Derby Wargames Show

So this weekend I went to a convention show and purchased quite a few models.

Finally I have managed to get a box of Fireforge Games Templar Knights which look like lovely models.
I will be playing around with these at some point this weekend.

I also picked up some Dixon Minis Hitmen from their gangsters range which I will be using for some skirmish game as well as the Westwind Vampire Wars Tzar and Tzarina and two kids which will become either civilians or the family to be protected

I also met John Stallard from Warlord games and picked up a French nurse who will be used as the children's Governess (she is in the picture packing a pistol)

Scarab Miniatures Rob who talked me through the rules of War & Conquest which I will be getting at some point and I would like to thank him for a brilliant chat about wargaming and giving me some inspiration for an army.

I would also like to say hi to my mates from Phat Cats who were there playing KGN which I found out took them over 6 weeks to put together it was a really well put together table with some very nice models on it.

Following a quick trip to the painting corner here is the first of the models a Lady and her daughter with their bodyguard packing a Tommy Gun

I can see an adventure in the Italian foothills coming on.

Stormtalon Attack

So over the latter part of the week I have bought put together and started painting a Stormtalon and here are the results

 I like it even though its boxy, I also got my second go at airbrushing which was fun and I will be using this from now on to do tanks and vehicles

Below we see another project which has been in the works for years and the latest ww2 axis model is a goliath who will be getting a squad when I get them painted

Assassin of the Druchii

Here is the warband's assassin who has been hiding out with the high elves for the past fifty years
Hope you enjoy

End of Witches Night

  

So here is the last of this months models for the Dark Elves above we have a normal Witch elf, and blow we have the Hag of the unit. I have recently stripped my old assassin model and will be showing him off at some point tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy the pics

Witches Night the Festival Continues

So after the last couple of days I've got a few more pics
Todays 

Yesterdays

It's Witches Night

As promised here is the first in my unit of Witch Elf unit for fantasy. I of course cannot do anything without making it my own and so have made them out of 40k wyches, I did this for a couple of reasons. Customability, these models can be posed loads of ways :-)
Ease of purchase, these were picked up in the little town I live in which meant they got built earlier.
The dynamic poses, while the witch elves are nice they are very much one piece standing and waving your hands in the air. These plastic models are running head down leaping or getting ready to decapitate someone, what could be better.

With the painting I wanted her to be not so evil. They will not be evil because they look that way but because they are coming to murder you. And that is even more chilling when it is done by someone you thought was your friend

Also after looking at the mandrakes this is what I'm after from the Executioners they will have chainmail robes but they will be savage and like the disciples of Khaine from Dark Blade

Enjoy the pics

Druchii on-going

So I am still on a kick with the Dark Elves and this weekend. I have completed four corsairs and five crossbowmen so I have got five Witch Elves that need painting so as I want to do them justice I will spend more time on them doing one per day.
