Works for me ^^ !

Cheers and carrying on the theme.....

First lot of Zombicide Zombies planned to be usable with this collection.

First of all a Chaos Dwarf

The final three of the first 9 Zombies

This gives me a painted one of each basic sculpt.

Mordheim Darksoul

Cult Crossbow done.

Hopefully Dragon Rampant and Kings of War 2 will raise my interest in gaming with these guys.

Cultist looks great! Is he from the Frostgrave range?

Yep the Frostgrave cultists are an excellent kit very simple but characterful. Got some more stuff done as well

Been reading up my copy of Kings of War and Uncharted Empires as well as Dragon Rampant. Yep just before GW releases points for AoS I brought several fantasy rulesets. Do I feel a fool. No both interest me more. For Dragons Rampant with it's unit design rues it'll be in when I can be bothered. Which might be fairly quickly actually as the model count means the Army of New Haven will be ready for it fairly soon as well.
Kings of War is more problematic as I don't really have a Varangur (Warriors of Chaos) or Herd (Beastman) army but instead have a Chaos Horde which mixes both ranges thoroughly. I'm also seriously considering adding models to make it more useful as either of these forces originally I was aghast at this but considering it more I'm quite happy it means it's rejuvenated my interest in 28mm fantasy which is what it was meant to do.

Corruptor and cultist done had to update my basing mix lately and not happy with it they only had the lime green stuff so I've dyed it but It's started to clump I'll leave it to dry for longer and that should help.

Something sightly different Nurglings!

Have to admit the Start Collecting Daemons of Nurgle box is on my wishlist with the new games....

Excellent, behold the wave of jolly murdering plague frogs !

I'm liking your stuff, Llamahead. Very nice blend of models (I'm loving that Corruptor peeling his face/mouth/thingie) with a colour scheme that oozes (pun intended) Nurgle. Looking forward to more slimy goodness

Thanks guys more cultists and zombies for you this time

Went minimalist on the Cultist actually looks quite good.

These Zombies are rather dark but mehh

That scythe cultist has something very sinister about him, like he is a scarecrow filled with rotten flesh...

Yep the scythe is my favourite part on the cultist sprue if I'm honest and I'm probably joining the Gnickstarter for the Gnolls this week.

Well I joined the Gnickstarter backed Massive Darkness and receive the rest of my Black plague kickstarter goodies mweeheeheee.....

Two new minions for your perusal



So here's a shot of the loot from the Kickstarter

and here is all the Zombies. 199 of them

Lots of excellent models in here oddly enough one of the sets I'm really taken with is the Deadshot Archers which are the best undead archers I've seen. The crows are also excellent gribblies. I have several of the NPC zombies earmarked for Frostgrave Vampires as well! To be honest it also provides ,e with a Kings of War Undead army as well. Might be worth looking in to.

It didn't quite work for Kings of War but does provide me with a fun force for Dragons Rampant.
Zombies

and another Warrior.

Got another cultist to join the ranks.

But far more amusingly an evil Oom-pah-pah horn player. I've earmarked him as a Skald character for Kings of War

Celtos Fir Bolg Musician. Nice chunky detailed single piece metal model.

Centaur

Cultist

Gnolls to come....

Remind me to photo my Gnolls....
Zombies

Cultist

Dead Eye Walkers

Minotaur

Good mix of models finished though.

2 more Cultists done

Cultists are looking good! Great work, as always

Excellent ! If you ever have the opportunity, I think a cultist group shot could be pretty nice.

I'll leave that till they're done I've got 25 in total.

This guy will look great amidst my Nurgle Warriors.

2 more Cultists

A warrior

Some Zombies

and a Zombogre make this a productive time for these guys

Cool stuff. Cultists, Warrior and Zombies are looking great.

EDC

Thanks!
Heres a Cultist and a Chaos Dwarf to entertain you.

Gnolls will be along shortly!

First of the Gnolls done rubbish shot

and a different shade of brown Cultist

Same again a bit more in focus!

Guess what more cultists and gnolls as I like painting them.

Not a Gnoll and a Cultist!
Evil Undead Jester from Zombicide. Excellent for Nurgle in my opinion esecially the Carnival of Chaos. Hmm brain wave......

