Another thread I didn't know about. You always amaze me with the sheer volume you produce.

Landsknechts? Yes. Do that. Every army needs massive polearms and enormous swords.

Thanks guys. Cheers Skalk. Another batch of roughly the same size this time.

Batch painting infantry keeps it tolerable and mixes the colours nicely.

More Soldiers enter the fray.

Changed the blog title as I've began the painting of a new army which I'd rather bung with this lot than set up seperately. It's Undead mainly Mantic and Zombicide models as well as the host of Undead I've got from other Board Games and picked up for Frostgrave at some point I'll work out what I've got and tally it. But heres the first troopers simple Mantic Skeletons

Don't worry the Army of New Haven will continue to expand as shown here.

More soldiers for the force.

Mantic Undeads today Dwarf King Holds Dwarf King oddly enough and some Loka Skellies. Picked out the jewellry as loot and to give an idea that the ghost is powered by them.

Those are some good looking skellies! Are you planning on tidying up the bases a little? If you scraped the scraps of grass of the sides and painted them a nice solid black or brown it would help the models pop a lot more.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers Commander Cain probably will at some point.

Pike & Shotte troopers and a Perry Light Cavalryman.

All Undead today
CP models Wraith. Big imposing heavy metal.

Zombicide Necromancer

and Conan Mummies

as you can see my Undead model will comprise mostly of random board games elements with a backbone of the 100 skeleton deal I picked up last Black Friday from Mantic games.

Those mummies are fun, nice and creepy looking.

Cheers Amazingturtles.
Skellies for you

and Troopers to face them

Undead army out of boardgame miniatures should be easy with zombicide and massive darkness in your fold. I hope a second massive darkness comes along with more of the current species fleshed out and maybe some PC of those species to use as characters .

Sounds good I'd like a version of Zombicide with more gothic Undead, Vampires, Skeletons, Wights and Banshees as well as Zombies myself.

Two more elite models for my Undead this time
Heresy Ghoul Child

Mantic Wight


My humans received a few more Cavalry and some basic troopers.

First of all thats a Wraith not a Wight.
Secondly I picked up some new toys lately a couple of boxes of Landsknecht with Zweihander and Landsknecht Missile Troops. Nice models work fine with my Perry stuff and the ECW range.

Heres the Zweihander Sprue

This box comes with 12 Zweihander wielders and 12 Halberdiers for £16. GW equivalent is £41. Yeah. Equally there are three major caveats to this box no head or body variety from the Pikeman sprue and only en garde or advancing poses. The final one is the Halberdiers are reliant on a metal upgrade sprue and are hybrid models. Equally excellent for the price. I hope eventually this box is phased out for a full Zweihander and Halberdier box myself. No Command Sprue as well.

Now the Missile Troops

This box comes with 30 missile troops for £18. GW equivalent is £46.50. Excellent box variant bodies and some variant heads sadly some are repeats from the Pike sprue but not too many. The main qualm with this box is that their is one common arm between both the Handgun and the Crossbow. This means using the rest of the weapons on spare bodies are not encouraged. Also the poses and equipment is far less varied than the Perry WOTR models who have several intricate mechanisms for the Crossbow rather than the standard one used here and a greater variety of poses.

Still neither of these are stinkers to avoid and both are good fun kits. Also with Warlord teasing Warlords of Erewhon I have a feeling I'll be scratching my fantasy gaming itch with smething other than board games soon.

Sorry if it's been mentioned but who makes those?

Warlord Games.

Been awhile.

Human reinforcements.

Undead mainly Mantic with a Heresy ghoul.

More Undead for the host

More Skeletons

First of the Green Horde.
I've got a copy of Warlords of Erewhon on order so I'm hoping to get a few games in with these two forces in the near future.

More Zomborcs from the Green Horde

and some elite reinforcements for the host

Not quite sure what to count the Orcs and Rats as in KoW.

Fairly dull more Warlord ECW for my humans.

I've also got a game of Warlords of Erewhon and it's good clean fun attracting interest at the club. Hopefully I'll be ableto use both these forces far more.

Had the last 2 weeks of to use up my leave before April and still had enough leave to take Salute week off.....So I've blown it on painting and modelling. Only got a couple of Undead models done.

I've also got some reinforcements for the Army of New Haven and made up the new light box.

Just a plastic cake box with some cardboard hills flocked.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also you may remember I received this little lot from Kickstarter a while ago.


Well I've finally picked up the rank and file to go with them all Victrix models so far from my FLGS. I brought 2 boxes of Unarmoured Hoplites, boxes of Athenian and Mercenary Armoured Hoplites, Peltasts, Light Cavalry, Heavy Cavalry and War Elephants. Heres sprue shots
Athenian Armoured Hoplites

Mercenary Armoured Hoplites

Unarmoured Hoplites

Peltasts

Archers

Slingers

Heavy Cavalry

Light Cavalry

Horses

Elephant Crew

Elephants


Colour scheme and background are a bit up in the air at the moment. They ceratinly won't be Spartans however as two other people at the club have acquired those forces for Hail Caesar/Warlords of Erewhon.

Been working on another Cavalryman

and a fair few more Undead

as well as acquired some more slingers and archers from Salute. The archers are Black Tree Design Metals while the slingers are the nice Victrix Plastics. Irritating thing about these are the fact that the Unarmoured Hoplites don't produce a simple Spear at rest pose as they are the same body as the Peltasts. Got quite a few assembled will get around to a few unpainted shots.

Back to the Army of New Haven with some artillery.


Warlord Games Cannon model I've also got a bunch of Zombicide artillery I plan to complete various crews for.

Undead mainly from the Conan Boardgame with a Mantic Revenant and a Fireforge/Frostgrave cross for some variety

Landsknecht

and Undead

Reinforcements for the Army of New Haven classic GW foot knight and a Loka wizard as well as the usual suspects. Incidentally Wave 2 of Joan of Arc has same in so I'll be doing a load of work in 15mm as well...

Llamahead,

Love your 16th century army figures.

Cheers,

CB

Cheers Captan Brown. There'll be more on the way but first Undead.
First some Plague Ratz from Black Plague

Some Elites all Mantic. Wraith and Revenant are self explanatory horsey thing is from Loka.

Some more rank & file. Mantic Skeletons, Black Plague Zombie Orcs and Conan mummies

Some Liches and a familar Warlock from the Conan Game, Skeleton from Loka and familiar from Guilds of Cadwallon

Lastly some monsters a Skeletal Owlbear from Reaper and The Black Shadow from Conan which I'll use as a massive Ghoul thing.

Just bunging a bunch of finished stuff for the Army of New Haven

Really happy about how the disparate elements combine into a single force with the paint. As it's the year end I'd thought I'd review where I am with the projects. This is one with which I'm happy with where I'm at unlike the Ancient Greeks where I haven't even started painting I'm making steady progress with this force. I've also added the first 15mm elements to the collection with the models from Joan of Arc.

Lovely models fun to paint and I'll definitely consider expanding my 15mm forces sometime next year.

It's neat to see all the progress you have made! The undead are excellently creepy, as usual

Cheers its less impressive when you realise it's more posting backlog than pace however.
Got a bunch more Undead for you. This project has now reached the stage where I just need to crank out models. I have however added a regiment of Undead dinosaurs over the holidays, Expect to see stable expansion throughout the year I'm highly tempted by some of the GW start collecting sets for them and the Nighthaunt issues of Conquest are appealing to say the least. The Ossiarch Bone Reapers are also intriguing but I'll finish up what I've got first. Heres the models to join the fray.
A Ghoul

Some Spirits

Some Knights

A Golem

and a host of Skellingtons
