WiP Clonemart.

Nifty. Where are the tanks and computer consoles from?

They are from the Mantic Terrain crate Starship scenery. Once I got some more pieces painted I will take a pic of the set.

M.

Enforcer special char and DOG drone done. Still a bit further to go until I finish my Mantic Enforcer faction. (Then the plague zombies, not the zombies!!!!!1 )



M.

I'm currently working on 3 buildings with a near future/sci-fi look for skirmish gaming. They started as wooden boxes from the dollar shop. Some add ones and textured paint later...





More to come soonish.

M.

I was bored, my wife was away and I needed a bit of motivation to keep building terrain. It also helps to picture what I need to add to the building queue.





M.

That's a nifty set-up.

For regular 40K it might be too crowded. I have 2 more MDF buildings waiting construction, plus a score of fold-able papercraft containers. I might need some smaller area terrain pieces methinks.

M.

I haven't played 40K in years, but I seem to recall preferring a crowded table.

Last time I player my opponent set down 3 pieces of terrain, not that I did mind

Some more due pics







In all a fun kit to work with, even if some pieces ended up being used as a makeshift barricade because the legs were too badly twisted.

M.

Great looking pieces .

Your opponent wasn’t playing a shorty army was he . I always liked dense boards for 40k, but more sparse boards for fantasy so my big blocks could move easy.

So so shooty. Eldar clowns supported by a healthy dose of Dark Reapers.

No wonder he didn’t want any LOS blocking terrain then .

Time to bring back this thread from the dead and post a few images. The last few months were kind of a wash on the number of miniatures but I built some terrain for our anual meeting at Nagoya. In 2019 we decided to scale down and play just 1000 pts but maybe it's for the best as the lower point level makes for a more relaxing atmosphere as the real reason we meet each year is to see fellow players we would barely see otherwise.

I played against Necrons (loss), Nids (tie), and Nurgle Demons (win) with a Stormtrooper/Assassin list. In all a great day.

Here is my table. Yes too crowded for some, but I feel it still needs more terrain, at the very least another big building.




1st game against Necrons.

An Eversor visits a bunch of necrons camping their home objective.


2nd game vs Nids.
After a first turn shot from a Vindicare blew up a Zoanthrope the field went strangely quiet.

Oh, they are all here.

Also the sneaky bugs dug underground and ate my units for lunch.


3rd game vs Nurgle.
This game was a bad match. We were playing a modified reserve mission where we only could have up to 1/3rd of our army on turn one. Rolling for reserves starting turn 2. My oponent was unlucky because I managed to drop all my units save one on the second turn. Including all 3 missing assassins. Nurgle units are tought but not enough to wade through all the plasma I hurled at them. It was a lucky victory rather than skill on my part.

Everybody arrives and suddenly the nurglings feel lonely.

End game.


Thanks to all my opponents and the rest of the usual crew for my yearly dose of fun!

M.

Bringing this thread back from the dead so I motivate myself to chip away that pile of grey shame harder. It's not that I've been fighting the good fight since the last post but slower than I'd like.
Between my last post and today I've completed an Imperial Knight army composed by 3 big GW knights, and 4 alternate baby knights. Added a bunch of units to my Stormtroopers, and to my IG, returned to Battletech, and a few bits, and bobs more.

Today I bring you the latests pics. A Veteran IG KT.





Battletech Clanners and Inner Sphere.




Imperial Knights.



M.

I was supposed to be painting some Amazons, but got sidetracked as usual. At least it's one miniature almost finished



M.

Some very nice looking mechs! Pretty nice battalion there. And hey, it may not be amazons, but its one less unpainted guy on the pile.

God forbid me from sticking to just one project instead of jumpig all over the place. Looking forward to Ash Wastes.

M.

Since May I managed to finish a fair number of minis. Maybe not as much as I bought, but that's the bane of us all methinks. The last two figures of 2022 were these Pegasus scout bikes from Wz 1st Ed. They'll end up probably being proxied as eldar jetbikes in my count as army if I can get a third one. One of the things that helped me painting more miniatures during 2022 were contrast paints. Truly a great time saver for painters like me whe.n combined with slapchop.

My New Year's resolution won't be to paint more. I think I did well last year but to take better pictures, and share them in Dakka.

I wish you dakkaites a fructiferous 2023!

Another 2022 mini. A freebie Squat from GW. Again heavy use of contrast paint.

The first set of finished figures for 2023 is a Liao lance of the Syn's Hussars. Second line troops of questionable skills, nonetheless the cammo pattern of dark green with jade green highlights made them easy to paint. I swear that it' take me more time to settle down on a paint scheme than to paint them.



The Orion is 3d printed, the rest are from the KS.

M.

Another figure finished. Lately I've been very productive (Thanks Black Templar contrast). Not only I managed to paint quite a few figures from my backlog, but even I took some half decent pics. A bit dark though.



Warzone Fusilier sgt starting his career as an IG officer.

M.

From the recent Japanese of Imperium some necrons. I'm experimenting on another Warden but my skills are not up to task for the fancy metalic paints I bought so I'll leave you with a regular tabletop job.





and a hormagaunt I got from GW for "free". Unfortunately Dakka's gallery barely shows the contrast between dark grey and glossy black. Maybe I need to invest in a proper light box.



M.

Just finished building some space vampires that will be used in skirmish games.

M.

You have a wildly eclectic collection.

I'm living with that disease as well.

2000pts of glorious infantry (with some Tauros ti fill in the mandatory FA slot of a brigade)

M.

Ohhh yeahhhh just look at all that Guard goodness! I really like the use of Warzone models too,gives them some real flair. You should get more of those artillery pieces though… Very cool…

That is a lot of infantry!

It's in my to do list! Faceless goons are the best infantry, right?
