Wire Wolves literally just twisted wire to represent barbed wire along with PVA and Tamiya Clear Red to represent the ichor. I've made a bunch of these twisted wire sculptures of various creatures to posess the wastes of Doggerland. All quiet on the Doggerland front still fascinates me as a setting but it's very much a WW1 battle game and while adding vehicles and support weapons intrigues me they are absolutely directly tied in with the traditional nations but irritatingly with only following British practise on squad sizes and not allowing them to vary. I do however own French, German and British troopers based on the Wargames Atlantic plastics. I'm also trying to decide how I want to make the regular models for each nation.Prim and proper? Horribly mutated? Ramshackle? Dual Purpose? The rules are also chunky and specific and I'm not sure they quite do what I want. Planet 28 or Xenos Rampant might work better. Stuff to ponder over.....

My epic stuff has been on a backburner for a while overtaken by skirmish warbands and the fantasy armies. Will legions imperialis change that? Possibly not it doesn't include Orks but I'd still like to get some games in so I'll wait to see what the rules are like as I've still not seen much about that.

Cheers this Trooper is a nice simple Stargrave model nice that she's a she waited ages to get decent plastic women kits and these are wonderful for it. Random Stargrave models have rekindled my interest in Sci-fi painting over the past couple of years and I'll keep turning them oout I could do with more hero models and would love them to make a Captain box at some point!

Stargrave seems like such an awesome game system with wonderful modeling opportunities, would love to get my hobby group into it! Great weathering on both her and the gargant. Also love her basing - looks very earthy and natural!

Cheers mixing a bunch of flocks together is what does it.Stargrave is a great system Tzurk.While it lacks the easy narrative hook of Frostgrave it givs far more variety of Warbands. The rules are simple and straightforward allowing the interactions to make the game complex. My main bugbear with it is th lack of customisable weapons although thats the trade off for making it easy to port any models in.

Here's Elizabeth a Death may Die survivor. I'm really enjoying painting these as they give far more variety in colour choice and styles than military stuff. Changing period is also allowing me more variety.

This chap is a Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago Crewman brought into the future as a Stargrave crewman. At Hammerhead I treated myself to some of Wargames Atlantics Bugs and some more Cannon fodder so expct a bug horde to be coming at some point in the future,

This poor Seccorp Trooper is facing up to two adult Harvesters and a larvae. These are the Wargames Atlantic bugs and are nicely chunky. Basing however was going to be a pig. Cool models though. Fortunately I'd decided to play with making some "sprue goo" which is literally just melting down the spare sprues with acetone and using it for stuff and it's worked excelletly here. Just 1 word of advice buy the decent pure acetone as it produces a far more useful consistency than the less pure stuff.

Dang this model doesn't look good blown up in hand it's fine though. Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago crewman, Gripping Beast Arab head stargrave bits give a nicely ethic crewman.
