on some Fantasy skirmish models of my own. Do you play Mordheim or is this some variant (I was sure I already asked this but can't find where). How often do you play? And what is your board like?

I have a bunch of 3d dungeon tiles coming, and have started a vampire warband. Any tips on making warbands?

Also I personally love the woodelves you did, I think you could go a few shades paler with the skin but otherwise great, nice scheme.

Unfortuantely I don't play any wargames at the moment, the club is more about mass battle games and i've given up on those, instead I join in the (actually masses of fun) board gaming people, playing games like Eclipse, Sparticus, Blood bowl team manager, Ascension, etc.
I'm just enjoying the ability to make whatever I like and build warbands in my head mostly .

Mordheim is my favorite wargame but it does require commitment from all players taking part and that is rare to find around here.
Saying all that I am building models for this cooperative (much more my style) Mordheim campaign:
http://hobbyblog.wargameweaver.com/mordheim/the-vampire-hunters-mordheim-campaign

Were I to use these games in Mordheim (one day maybe) I would likely tweak the skills and use more equipment / races but wouldn't change much else.
On making warbands the best tip I can give you is to ensure you have the maxiimum amount of heroes in your warband before recruiting anything else, and if your group is more competative than story driven, quantity is usually better than quality.

So I decided that my Ghouls looked too similar to my Zombies (not helped by the use of Ghoul parts in my zombies lol).

I picked some replacement figures, did a bit of GS work to remove some humped-backs and painted them up:

Looking good. I take it those are the Hobbit goblins how do they compare to a warhammer model in size?

A little on the short side to be honest, they are more 25mm scale, but I don't mind having short ghouls lol .