Zombies and a Corrupted Knight

First of all the usual suspects

Now some Dead Eye Archers

Then theres these muties.

Finally the Wolfbom may as well appear here too.

Still grinding through these. I've got the Barbarians coming as well which will fit this army superbly.

Not the usual suspects!
Mantic Gargoyle.

Painted as a statue more for Frostgrave than anything else.

Chaos Dwarf from the chronopia line.

Zombie Minstrel from Frostgrave

Just a Cultist

You've certainly been busy since the last time I checked this thread! I really like those Dead Eye Archers, what range are they from?

Thanks, Zombicide Black Plague it's got a lot of excellent models in it. Theres a bunch more in my Rawl Plug Shenanigans blog as I'm planning to use a lot in Frostgrave.

Zombicide Jester very fitting for Nurgle

Wow, I love that jester, its decomposing face still looks ready to joke !

Yeah the Zombicide stuff is utterly excellent ain't it.

That jester is awesome! Reminds me of something from the demented mind of Ligotti. Also, I'm loving the bases. It adds so much character to an already characterful model.

-LostCarcosa

Cheers Lost Carcosa.
Cultist Gargoyle and Monk for your viewing pleasure.

Cultist.

So planning for next year on this blog. Weeeellll planning per se for this project though. Gradually paint random models from my stockpile really. Frostgrave barbarians will be heading here at some point in the relatively near future. Several of the Massive Darkness gribblies will be painted to complement this host as well but don't expect too much. I'm hoping to play a few KoW games with these guys as Varangur and the Herd as well at some point as well as Dragon Rampant there waiting on the Army of New Haven to get big enough so I can provide both sides. It's almost there.

Wow I really like that Jester, he fits in perfectly. Just the right amount of creepy!

Cheers Ork Intelligence and on the subject of creepy a Zombie Maid enters the fray.

The Ablobination has also received paint and might moonlight as a Daemon Prince

Both a Cultist archer and a Fallen Knight have also been produced

Fantastic models! I love the colour scheme.

Looking good! On the last model, I can tell where the head and arms came from but not the torso and body. What model is that?

-LostCarcosa

Cheers guys. The torso and body are from the Corruptors of the Apocalypse kit by Avatars of War. Great kit but from the gossip get it from a retailer as theres been problem with production and kickstarters from them.

Another Corruptor

Hadn't seen this before - nice work! I like the Jester and the Hag from page 1. Also glad to see somebody snagged the WGF chariot deal and went to town with it. Always wanted to do that.

Cheers glad you enjoyed it. Those Chariots are excellent might have to get some more for a horde for KoW.

Got some more Zombies done.

As well as those I have a Midlam Miniatures Pigman painted.

The Orange fur is because Saxon Pigs are orange which has fascinated me since I was 7 or 8.......

Holy swine, that pigman is perfect for Nurgle. Nice dig, and I fully appove of the paint scheme.

That pigman is awesome! I absolutely agree with Kernel. It reminds me of the pig monsters in Darkest Dungeon. If you haven't heard of it, you definitely should check it out. There's so much Nurgley-y goodness in it

And thank you.

-LostCarcosa

Cheers guys and glad to help.
A Cult Priest first.

Simple headswap with a Frostgrave cultist head.
Gnoll

A bunch of Moria Goblins to provide a vicious mob of degenerate midgets.

Finally Wulf is the first of my Frostgrave Barbarians to receive paint.

Llamahead this is such a wonderful array of Nurgly goodness. The variety of miniatures is impressive, all used creatively and to a unified aesthetic.
Great work, I look forward to visiting and seeing more progress.

Love that priest Llamahead, perfect pose for an unholy ceremony.

Thanks a lot you two. Yep the Zombicide range has some excellent characterful models in it. I've also backed a couple of other kickstarters on the basis of it. Village Attacks and Rising Sun which are both on the go now and Mythic Battles Pantheon and Massive Darkness which will also provide more fodder for the horde....

It's a Compleat Llamahead as well with posts on my Rawl Plug Shenanigans https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/750/356363.page#9283330 and Army of New Haven blogs https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/688527.page#9104601 as well.
A Gnoll and a cultist for your pleasure finished assembling the Gnolls and getting close to getting all my cultists painted.

A couple of nice additions on this blog this time.

