Khador - The End?

 The dirty Khadorians, a long project that is finally done.

 Included in the army is an objective (from the Warmachine objective set), which was finished just in time for GottaCon.  Hopefully that big barrel of coal was useful!

 This wave also saw some Iron Fang cavalry (called 'Uhlans') as well as the solo; Markov.

 Markov was my favourite of all the cavalry, I seem to prefer the standing poses for horses compared to the leaping ponies.

 Also, keeping with the lance theme, a spriggan.  I roughed this 'jack a little more than the others.  I have been using the packing foam (from blister packs) to splotch on the chips in the paint, which is both fun and effective.

 Those long lances pose a problem on the tabletop, so each one has a long pin, allowing for easy removal when charging.  I was going to replace the pin with some magnets, but they fit very tight, so the pins stayed.

 Is this the end of Khador posts?

Not a chance!

Until next round, be well.

High Elves - Objective

 Every army needs some counters!  These could be used for wounds, captured standards, objectives, and all kinds of other things that need to be marked.  Next for the elves; elf chicks with magical bows!

Until next round, be well.

Blood Bowl - Got Balls?

Until next round...

Trolls - A Worthy Objective

 Every army needs an objective right?  I had found this alluring mini and thought "this would make a nice light snack for my trolls!"  Armed with cork, foam, a cd and some basing materials, I put together "lunch".

 The backstory goes something like this; the trolls take the fairest (and therefore tastiest) woman in the nearest village and tie her to a stick.  Her clothes are removed to reveal choice cuts, which makes the hungry trolls agitated.  The troll who survives and kills the most of the enemy is rewarded with roasted maiden after the battle.  The rest of the trolls get to pick over the battlefield for other morsels of food and any lost limbs or whelps.

 I guess it gives an opposing (human) force reason to save her, or other factions to get the snack first.  Either way, it is fun to place it on any table and watch my opponent's reaction.

 The carvings on the stone roughly translate into "food, here."

 Until next round....

...be well.

Witch Hunters - Have Some Faith

 To help out with remembering things, I made some simple faith markers for the sisters as well.

Those little back-banners for space marines don't look right to me, and I doubt they make disembarking very easy, so I had a few lying around.  I glued them to bases, changed a couple of the banner tops, and instant faith!  I tried to keep them varied, some are from the old templar's kit, and based the designs on the 'parent' faithful unit.

Until next round....

Trolls - Foots

 I often forget to use my feat.  It has happened time and time again.  But no-longer, for I have found a solution!  A wander through the bitz box (on the hunt for something completely different) I struck upon an awesome idea.

 Leftover from the plastic GW giant were a couple of feet, too big for most other conversions, but the wheels were turning.  The trolls use barrels (from Pegasus games) to mark their fury, so I attached the feet, some plastic stacks, and hair (for smoke).  After a bit of greenstuff it was good to go.

 Now, once per game, my warlock can summon the automated feats to follow them around causing good stuff to happen.

Until next round, be well.

Space Hulk - Churchbot and Cup

 These are the markers from the Space Hulk box, nifty little things.  Since all of the terminators are finished, these two were next.

 These are magnetized to sit on the bases, and the cup has a corresponding magnet on the sitting terminator corpse.  These were pretty easy/fast/fun to do. I would like to have these guys in my marker collection; does anyone have some for trade?

Until next round!

Vampires Next Door, Encore

Just a quick commission, a couple of grave markers.
Be well...

Souls!

I got the soul tokens finished last night....

Some of This, Some of That

I couldn't stand having this thing glaring at me from across the room for too long, so the other day I painted it. It has some good height to it, making it fit rather snugly into the city.

I used super-cheap paint, which made it look really good in some areas, but it clumped up (or hid) from others. Overall, for a terrain piece, it turned out pretty good.

It needed...more. To answer this I made up some banners on my computer, printed them off, singed, then glued.

I also finished off two more Imperial objective markers made from bastion bitz.

Oh, and this rabble is a handful of chaos marauders that got some paint this weekend. Yes, green torches, they do worship Tzeentch after all....
Until next time, keep breathing,
Ricalope.

Doomy!

Just a small update today regarding everyone's favourite xenos; eldar. The Avatar has had its base done, just awaiting grass.

This squad of Fire Dragons has been hanging around for a while now, finally they are ready for varnishes. I had attempted a smouldering look to their armour which was surprisingly easy to do.

And this is Doomy, the wraithboy. Doomy gets to follow enemy models around, dooming them to a doomy doomness. He also represents the farseer power: doom.

Until the next break in warp storms, be well.
