More toybashing it's just fun and big critters are nice and simple to paint.

Earmarked as a -grave beasty suitable for either fantasy or science fiction.

Sec-Op simpleEisenkern trooper really quick and simple to paint

I do love the Eisenkern figs

Lizardman for Stargrave. Standard Wargames Atlantic Lizardman I'm of 2 minds about this kit I really like the core kit and I like all the seperate options for the arious genres but I'd also like more options for each genre as there's not much variety if you make the kit completely as 1 genre. Really nice models and probbly my favourite plastic lizardman kit.

Reaper Wizard nice and simple for Frostgrave

With Halloween nearly here the cheap packs of toy bugs are back in the shops.....

Nice to get this model photographed I think Malleus the Warrior Priest is the final model I have to post up from Massive Darkness finished painting it up ages ago but still hadn't posted this.

Some models take ages to put up and some models you just really like and put up straight away. This is one of the later, Gannicus is Zombicides tribute to Muhammed Ali who I plan to use as a mystic warrior for Frostgrave.

More Sec-Corp peaked cap cannon fodder from Wargames Atlantic with Stargrave arms. I'm planning to use a bunch of these guys in support of the Eisenkern as auxiliary forces for Stargrave scenarios

Beadbots surprisingly fun and fiddly. Been watching Red Dwarff on Amazon lately and I think something scutter inspired might have to happen.

Been a while since I've posted one of these up here. Doing the whole start of year project review thing. For a long time micro scale science fiction was most of my modelling and while recently I've been neglecting it for 28mm I still really like them currently I'm planning to continue neglecting it (several friends are interested in 15mm sci-fi which does have an appeal but I'm heavily invested in 6mm). Stargrave also means its currently less of a palette ceanser than it was equally intriguingly Battletech may be starting at the club which would allow these to get some use. So currently no planned purchases and just an aimless desire to play some games.

These are probably going to be used in Stargrave and are not the beginning of a Necron Army but I had the full squad painted and thought I might as well discuss army based games. Now I have a complete painted force for Beyond the Gates of Antares but only one regular opponent. I'm hmming and hahing about One Page Rules. GW rules have too short of a shelf life for my taste. Firefight is another option but too model specific my Eisenkern and crew are approaching army scale already and some interesting rules suggestions for them would be appreciated. I'm looking for something light and not too model specific any recommendations?

First model from Death may Die. A cthulu minion called a Hunting Horror. At the moment board game wise I've just finished Conan but have the expansion to do. I'm currently painting up the Green Horde for Zombicide and Time of Legends Joan of Arc as well for the rest of the year I'll carry on painting these. I've got plenty of board game miniaturess to do with Mythic Battles Pantheon, Rising Sun, Village Attacks, Blood born and Wild West Zombicide not touched yet. The plan is to gradually bung these models on the desk mainly focussing on Death may Die for now.

Megalasaur mix and match critter inspired by early palaeo art expect more of these chappies as their fun to do. I'm going to try and do more scratchbuilding this year with these, more beadbots and some wire constructs on the cards. I've fond loads of great tutorials for these chappies and plenty of other ones to try. The Frostgrave bestiarys provide excellent inspiration for which models to create and I've got plenty of daft ideas.

Really happy with this. Frostgrave lady for scale with the scratchbuilt house.


I've built several more. They are heavily inspired by https://www.youtube.com/@DevsDice combined with https://www.youtube.com/@WylochsArmory from the Baldurs Gate video with the core walls being made with a cereal box - double corrugated card - cereal box sandwich. Then the floor is added with corrugated card glue gunned in and tiled with card. After that it's clad with coffee stirrers and lolipop sticks with the roof and floors being bodged with more coffee stirrers balsa wood and card slates. It's painted with a texture paint using a thin version of The Terrain Tutors recipe. Eventually the plan is to build enough to cover a 6x4ft board with urban ruins.

The dino kitbash turned out great-- the various parts are seamless. I like the house, as well- a whole table of buildings like this will be a blast to play on.

Very nice house mate !

Cheers

Sorceress (who needs another dust) for Frostgrave. Frostgrave has been my favourite game for a couple of years now as it's a fun swings and roundabouts skirmish game and frankly I like being familiar with the ruleset and being able to have fun. Painting and modelling wise I've got the female barbarian kit which I've been playing with although my Cultists and sprue of Ghost Archipelago crewmen have gained guns and are heading into Stargrave. So now as I have a larger cast than I could almost ever need I'll just paint as I fancy although thekits are some of my favourite to just play with. So no plans for new warbands just various fun fantasy models.

Generic Trooperfrom the Stargrave kit I enjoy painting random camo schemes and for my irregular faction I'll keep on doing it I have 3 Stargrave factionny things currently.
Seccorp comprises of Eisenkern and Cannon fodder as a general black uniformed army nice and easy to paint they definitely need the Female Cannon Fodder and have gradually become an army. I'd like to add power armour and heavy weapons support as well as a ship and vehicles to this lot.
My irregular faction consists of standard Stargrave models and is painted on the basis of what I fancy and think would look good is right I have several done in rebel flightsuits and groups in random camos. All good fun. i could actually do with more Captains and leader models for this lot. Shenanigan probably belongs here and as thy release more Stargrave plastics will be added to this bunch.
The Cult of Mithras has been kitbashed from Stargrave plastics and the Frostgrave Cultists I see them as humanity first fanatics and will happily use these as generic cannon fodder and a bad guy crew.
I would like to add a bug faction force for some of the scenarios and to play Operation Last Train.
While I have loads of models for this I'm really enjoying the painting and kitbashing of all of it so I'll definitely be adding more it's great to have the freedom to model what I like and since giving up on 40k due to the amunt of books required I've really missed it.

Fire Beetle from Frostgrave. My menagerie is the last thing to consider. I think I have proxy models for everything in the first book and can go back and check might be fun to go through and do a post by post entry. I've mainly discussed what I want to do with the scratchbuild bit earlier but I'll just continue grinding out the models which catch my fancy. I've also decided to split this blog into 2 one for science fiction and on for fantasy to get a move on on my posting backlog.

Nice bug.

Thanks!
As I've said before I've got a bit of a post backlogto make it go quicker I've decided to start a new blog for my Fantastical Hijinks keeping Science Fiction Shenanigans here. this is as I actually have more random minions for Stargrave and Frostgrave as well as the boardgames unposted than I do for my various fantasy armies and without further ado here's a stargrave mystic.

I see her as a Solar priestess leading worshippers in some form of cult whether benevolent or malevolent might be up to my whims.

Dusty Seccorp trooper

Ooh . Eisenkern?

Yep Wargames Atlantic version and I'll be acquiring more as they expand the range

Morgan from Death may Die painted up as Indiana Jones because why not?

Stargrave trooper with the Cadian Flamer showing how unnecessary the fuss was when the sprue didn't come with one.

For some reason the idea of daemon posessed barbed wire both makes my skin crawl and is one of the most 40k ideas ever made literally just by making a wire armature and coiling wire around it these critters are just plain nasty

That's a nifty idea!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxaolUMIxKY Is the video which inspired me to finally do it and now for something less inspiring but useful a Shotgun toting Rebel Alliance inspired Codebreaker for Stargrave.

I also got to Hammerhead in Newark this weekend and treated myself to some plastic cowboys for Firefly inspired crewmen and Wargames Atlantics female cannon fodder to give Seccorp some girl grunts as well as Xenos Rampant and John Lambshead's Sci-fi scenario book.

Bill Making stuff is fantastic. A great source of inspiration.