Gargoyle

Gobbos

Barbarian

Very cool gargoyle, you never fail to find interesting models.

That gargoyle looks positively creepy, nice job! What range is it from?

The Gargoyles from Mantic Games bit of a battle with the restic but not too bad.

Gnoll and Barbarian for you. Hoping to use the long weekend to get some models painted and plan my Salute purchases.

Bizarrely for Nurgle an Apothecary. He's converted from one of the NPC monk zombies from zombicide and is earmarked to provide an evil apothecary for Frostgrave as well.

Corruptor proving I'm still painting.

Corruptor is looking good, can'the go far wrong with a scary dude carrying a massive sword.

EDC

That corruptor is looking pretty impressive...

Cheers an excellent kit.
Frostgrave barbarian archer to begin

A Zombicide Torturer to provide some cultist muscle

and a host of Gobbos and Wolves

Pair of Gnolls, Frostgrave and Ral Partha

Zombies

Corruptor

and a Cultist Archer

Nice rusty Corruptor, loving the face.

Cheers Frostgrave cultist head

That corruptor is looking pretty intimidating. Nice work!

Yep they are an excellent kit and like all Avatars of War stuff it's highly recommended when it's in physical stock on preorder or when it's out of stock not so much due to production problems and general muck ups.

Just another Gnoll

Gobbos first

Wolves next

A Monk

and finally a Barbarian

Lots of interesting models, that monk is excellent work, really great stuff.

Thanks Camkierhi.
Just a simple Thief

and a Zombie Dancer

Mantic Gargoyle flitting in

Boarman

I like Midlam miniatures nice simple classic sculpts without the baroque ornacy of GW
Gnoll

will act as a Treasure Hunter for Frostgrave
and some Deadeye Archers

Zombies

Barbarian

and Zombie Dwarf

A Gnoll Trap Expert and some Zombie Wolves this time.

Nice Zombie Wolves - Are they from ZC Black Plague?

Yep Wulfburg expansion nets you 21 of them.

A lot of stuff for you tonight
Goblins first

Then a Ranger from the Frostgrave Barbarians

A Marksman for my Cultists assembled using a Frost Grave Scandinavian/Russian body.


Now for a few bits and bobs from Zombicide
Zombies

Executioner

Grin

Excellent model this perfect for a Nurgle Sorceror or aa Frostgrave Wizard deligtfully understated as well.

The basic Abomination

More Zombiez

and evil archers.

A pair of female zombies

and a Gnoll Daemon Hunter for Frostgrave because why can't Gnolls hate Daemons

Barbarian Archer and a Gnoll first



Then a Zombie Troll

as well as an Arab, some Houndz and some gruntz.

Nice work, those Frostgrave models are pretty cool.

Any chance of a group shot of all your fantasy Zombicide survivors and one of the zombies as well?

Really cool zombie troll too !

Cheers Guys. Group shot might be on the cars at some point certainly by the end of the challenge anyway!

The Zombicide Troll was a delight to paint and a cultist as well

Goblins

Goblins look good there - they're the The Hobbit ones, right?

Yep brought a box at my FLGS when they were going cheap. Some of the nicest monopose plastics I've seen.

Loving the troll work. Goblins are looking great too.

Cheers guys. Slightly dissappointed with how badly the troll did in the painting competition. Didn't expect it to come dead last. Ah well c'est la vie and I'm still happy with him.

Frostgrave Barbarian

Zombicide Zombie Dwarf

Zombies

Mutant Zombies

These'll definitely fit in with the Beastmen
Archerz

and an Executioner

A Barbarian to start

followed by a Gargoyle

then more Zombies

including a Hooker

and the Abominalpha

Could have done with a more contrasty tone between the flayed skins and the creatures skin.

Start with a normal Chaos Warrior

add Gargoyles and Gnolls


season with Zombies giving you my Nurgle blog recipe



The final two are Queen Medea and Troy

This blog is fairly distinct from where I started chronicling a fairly normal Beastman and then Warriors of Chaos army. This blog now basically hosts models I consider appropriate usually acquired for Frostgrave bestiaries or as parts of board games rather than as components for an army. This'll continue to function for that but I doubt I'm going to do much purchasing at all specifically for this. Equally if KoW takes off some of the Herd and Varangur units might be deliberately added. I've still got plenty to paint that fits this theme as well so it won't end anytime soon but it might gradually decay.......

