Some nice stuff, looking forward to seeing the mortis, I have the 32mm leviathan and keep looking at getting a mortis. The kits go together very well and the possibility is awesome!

They are awesome kits and they do work together well.

First of all a scale shot with the C-in-c Walkers

Compleat Llamahead day today that means there's new stuff on all my active blogs;
The Forces of Nurgle http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/270/231101.page#7764195
The Conclave of Hrin http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/240/279068.page#7840092

We'll start with the none painty stuff first. Received a bad miscast on 1 of the Avenger Tank Destroyers I brought at Salute. I asked for a replacement and rather than the single tank I expected received an entire packet. Cool.
Next I got my first game in in ages against one of the lads from site. My Chaos received their first victory. A thunderous bombardment from the Banelord practically wiped out 2 clans and after that the Orks never quite reentered the game. Only problem I was playing the Orks great fun but the theory my dice hate me is now stronger than ever. I mean whoever manages not t roll 1 misfire in a game?

New Epic units next

Went for more of a Golden Retreiver than a Wolf didn't quite get it but it looks more of a mongrel than a pedigree and a hound not a wolf so I'm happy

Started painting up my Gregster's lab kickstarter stuff. Really happy with it. Got a lot more to come!

Somebody on Tactical Command suggested a big monster for the Thunder's Children. Any Suggestions?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Quick question got some Instant Mold on the way any recommendations for it's use?

Treated myself to some new toys again. Mostly more Spaceships. I have an excuse. You see I needed the right number of pods to make my armed fleet tender symmetrical and those nice lads at Ground Zero Games said they'd put it in my next order for free. I got some more merchantmen, and some toys for the Army Group. Enough transports for an Airborne Company and a Dropship.

Heres the A7V (planning to use as a Valkyrie)

Some scale shots with a Leman Russ, Land Raider, the A7V, Rhino and a Bison. It's alright with the GW stuff good with the Brigade Models stuff.



I've also got more ships done.
Some Heavy Fighters.

CNS Bucephalus a Destrier class Light Cruiser (GZG NSL Danzig Class)

Awesome stuff matey!

Awesome Ships! I really like the ruin bases too!

Cheers guys

First Yon of the Plumstead Militia

then Hoplite 3rd Vehicle of 2nd Platoon 4th Company 3rd Hrin Cataphracti


Now my Drop Shuttle

A Ground Zero Games attack sled for 15m with different weapons to make it more 6mm

The size makes it an excellent platoon level transport not quite large enough for a company though

Ooh, that's chunky! Like it!

Yep it's got that heft I associate with 2nd Ed 40k and certainly fits the part.

Been looking at the Age of Sigmar stuff that just hit and while I'll look at prices I reckon it might be Kings of War for me or maybe time to get working on After the Cataclysm...........

Talking about After the Cataclysm more Sons of Thunder

Philemon Mage

Archers

Very close to finishing this army

Real life will be throwing a spanner in the hobby for a while. My jobs going great I've been there over a year and they've aggressively tried to keep me on a rarity in archaeology. Therrefore te time has come to start closing up shop in Sheffield. Yuck I hate moving and house hunting!

Where are you off to mate?

Looking for a place in the Cambridge area, Ely preferably. Been in the same job in the area for well over a year and get on well with everybody there. I'm not aiming to move back to Sheffield any time soon and I'm getting to the point where I don't want to remain at my parents any more not that I'm not grateful it's just you know how it is.......

Tomorrow I begin the process of moving out of my place in Sheffield. I'll be mainly boxing up models and tidying my desk. Throwing out a lot of the rubbish I've gathered for terrain. I've also got close to finishing two of my fantasy 6mm armies. Current plan is to hold of getting more 6mm until A) I receive my Troublemaker Games kickstarter, B) I receive my CAV kickstarter, C) Microworld games releases it's Post Acopalytic 6mm line. I am however hmming and hahing about starting a new 28mm army. There's two major fantasy projects I want to do, quasi-historical fantasy humans and orcs. Orcs would be Mantic models using Confrontation Orcs as heroes and elites while the quasi-historical fantasy humans would be based on Perry miniatures/ Warlord Games historicals. This won't be started soon as I'll at least finish moving first. I'd also like to set up a gaming board using the classic Robin Dews article from the first WD I ever acquired.

Urrrggghhh I have a lot of models.........
Their packed and down here save although I have now created an entirely too large box of shame.......This consists of assembled and unpainted/undercoated and forgot about models. brutally badly packed. I also have two boxes the same size of better packed painted models. My Zulus and Inquisition have ended up in the proper packaging although I only managed to bring one load of that down.

