You HAVE been a busy boy!

Always a pleasure to see new work. How many painted figs do you have now?

Cheers over 660 finished this year lockdown was good for painting...... Skalk great to see you back! The answer is I don't know I've set myself the 365 challenge for the past 4 years and completed it then you add he fact I'm a bit of a hoarder and have been doing this for a couple of decades and it adds up.

Wow, that is an amazing amount of painting to get done. Nicely done! Even your 365 in a year is more ambitious than I think I would be able to handle.

Fortunately things like the Starships don't take too much time and I'm fairly much a base colour ink syle painter. Nothing complex for me.
Speaking of Starships
Federation



Commonwealth



I've been reviewing projects as I go this year and frankly with the Starfleets mainly I just want to continue painting them and having fun I've got loads of these ships but they are rather fun to paint so thats no chore. Scenery is he main thing I wan't to look at. I've got a bunch of polystyrene balls to paint up as planets and moons. So that should be added an easteroid field would be nice and I have a few stations to do as well. No purchases to be made or really desired for now although if the core game go's to £40 again I might pick up another........

I've always loved your starships.

Cheers Graven. I've been a bit behind with my posting lately so these are a bunch of models useful for Frostgrave which I've painted up over a while now.
Barbarian from Shieldwolf

Tribesmen from Warlord Games

Paladin from Shieldwolf

Peasants from Reaper Bones

Rangers from Reaper Bones

Arabs from Gripping Beast

Mercenaries from Fireforge

Mercenary from Frostgrave

Haven't been keeping up with posting at all lately so I've set myself a 1 a day challenge on my various blogs. Just get 1 model up a day until the backlogs done.
So Frenu

Winged Pterodactyl things from Twilight. Simple and fun I've painted these individually as something quick to force me to process other models. I also picked up this toy truck a while back.


Earmarked for Stargrave it's a bit tall but it's got a good all terrain look to it.

A group of Constructs or large robots useful for both Frostgrave and Stargrave.

Good catchup work here!

Great efforts as always, sir. That lorry is a good find too!

Cheers guys. This is the last of my Algryn Squads I've ot a vehicle painted up but currently my Algoryn collection is complete. I've a squad of Concord troopers and Drones from one of the starters I'll do up. I'm actually very happy with the project and can't wait to get some games in with the completed force a definite possibility now lockdowns ending.

Looking good with the Algoryn .

I love the Algoryn and the Concord from Gates of Antares. The Ghar are nice too, but I have a feeling that their battlesuits were supposed to be much bigger (looking at illustrations), but budget wise they were made smaller to have more figs per side. I wish the Rock guys would get done in plastic, but I think BtGoA is pretty much dead since I haven't seen any new models for them in a long while.

Yeah It's sad it never really took off like Bolt Action. It feels like a better balanced version of 2nd Ed for me lots of nice fiddly options. There was some talk of a 2nd Ed but I think that probably got splatted with Covid and Warlords desire to do every genre of WW2 and the Napoleonic. If I'm still playing Antares when the gaming club restarts I'll expand the force. Thinking about it their are very few options I'd definitely want to add to the list. Maybe another squad support weapon and now for something mildly different a modelI've only just finished. Lenore from Hasslefree. Oddly enough she pretty much somes up why I like lower fantasy. Simple, stylish, characterful and easy to paint she's earmarked for Frostgrave. I've also been playing with the Stargrave models and they fill much the same role. Excellent modular simple plastics I've already got more than I require for the game......

Is the first of my completed Stargrave Troopers. I'm really enjoying how nice and simple they are to paint. This lads in relatively simple semi camouflage colours as is the next lad I'll show off. I'm really enjoying the simple chunky and effective detail. I used a Zulu head with this chappy as why not?

2nd Stargrave Trooper. Nice chunky and simple to paint I'm enjoying these a lot. The barrels are something I'm delighted by just 2 plastic bottle tops stuck together with a piece of cotton bud plastic added to make an opening and finished. 20 barrels in minutes for free. Should scale nicely as Stargrave 40k scatter and my Wargames club starts back up on Tuesday!

Looking forward to returning to gaming tomorrow and heres the final piece of my current Algoryn force. If I can start getting games in again I do fancy expanding this with Hazard Suits and Jetbikes possibly another starter army set. We'll see. This is the Avenger I've painted the options and need to find some thin steel tape for magnetising them.

Obsidian Golem aiming for Frostgrave. Now the club has started meeting up again I'm hoping to get involved in a campaign for Frostgrave fairly soon. Eqally I've already got Stargrave and Oathmark booked for next week.

He's looking ace, one of your best buddy.

Cheers Graven really happy with him. I managed to resist the urge to tone him down with ink which really works with the effect I wanted.

Got my first game of Stargrave in on Tuesday. Literally dusted off a few models from the 24th Islandlwanda and the Conclave of Hrin for the game. The crew of the Zulu Dawn performed reasonably well but I concentrated too much on getting stuck in to combat and not enough on looting. Pillage then burn. It turns out a combat armoured Zulu veteran captain with Void Blade is a bit of a combat monster accounting for the clear majority of my kills. I did enjoy the rules it plays a lot like Frostgrave but the 2 loot types cause a bit of variation. Also really happy with the terrain I made. Here's the crew of the Zulu Dawn.


I also followed a random youtube video to make sprue barricades. Simply take a sprue frame and add random bits to it like so.

I tried to follow the logic of bracing bars and plates too make a quick rickety fence. More carefully cut card panels would produce a better more solid building but I wanted rickety and abandoned. I painted it using my simple techniques and it worked nicely, Added some foliage as well.

With my latest crewman to give a sense of scale. Easy cheap and fun highly recommended.

Decided to bung up this batch of Lizardmen. Can anybody name all the manufacturers?

I don't know the name of the Lizards but the urban wasteland barricade is pure brilliance. Consider that idea borrowed.

re: painted miniatures: if you still have a place to sleep I wouldn't call it hoarding. And never forget that storage containers can be very comfortable if you roll out a memory foam mattress.

Also, those Obsidian Golems a awesome! What scale are they (like how large are they compared to say a Brettonian?)

Llamahead,

Fence is a brilliant, yet so simple piece of blocking terrain.

Cheers,

CB

Cheers Skalk great to have you back he's on a 50mm base and big chunky ogre/troll size.
Skalk and Captain Brown steal away and thanks!

Described how I made them on the LoER thread nice chunky techy data terminals and another Stargrave trooper.

Man I want one of those Golems. Or a few. Once again Llamahead influences my miniature collection.

Productive as ever, my friend, loving the latest goodies.

And you flushed Skalk out of hiding too!!! :O

Good to have both of you about and this model Skalk is one everybody needs.

There is just something about a Giant Ground Sloth attack.......

Mimic. Nolzurs miniature an absolute classic