Gradually decaying ehhh....

Classic Blood Bowl mutant ideal for my Nurgle forces and a Pigman also bang on for the original theme!

Zombies and an Abomination also fit well.

Quite a few models for my Nurgle force.

Zombie cook with converted rolling pin.

Archerz

A Gargoyle only one more to go and their all painted.

Mantic Zombie Troll
and finally the first three Evil Dwarves from Massive Darkness.

Glad I'm catching this project at the beginning.

One skill of yours that I've always been impressed by is how you use models from any range / scale and turn them into a cohesive force. RAFM and Ral Partha have as much a home in your collection as GW and Mantix.

Looking forward to seeing how this project goes.

Nice work as per usual, but that Zombie Troll especially looks great. The glistening wounds look particularly effective.

Those dwarfs look particularly vicious, some nice models you got there!

Great conversions!

Thanks a lot everybody. Over time at work is going to cut down the painting time for a while. Equally plenty of money for toys just as the Time of Legends Pledge Manager go's up.

Zombie Arab and Dwarf



Klom an Ogrey thing

Bummer on the overtime but hooray for money.

And speaking of ranges, where is Klom an Ogrey thing from?

Also, I just realized your dwarf is holding an axe from the mid-90's Chaos Warriors plastic set. Might you have any extra of those you'd be willing to part with? I've been working on finishing up my collection of those Chaos Warriors and am patiently waiting for fate to drop some of those axes onto my modeling table.

It would be a transatlantic bit swap but I possibly do will check for you. Klom is a Zombicide model from the Paul Bonner guest box.

I'm sure I have a thousand different things you'd have an interest in and would happily make a trade for them. If you can't think of anything in particular you'd be looking for I'll put together a care package of bitz and a few other surprises.

I skipped the dead eye walkers when I backed zombicide. If you have used them do they add positively to the game?

Ok Skalk I'll check what I've still got for you care package sounds excellent. I might have less of the old Chaos Warrior bits left than I think however so I'll PM you after I check.

Carlos 13th. Yes the Deadeye Walkers do add positively to the game as they make the Zombies far more dangerous and hard to avoid forcing you to be more sneaky and providing far more of an element of risk if your caught out in the open. They allow the Zombies far more board control and make you have to be far more sneaky. In some ways their almost too effective but it definitely adds more tactics to the game.

More Zombies as well
Mutiez just for fun

and a Zombie Monk who can also stand in as an Apprentice in Frostgrave

Zombie Monk - Zombiecide miniature? I'm always in the market for another Necromancer for my Deadwalkers, Don't like the current GW one at all and I'm not happy with the one I am using.

Yep from one of the NPC Zombie boxes. Great fun the Zombicide series has been a great source of character models as well as the zombies for me.

Just another Pigman.

Good batch of some of the bigger Zombicide monsters for you today.
But first a Gnoll

Zombie Executioner

Doctor Stormcrow

and now the Monsters
Black Currant earmarked for use as a foot Daemon Prince

and the mighty Abominarat

And echoing my reply to your other thread, I'm getting back into Mordheim and that Executioner would make an AWESOME Cultists so long as he's scale. Any change you could take a pic of him next to a WFB model? Nice conversion btw.

The Abominarat is my pick of the lot. That's just disgusting. Well done.

Great stuff - my favorites from the most recent round are the Abnomarat and the garden gnome giant with skulls. : )

+1 for the Abominarat! would fit nicely in any kind of game system

Cheers guys. Short answer is yes Skalk he'll be fine with GW models in a Chaos cult I'll take a shot to prove it at some point.

Cool, thank you for that. I haven't pulled out my Cultists yet but Mordheim is going strong here. I missed it a lot more than I though.

Heres the scale shot Skalk

Beefier but I like that in a cultist executioner.

Got a fair amount painted since I last posted
A dancer and a jester from Zombicide


A Cultist and Barbarian based on Fireforge plastics.


A Corruptor

A Gargoyle

and last but not least some Barbarians from Massive Darkness

Nice variety of minis as usual, great work bud.

