Magnetising the Somethingagore

Table is ready for transport on Waitangi Day to Nick's place for some gaming. Free Dinner table and some MDF board screwed to the top. Fits snugly in the back of the people mover too. We ended up playing about a dozen games between all 5 of us on the day in practice for NZTC.

...And some pictures of magnetising I did for Fern's Somethingagore. I used 1mm by 2mm magnets with one for the head and 2 setas for each of the arms as they were too heavy for one. Overall came out pretty good.
Somethingagore ready and prepped.

Just because you wanted the miniatures to paint

Have you ever bought miniatures justy because you wanted to paint them. Not just play...paint.

Wrath of Kings


A few months ago I opted in with a mate of mine to back Wrath of Kings kickstarter and I went in for Teknes faction. It seems they are releasing some aboslutely fabulous miniatures. one of the most recent updates has some awesome miniatures. Probably wont play the game but love the minis.

It's been a while since last non - warhammer post and we're fully into Warmahordes at the moment. It's turning out to be a blast and Chris Otton is running a Journeyman league at our club.  This is what is on our painting trays at the moment post Skitterleap.

Fern's Forsaken, Lilyth and Carnivean

Fern's Shepherd and 4 Rippers.

My trollbloods getting a lick of paint and some tartan. Just waiting on Fennblades, Trollkin Champions and Krielstone.

Ashely's Circle coming along nicely.
Malifaux Entertainers, Pandora, Candy and Undead whores getting first coasts and washes/inks.

The Legion are coming...

So, once again, the wifey has stolen the blog, since Sam's so busy over at Kiwihammer nowadays.  And I have a new pet project, to give me a break from painting the 160 Skaven sitting on the painting tray at the moment.

Yes, I have started collecting Warmachine: Hordes, in preparation for starting our local gaming club's Journeyman league next week.  And even better, my daughter has asked for Hordes minis for her birthday and is going to jump into the league herself.


So now to assemble, paint and learn the rules for my brand new Legion of Everblight faction, as well as the basics of Circle of Orboros (to teach my daughter).

Gotta love a hobby that drags in the whole family and gets us hanging out together.

Love to all till next time,
Fern

Wifey's monstrous goodness

Someone on Twitter was asking Sam just how large the Reaper Kaladrax & Nethyrmaul models were...  And as he's a Brettonian and VC player, I decided to stage a couple of scale shots for him :)

So, here's to you, JW

Cheers,
Fern
Nethyrmaul & friends
Kaladrax & friends

Mantic last wave of Kings of War Kickstarter should be here anyday as well. Looking forward to using the gargoyle's as Bringer of the Swarm for my daemons (and marking some as Tzeentch and other's as Khorne) and the trolls for my Orc army but mostly for my WoC army.

45 Gargoyles.
5 Abyssal Dwarf Immortal Guard.
5 Elf Stormwind Cavalry.
5 Twilight Kin Dark Riders.
5 Celestian Sisters.
5 Celestian Men-at-Arms.
5 Celestian Paladins.
5 Celestian Knights.
12 Trolls
8 Characters
and a book.


Haven't heard much about raging heroes kickstarter but just early days yet. They are 3d sculpting from what I gather. Dark Elves for Games workshop are rumoured for 2 months so RH might kick off their next Kickstarter then.

Mierce next kickstarter is on the 16th September it appears. Hmmm.
