Umber Hulk

One of Fern's first paintjobs. Turns out the mini is about 30 years old.

Daemons vs lizards

Only a short post today as I'm fiddling with my new pone, it takes ok pictures must learn to have a steady hand though, here are some pics of 2400 points versus Liam's Lizards. Game ended up with me holding the tower in the 4th turn with Bloodletters.

2400 points GUO, HoK 29 Letters, HoN, 25 Plaguebearers, HoT w/ Shadow magic, Epidimius 5 Furies, 3 Screamers, 2x 1 Beasts of Nurgle and 2 x 1 Fiends. I got to take a new list next week. My Nurgle Daemons are failing to get the tally high enough fast but that maybe just because I was facing primarily T4 troops.

My Daemons.

Liam and his Lizardmen, he needs way more skinks.

Bloodletters killing the Skinks and taking over the watchtower

Salamanders surrounded and destroyed.

Skink Priest being eaten by Harpies after sSalamanders run down.

Stegadon charges Plaguebearers.

Slaan and Temple guard Charging tower, only to bounce off. 

I've almost finished my unit of Plaguebearers.

Nurgle Chaos Warriors, Cultists and T34's

So I splurged out on my Mortal Nurgle army and got the Avatars of War Corruptors of Apocalypse, straight in as Nurgle Chaos Warriors. Here they are in all their bits.

 I must say I'm quite impressed with them, I wouldn't have mided a bit more customizationability but they are extremely nice sculpts and I especiall like the musician.

I had to assemble one with one mutated arm and he is nice and blocky and imposing with lots of details for painting rust and pustulent bits. 

I assembled my first T34 for my Russians. Hot swappable turrets from Plasti Soldier Company. I picked up a box of them and two Katyushka rocket launchers.

 I'm also painting this up for a friend's Deadlands campaign

Scenery Maintenance

Took a break from painting miniatures to do some scenery. I fixed all the chips and broken bits on most of the LOTR ex GW terrain Nathan gave the club to add sturdiness and durability. Plus I did a few of my own pieces as well.

The whole table.

Leather Huts/Yurts, giving them MDF and CD bases to make them more durable and long lasting.

Armature for new tree system I'm doing. Hopefully be able to make enought for a forest to cover an entire table for Mordheim games and get some going for the club. Plus some walls in the background that neederd touching up.

MDF Kitset house with Hirst arts rock wall. Just needs the roof and Exterior planks on the walls to be done.

Yes, she does scenery too.

All of my Daemons, Yes ALL of them (and Fern's VC)

So I decided to clean up my act and break out the entire Daemon army and put them on the table and fix some of the problems with broken figures and assembling some more movement trays.

White Dwarf shot. Oh BABY!

For Mother Russia!

I had a look at all my sorted out bits and then I realised it was all wrong. So much snapping off of minis and regluing later I have my Russian Army.

It includes:
1 Strelkovy Company  incl Command Rifle/MG Team, 3 Rifle Platoons and Komissar Team 365 points
1 Strelkovy Machine Gun Company, including Command Rifle Team,and 1 Machine-Gun Platoon 80 points
1 Strelkovy Scout Platoon, incl Command Recce SMG team, and 2 Scout Squads of Recce SMG Teams 165 points
plus 2 more Komissars and  some Russian Peasants (really must get more of these)

...so 610 points all up.

I may need to get some more rifle guys just to pad out the units as I was using some dead russians the Kommisars had killed to ad to the units. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE FEARLESS.

Russians, Harpies and Ogryns

I have done a wee bit more work on my Russians, assembling and cleaning mold lines, etc. Still recovering from my cold though., I found some Selley's No More Gaps works well for filling out the bases. So I have Rifle Command, Kommissar and 2 companies of rifle/mg Strelkovy and a Rfile Command and a HMG company. I will be putting together some SMG guys tonight to get me up to 500 points. I even got some 15mm peasants as well. I'm thinking of getting the 3 15mm box sets of russian, infantry, tanks and guns from Plastic Soldier Company to see if I can round out to 1500 points. Should be fun.

 

The Ogryns are done and I'm quite chuffed with how they look. Almost makes me want to do an IG army. I did a lot of battered armour plating and scuffing the paint off their steel toed boots. They look ruddy and like battle hardened veterans. The guy I painted them for likes them and wants me to do some Deadlands stuff next week.

I have inked up the Furies/Harpies, I'm going for a red/purple/blue look.The glossyness of the old GW Inks is something I love, especially for doing flesh.

And finally I have assembled some plaguebearers my wife got me. SHE UNDERSTANDS!  As an added bonus you can get two units of Nurglings from the box as well.