Cheers Camkierhi
Less variety this time it's my grey Wolfbomination from Zombicide

Nasty

Werewolves are the only "not real" thing I've ever been afraid of. Irrational yes, but the reaction is no less real to me.

Model is awesome though. That might make it onto my Mordheim table for a monster scenario.

Cheers I got the Zombicide stuff primarily for Warhammer if I'm honest and rebased it for that then Age of Sigmar happened. These models will work excellently in Mordheim and I've got him earmarked for Frostgrave as well. Worth a look for you Skalk different enough to Mordheim to be interesting and some excellent kits to play with.

Just picked up the Wolfbomination and 5 wolves on eBay.

Look who showed up today! And brought friends!



I'm making stats for it now. I'll have to playtest it a few times but it's going to be an intentional warband breaker for sure.

Excellent!
Some Archerz

and an Evil Princess

as well as the Dread Sorceror To-me Ku-pa

All from Zombicide. I've almost finished Black Plague but then this arrived


Cool

Snow White has succumbed to the dark side, and Zombicide has gone fantasy. It's amazing what you can miss in a few years.

Great. Now I have to buy a Sorcerer too.

Really like the skeletons! Shade came out great.

Cheers you two.
More Zombies


This bones gnoll is far bigger than the Frostgrave or Ral Partha ones but works well as a Flind for an Ogre sized support model for the band.

A Gnoll Thug

with his Hyena pet

a zombie Matron

and a Cultist for your pleasure today

More Zombies for you
The final basic Black Plague Zombies

Minstrel

and Trader

I'm coming to the end of Zombicide and will finish it before I start on the Green Horde.

Minstrel is looking charming

Thanks.
More Zombicide stuff
A priest painted in an appropriate colour scheme for this force.

and a Vampire/wizardy Zombie

Just some Massive Darkness Barbarians

Just how massive is the darkness?????

Is your best answer. Scales well with Warhammer and 40k some nice Orcs and evil Dwarves as well as various heroes and monsters. Core games well worth a look. On to miniatures
Hasslefree Gnoll

Centaur from LOKA

and a Dwarf from Zombicide

Glad I never laid out all my massive darkness stuff like that .

They finally released the elementals for massive darkness too.

Haven't seen them at retail yet and uhhh with the models I've got from Mythic Battles Pantheon and Reaper opening a UK stockist I probably won't bother.

There are models which just make you want to buy things. This guy got me into Zombicide and big board game kickstarters.



He also means I finally have everything for Black Plague painted.....
Also have a Barbarian

Pretty disgusting zombie minotaur there

The Ratbomination was what got me in on it .
Nice work on your Black Plague guys, I admire your dedication to finishing all these guys off. I know it’s a Hugh undertaking.

So much great stuff, you have had a brilliant year bud, merry Christmas and looking forward to more from you in the new year.

Cheers guys been awhile.
Blurry barbarian

and some Massive Darkness Chaos Dwarves

Saw those last guys and thought you had gone in to mass production of Yosemite Sam!!

Great work bud, nice to see you back.

Cheers Camkierhi my Chaos forces generally act more like looney tunes villains than cold brooding elites when I role the dice I'm afraid.

Pair of Gnolls for your entertainment. Also delightedto say Warlords of Erewhon is attracting interest at the club so Ill be getting some games in.

I haven’t heard any mire on Warlords of nowhere recently (can’t not make fun of the name as it’s so blatant), but how are the mechanics? I have Antares, but is it just a reskin or did they fix problems within the system?

Hard to say as I don't play Antares. The mechanics will have issues I'm sure but they give quick brutal combat. Mechanically it's very simple but I'm sure complexities will come to light. It's certainly a good solid game but I need to play against more people whove read the rulebook before I can really discuss mechanics. They've certainly been tweaked to give far more unit variety than Bolt Action as it should be.

Just going to D10 makes for more variety to bolt action. I’ll have to add it to my want list. I’m just a little worried that this will be another warlord games pump and dump.

Meh theres enough content in the book with about a dozen or so index lists there that frankly it won't need long term support. I hope it gets it but the right kind. Fantasy kitchen sink and more variety added rather than knuckling down on an original setting. Excellent fluff pieces in the book however.

