WWII 8ty army British armour

 These are the last two 1/48 models that IlVJ gifted me a couple of years ago.

They are part of my (very slowly) ongoing Bolt Action project to give my Afrika Korp an opponent.

So far I have collected 3 Tamiya 1é48 models and I will, at some point, add a box of plastic Warlord or Perry miniatures infantry.

I wouuld prefer the Perry figures, my Germans are Perry and I think it would be nice to have the Brits in the same style, but we'll see.

Here are a recce unit and a tank to support my still non existent infantry platoon.

Few new recruits for my Oldhammer Khorne army

 I just finished half a dozen Chaos dwarfs of Khorne, these are WOTC models released for their Chainmail game of the early 2000, they looked mean enough that I decided to paint them as chaos dwarfs, to use in my warbands games and eventually add them to my Warhammer Khorne army, I will need to add 2 to the unit and I'll use them as either crossbowmen, or I'll house rule something for chaotic thunderers, it makes sense that Khorne would use gun powder weapons.

A couple of Mordhaim Middenhaimer

 A small post while I try to take photos of other stuff I recently finished.

This week I have a couple of Middenhaim mercenaries for Mordhaim, nothing crazy, but they are nice figures that I will be able to use for multiple games.

Warhammer Orcs and goblins baggage "wagons"

 These are two resin reptiles from the I-kore game Void that a friend of mine casted in plaster.

I had them kicking around for quite a while and I finally decided to turn them into orcs and goblins baggage "wagons", or more correctly: beasts of burden.

One mainly carries construction lumber and some weapons, the second one is loaded with all sort of munitions and weapons looted from the opposition.

I like these models a lot, they have a good amount of orciness and will definitely see some use on the table.

New mini project started

 These are the first few models of a kind of mini project I have started working on.

I always like the idea introduced in Warhammer 3rd edition, to have a baggage train for my armies and always had in mind to collect of build some wagons and baggage followers as described in the rulebooks.

I finally decided it was time to build some, so with a few leftover horses and random figures I started working on the wagons. 

At the same time IlVJ sent me some figures he had cast with Prince August molds and I also have a few of the train followers I wanted.

These first models are all humans, so they could be used for both Bretonnia and Empire armies.

In this post we have a wizard wagon, I imagine carrying all the spell components and summoning supplies the army might need and pulled by some exotic creature the wizard has bound to his will. The other 2 models are the Prince August I mentioned above, they are supposedly dungeon hirelings, but I think they fit well in the baggage train carrying around bags of supplies or unloading wagons.

PS: I will be on holiday for the next three weeks and I'll go back to visit the family in Italy, so there won't be any posting for that period, I'll be back blogging as soon as I get back.

A figure from the Mighty Ugezod's Death Commandos

 This is a figure from the Mighty Ugezod's Death Commandos boxed set, it is supposedly a goblin hero: Kudra Stunty Smasher. 

I decided to paint it as a hobgoblin, hence the orange skin tone. I really like Nick Lund's style of sculpting and this figure was a lot of fun to paint.

A few more goblins

It might look like I have some kind of obsession with goblins, but it is just a coincidence that I've been painting so many of them recently.

I still have a few to paint, but not that many, and they won't be painted any time soon.

This is a small addition for my orcs and goblins army, they are a bunch of old models I traded for painting (as usual), they are very old  70s and 80s figures from a few manufacturers.

I love the Garrison ones, but the two pre-slotta Citadel ones are my favorites.

A few Epic models

 This week I just have a small post about small guys, I finished a few Epic models to add to my existing forces of the Imperium.

There are mote to finish, I wanted to complete the whole batch before posting, but I have nothing else to post this week.

Semi project completed

 I don't feel like calling this a full project, in fact it is only a unit, but a very large one.

E few years ago I started this Khorne Chaos Goblins unit, according to the Realm of Chaos army list of Khorne, I am allowed to field up to 120 of the little guys.

When the idea came to me, I planned to use the Skull Pass (7th edition) night goblins for the unit, but I soon realized that it would not be so easy to gather 120 of them.

I sparted painting what I had, but then decided to add any goblin I would find, that would add to the chaotic mood of the unit.

First addition were a bunch of converted goblins and unit fillers, using bits that I had in my spare box, next were some Grenadier goblins, then some Ral Partha and a whole bunch of home cast Prince August that IlVJ had the molds for.

Now the unit has a very chaotic feel and I'm looking forward to field it in battle, it will probably be pretty useless as a giant mob, but I feel I have to try it at least once.

Here are some pictures of the complete unit.

Rifts mercenary apc

 This is a Tamiya 1/48 scale kit that IlVJ gifted me a couple of Christmases ago, I finally completed it, I'll be using if for Rifts, as a mercenary unit apc.

It is a modern day Japanese Defense Force vehicle, but it looks modern and I thought it would work well for that setting.