Been surveying my unassembled titan collection it's rather impressive if I'm honest.
1 Imperator Class (Leviathon Mortis)
10 Warlord Class (1 Mk 1 & 9 Beetlebacks) (15 total)
5 Reavers (6 total)
6 Warhounds (16 total)
Oh ad 2 Mega Gargants with 3 Troublemaker Games Gargant equivalents coming from Kickstarter.

Organisation is currently planned as 5 Warlord Titan battlegroups. 1 for each god.
A Reaver for each God and 2 loyalists
A Warhound Titan scout pack for Tzeentch, Nurgle & Khorne as well as the two Undivided pairs as well as at least a pair of Loyalist warhounds. Currently hmming and hahhing about what to use for the Slaaneshi questers. My original plan to use the Dropzone Commander Walkers as Titans has fell through since I've seen the Troublemaker Games Knights......

Very cool stuff. Reminds me of very old blanchitsu.

Wow high praise. Yepp the inspiration (and raw material ) for a lot of this stuff is early nineties GW.
Got less wangsting and more painting done this weekend (well photographing most of this stuffs been finished for a while)

Got the Thunder's Children Completed
Warchief Bloodmane

Spears

Nobles

The Complete Herd


Also started mucking about with Epic Orks & Chaos again. I'm going to leave off starting anything new until some of the Kickstarters turn up and obviously Tale of Epic Gamers kicks off for 2016!

Impressive, loving the ork stuff!

Fully moved out of Sheffield. Hectic weekend. Equally did it faster than I thought and winded up saying goodbye to some old haunts. Treated myself to some new toys while doing it. Frostgrave an excellent simple game but probably more sophisticated than I reckon. I also got some bits and bobs I've been meaning to pick up for ages. The Killa Kan kit as we all know I need more Gargants right, I've also got another 3 coming from the Troublemaker games kickstarter, thats 6 more! I also got the Hydra Miniatures Space Pirates squadron for some Chaos Aircraft. I've also acquired some stuff from Malifaux. The Hoarcats who will help start my collection of critters for Frostgrave, and the 2 Through the Breach sets. Heres where the frustration hits. I found an excellent part for Paradigm's Never Tell me the Odds competition, A playing card hand, I then dropped it and have managed to totally lose it. The kits also frankly aren't particularly flexible and an odd scale. I'm therefore thinking of using them along with my Dystopian Legions Prussians in a 7TV campaign as both have a similar period and scale.

Well started playing with some of my new toys.
I've assembled a few of the War Rockets. Simple characterful sculpts.

I've also got the first 2 Through the Breach plastics done. Not that impressed not bad but not particularly flexible kit and not recommended as compatible with GW. Far too tin and lanky for that.

I've also got some painted Beastmen as the first Chaos card I've finished in ages

Those war rockets are really cool sculpts. Plumstead Militia is also an excellent name and I do like halflings. How is Frostgrave? I thought it seemed interesting as a sort of cleaned up Mordheim, but I wasn't sure how Osprey would do with a fantasy war-game...

It seems really good but until I've played it I can't tell for sure. It's hugely wizard centric and everybody else except maybe the apprentice is a mook, I'm not sure I like that, equally it has more options for random encounters than Mordheim and I appreciate that. Osprey is a publishing house not an author, while they've been known for their guides for years all they've really been doing is printing and maybe commissioning stuff somebody else writes for them. Frankly there first Wargames rule set was more a departure than a fantasy rule set and Bolt Action is doing well. Incidentally I've finally finished reading 7TV and it's excellent fairly similar mechanically if I'm honest but a totally different style. Seems as though I now own two excellent skirmish rule sets all I need is to scare up an opponent.

The War Rockets are excellent Hydra Miniatures does some lovely models as you know and Wargames Emporium is their UK stockist. For the name of the Plumstead Militia I can't take much credit as I was working near a village called Plumstead when I was naming them and like Steeple Bumpstead it's a name I just associate with Hobbits and the Shire!

Back to Epic been really enjoying getting back into my Epic Chaos and Orks painting groove. Half of my Troublemaker Games kickstarter order arrived this week as well. Not Tallarns cool...The Gargants aren't here yet as I pledged for a deal which had been removed which made things complicated for them. Photographs when I get a round to it.

Heres the painted stuff Orks first
A bunch of Ork character stands theres a few Microworld games orcs mixed in as well.

A Mekboy Gargant Fixauppa


Chaos next
Disc Riders nice & bright!