A mutant and a barbarian for your pleasure

Some Massive Darkness models for you today


Happy with the Formorian less so with the Barbarians

More Massive Darkness stuff

Troglodyte Shaman

Nightmare Thing

and an actual GW model

Converted to a Frostgrave Foulhorn

Wonderful catch up, great stuff, so much win.

Cheers Cam less exciting than the last batch just some Chaos Dwarves from Massive Darkness.

Love the beard on those dwarves , great color, what did you use to bring those about?

Cheers Theophony just Vallejo Tan Yellow with Brown ink above it.

Been a while since I've posted but I've been painting.
We'll start with a pair of Frostgrave barbarians.

Simple generic and plenty of uses.

This Frosgrave Gnoll also fits.

This Ral Partha Gnoll converted into a Shaman is a bit more specific.


This Pigman champion is an excellent Midlam miniatures model really seems like a hero.


Finishing with a Heresy maggotman which I gave a disgusting look with PVA glue.

I've had other projects but this was my first blog on Dakka and never quite go's away. I'll keep on painting models which fit the theme in appropriate schemes which will mean the host will continue to expand. I've got my eye on a few of the fauns from Red Box Games to expand this force. This time it's Dwarves, a barbarian and a random bones critter.

Llamahead,

That last one is going to give me nightmares.

Cheers,

CB

Fantastic imagination on display here. Great stuff.

Oh man, that classic Ral Partha Gnoll brings back some memories...circa 1989. I seem to recall the set had an actual Shaman model in it.

Great work here. Do you get to play Frostgrave much? Or are these all for Massive Darkness? D&D?

Cheers Captain Brown and Camkierhi.

Fango I think I've got the Shaman possibly but the 2nd hand set I brought wasn't particularly complete. Can't complain it was from a charity shop with an amazing section of old citadel models in Oxford. Literally hundreds of classic models. I spent a lot there and hopefully will someday again. Currently this collection is just that a collection I'll play whatever fantasy games I can get with it. At the moment there is an FLGS near me which runs Frostgrave biweekly so I'm trying to get there but I'll happily use this collection in any game going. I've used it in Warhammer (it started out with the old Beasts of Chaos book and ran through from 7th to 8th possibly a bit of 6th as well), Kings of War, Open Combat, Warlords of Erewhon Zombicide & Frostgrave and would like to use it in Dragons Rampant as well. If I had to I'd use them in AoS but I genuinely consider either Dragons Rampant or Warlords of Erewhon superior games.I like it to be easy to remember what units do and universal special rules make that far simpler than unique unit special rules while still giving the same level of tactical complexity. I haven't actually played Massive Darkness yet.... The advantage of Fantasy is that its much easier to use a variety of models than it is in sci-fi an axe is an axe and a sword is a sword but sci-fi weapons are much more specific and need to be so to be fair to your opponent. Also I've brought models so I'll paint them I can work out a use afterwards. After that more models.

A Gnoll Trap Expert

A Loka Centaur

and from Massive Darkness Barbarians with the Agent

as well as the Cliffbreaker Cyclops

Yep I have him for any game I need a giant stone throwing Cyclops why limit myself to using him in only one?

I've also made these Chosen from the Sequitors contained in Mortal Realms first issue fairly simple conversion but they are certainly Chosen rather than Blight Kings as they don't have the yuck factor.

More stuff for the force mainly from Massive Darkness but some other stuff as well.
Massive Darkness Barbarians and Dwarf

Massive darkness High Troll

Reaper Beastman and Brigand

Heresy Miniatures Maggotman

Thog from Conan

Bunch of Chaos Dwarves ones from Chronopia and the rest are from Massive Darkness

Spiky stunties look good, but I'm really liking the previous post, Thog is great.

Been a while and cheers Monkeytroll.
More Chaos Dwarves from Massive Darkness to begin with.

Coming close to the end of these actually.
A Hogman and Maggotman (Midlam and Heresy)

Warriors from Reaper and Avatars of War

Frostgrave and Massive Darkness Barbarians

and finally Lord Tusk

Hated this model's huge impractical sword originally so I replaced it with tentacles and now he's a Chaos Ogre who I genuinely like.

Fantastic stuff, those chaos dwarves are great!

