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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This week we have a trio of swamp denizens, a lizardman from Ral Partha and a couple of plastic Warhammer skinks from 4th edition.
They'll surely see action in my D&D campaign.
In the 2023 final post I had anticipated my intention to start working on the pile of 1/72 Napoleonic troops I have had sitting for ages.
Most if it comes from the generosity of our friend Fele', who gave us all his old Esci 1/72 soldiers, WWII, Napoleonics, etc
Last year I worked to finish my Ancient 1/72 stuff and did a bit of colonial, this year I focused on Napoleonics, I had a big bunch of French line infantry, so I decided to start with that to have a strong starting base for the project.
The plan is to use these models for One hour wargames, a cool system that, albeit simple, is very satisfactory to play.
With the first lot of guys I got 4 regiments of French line infantry and 2 of Italian allied troops, just not to have to paint over 100 models in the same colour scheme.
As usual I used the Army Painter Quick Shade, to have the models finished quickly and very well protected from the wear of the battlefield.
Here is the result:
