Working 9 to 5 and more

So I thought that I would give a quick update about what I've been upto. I have been helping my mate by putting together a couple of models and I thought I'd give a couple of bitesize reviews of some of the models

Dakkajet - absolutely lovely model went together easy and looked brilliant when done

Battlewagon - not bad not numbered which was an issue and a few too many bits that looked the same but went together well in the end

Tomb guard - nice models and one piece body was nice lots of potential would use these if ever doing skeletons not a fan of gluing spines together

Karamazov - finecast helps this model no need to pin now certain bits were awkward to put together but nice and rewarding

Chaos Lord of Manticore - certain bits were easy certain bits were a git, the instructions could do with being clearer

Dark Angel Vets - old friend so many bits and my usual conversion fodder (see upcoming photo for this) lovely

Eldar support weapon - fail how can such a small model provoke so much swearing

Also a brief review of Kommando Khaki %&&*$$ kack is more like it opacity was zero will be getting rid of my pot

Planning for a game tonight so hopefully a battle report and maybe just maybe some pics

Also been looking at Dystopian Wars lovely models

Deus Vult and our thing

So after some interesting days of putting the Fireforge Templar Knights I was rather upset to find not all of the horses had caparisons while this is historically correct it kind of limits them when it comes to warhammer fantasyand kind of takes away from the look.

Oh well I must admit I am still not feeling Warhammer at the moment. So here for your delectation are the first two  Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon that I have painted

One thing I would like to do at some point is a game like the A Very British Civil War

This would be set after WW2 in the Azzurra Mountains and feature a group of soldiers sent out to capture / kill the local Cammora Boss, who is still trying to escape with his wife and kids and one of his best earning girls.

You have already seen some of the models that I plan to use for the criminals  and I will be using Warlord Games British Infantry for the ambushing defenders of the law.

Also as I am a fan of WWW2 and have just picked up some of the Templar Knights I might introduce the Three Spanish Knights or a Strega to the Cammorra forces while the British will get hold of mythological characters and scientifically altered super soldiers.

For the myth of the Three spanish knights read this 

Hopefully I will have some more pictures soon

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