Cheers Mate
A Gnoll

A Massive Darkness Construct and some Chaos Dwarves


I've got the models for this project from Massive Darkness done but between Reaper, Cthulu Death May Die and Bloodborne I've got plenty of gribbly eldritch abominations which can join these guys. I'm also going to do a block of Stormcast Chosen and I've still got some old Chaos models to paint so expect this blog to continue pootling along for this year. While I'm currently planning on picking up some Frostgrave Daemons if I do that'll be for a new none Nurgle project.

Barbarian from Frostgrave

Reaper Swamp Troll

and finally the Hellephant

This is the model that sold me Massive Darkness. I'm also really happy with the paint job.

There's been a bit of talk on some plogs about finishing projects lately. Well this is a project I'm happy to say will never get finished. It's got to a playable level and is certainly not just unpainted but I'll be adding elements whenever I fancy. This is a good healthy place for a project to be. Equally I could argue that the army is finished while the collection isn't.

Simple Bones Warrior

That could be a verbatim statement regarding my hobby philosophy. My Chaos Warriors aren't done, I just don't have anything new to paint for them. My Necromunda terrain could always stand another weathering wash, or a dial box, or a hanging cable. Nothing is every truly "done" unless I decide that it is. I was bothered by my unfinished projects for a few years until I accepted that truly nothing is ever actually done until I'm done, and by done I mean "estate sale". It's made my approach to hobby time a lot less stressful and judgemental.

So I've been checking my blogs to put up a review piece but what I said after the Gnoll cheftain pretty much somes it up I want to post more often next year but nothing rreally new will be added to this bunch. I've got Stormcast Chosen and Frostgrave Demons which may end up here when I feel like it but no big purchases are planned it'll just be a fun change of pace for when I feel like it.

Nice simple Reaper lesser Demon.

I also may have lied about not adding any more to this army I acquired another box of Frostgrave Demons (lovely models excellent for Chaos) and another box of Cultists at Hammerhead yesterday whoopsie.

Ah the old mini creep syndrome. Know it well.

Great work recently, love it all.

Cheers thanks coming from you that means a lot

Forgt when I painted this Failing Wretch from Frostgrave.

Just realised this blog is 13 years old and still juddering along and wiith that a female cultist archer from Frostgrave plastics.

Reaper Giant Leech with heavy use of a simple PVA slime effect.

Tainted Abomination from Zombicide brilliant Undead beastman monstery thing

Random crazed man with an Axe for an arm as you do.

As you do, obviously.!

Love the slimy leech. Perfectly done.

Cheers Camkierhi

Catman archer, As I've always preferred the anarchic look of many different kinds of animals rater than purely goat heads.

Just some toy flies I brought for Harpies


Automatically Appended Next Post:
12 years ago oof.....But really useful for Rangers of Shadow Deep or Frostgrave

An ancient Minotaur Lord I picked up 7 years ago from a charity shop in Oxford. I followed my army colour scheme less than normal as I wanted him for Frostgrave primarily.

Awesome. Excellent bud. Love the miniature.

Cheers mate heres a Reaper Hill giant

Simple Reaper Troll rather happy with the result.

Looks just like my Mrs when she's about to slap me......perfect.

Hopefully this'll be less likely t get Camkierhi in trouble with his missus.

Simple Reaper Warrior went Chaos purely with paint as they are definitely not the right scale to go with my Perry models.

Gnoll Tracker lovely Frostgrave metal sculpt

Crone from Reaper seems to have flaked badly. I use acrylic craft paint as primer anything better for the job?

Halloween toy flies again but the bigger size.

I'm a sucker for old miniatures so I love the Minotaur Lord you painted up. It totally fits the scheme you've been doing, so well done.

re: primer, I always use cheap flat black rattlecan primer. I've tried the really expensive stuff and found that it can obscure detail even when I'm being careful. I don't know if Wal-Mart has made its way over there but surely you have an equivalent. Whatever they have for bottom shelf flat black, give it a try.

Love Crone, nice interesting model.

Ehh that works fine for plastics I use one of the equivalents Bones though have an odd response to it it basically remains permamently sticky. Yep Crnes an excellent model from the Reaper Bones line. Well worth a browse for something more esoteric.

Man thats a dusty photograph. Frostgrave plastic treasure hunter blogged up here as I wanted something on this blog and she can definitely find use as a cultist.

Simple Frostgrave Barbarian got the women delivered recenty it's a really nice dynamic kit.

Frostgrave Leechwolves but the Gribble Factor makes them appropriate for this blog

I do have a soft spot for those leech wolves, and indeed the giant leeches from Teaper. Must get a bunch some day! Lovely work here, mate, always a pleasure dropping by to see what you’ve been churning out!

Cheers Ragsta

Frostgrave Demon. Plenty more of these chaps to come as it's an excellent kit I really enjoy. The styles great and I feel an army of these chaps might happen equally I've been assembling them to get the variants I want as Frostgrave critters so full regiments may take a while. It's also time to review where I am this year with the project and realise that I'm in roughly the same place I was last year Stormcast Chosen and Frostgrave Demons with random Reaper models when they fit the theme of the army more aiming for Frostgrave villainy than anything else. Might look at getting some fantasy going at the cllub but too many games and not enough time will keep this project on the back burner pleasantly adding models if and when I feel like it. Healthy hobby modelling and painting great. Incidetally some toy bashes may well appear here and I do have that War Mammoth herd to play with.

A Reaper Carrion Worm bunged up here but likely to be used more often in Frostgrave

Just some flies

Werearmadillo just because...

Where the heck do you find these sculpts! An armadillo for Peter sake! Brilliant. Love it.

I blame Kid Kyoto as that's what browsing the Reaper site does to your collection....Also a lot of it is attending Wargames Shows and following the more obscure manufacturers. Board Games especially CMON style games are another excellent source of random crazy miniatures. Now for a fairly simple Hasslefree Gnoll for your viewing pleasure.

Just a simple Chaos Warrior from the Frostgrave Daemon kit which is absolutely excellent for these.

RGD games Satyrs oddly enough make pretty convincing Gor. At 40 a box they'll probably work out fr cheaper than the GW kits......

Another Frostgrave Demon an excellent kitvery much recommended for anybody who wants to play with fantasy Chaos.

I love your flocking mix, it looks so much like a summer forest floor

Chosen based on a Stormcast model I've finally got one of these painted after first mentioning doing it a couple of years ago. February 2020 yeekkk....The scatter mix is a bunch of Javis scatter flocks made for railway moodelling mostmodel shops will stock it the secret is to mix a variety of bags to make a more realistic mixture I also add twigs,ballast and coconut fibers as well as home made clump foliage.

Shoggoth from Death may Die. Ideal for a Chaos Spawn I'll eventually make a couple of base adaptors to use these models in square based games.

More of the Chosen using Stormcast make for far bigger larger Chosen.These are also Chosen not Blight Kings which would be far more mutated. Having these shows that the army is still more rooted in the old worlde wather than the AoS oddly enough.

Another Warrior from a Frostgrave Daemon.

Simply using Mantic Daemon arms on a Frostgrave Wizard with a cultist head gives a rather nice fire ball throwing psycho.

Another Frostgrave demon receives paint.

Nubble from Archon Studios makes a rather satisfying Nurgle Spawn as he seems far too dopey for a Daemon Prince. Now how do I see this project continuing in it's 15th year? Slowly and steadily depending on what my gaming group decides to do I might well decide to use this army in the Olde Worlde if enough friends are interested if not I'll continue adding models as I see fit minly more of the Stormcast Chosen and Frostgrave Daemons but I've still got plenty of models to paint if I've got a hankering to. It'll never be a major project again but I quiet enjoy dabling in odd models. I havent made this project a focus for about 10 years but sometimes its nice to use the old styles.

Reaper Knight painted in this scheme for some variety as the scale works better with this lot than my Historicals.

Another of these Chosen 5 years after I came up with the plan hmm.

Reaper Dire Boar it's the same concept as a Razorgor just far simpler and better executed an excellent example of less being more.

With the theme for the painting challenge being "Let's finish this" I've decided to finallysplash some paint on this fellow who's been waiting for paint for some ten years.

Another of my Chosen I'm mentally divided on Stormcast there excellent models in the main but the background does nothing for me. As a source of Basemodels though I like them more and more as I play with them.

RGD games Satyrs. An excellent kit at 40 for £29 with a wide variety of heads and weapons they are therefore brilliant at bulking out beastman armies. With the green tattos and the midnight blue they can be used both in this army and with my Mythic Greeks as well.
