Kill Team Vespids done

Image
This is the full vespid team from the Hivestorm box. It's a basic build with no tough choices, just specialists and warriors. There's five warriors and five specialists plus a recon drone. The drone and the leader had nest bonuses that mean they need to be kept pretty safe. But those bonuses are linked to special rules that are very useful and are best served up front. I've only played one game so far and that was on Gallowdark so the flying was pretty compromised. The Skyblast was phenomenal, but I rolled four Crits, pretty much any weapon is incredible with four Crits... More games due very soon. These models are very big, so they need magnetised bases or huge foam. I painted almost exactly how they are painted on the video by Darcey Bono. I've not added the black sponged camo yet, it's quite hard under the wings

Wasps!

A quick post about my latest project, some kill team vespids. I did the standard contrast job on these, so I can play em. I've not added and T'au decals or even done the gems yet. Let's see how they play first 😁.

New territory

Image
 I've been offline with hobby stuff for a few months. This is because I was in the process of moving house. It took forever and my stuff was packed for the whole time. The good news is it is over now and I'm moved. This is my new hobby room. It's in embryonic state so far, I'll probably get rid of the grey shagpile on get something much easier to find errant small pieces on. I'm planning a big session of The Last War and I want to learn how to do videos too. So I will be looking to get all that equipment. Regular updates will soon be back...

Underworlds. The Kunnin' Krew

Image
I've been a fan of Underworlds since the first Shadespire box and have had some fun nights playing the first couple of boxes  I've picked up a few boxes since and never really got back into it, I think cos the card pile got so massive and I had no idea what to do with it. Then recently GW popped out a new box with an updated set of rules and cards. They are still running the Rivals system where you use cards from only one deck and a slightly more complex Nemesis version where you have to buy two decks and mingle them up to create a hybrid. Anyhow this new edition kicked off a bit of a resurgence in interest at my local cafe. So we got back into it.  I am absolutely stoked that all the old figures are now available again and I can avoid the hideous OOP eBay mark ups. The warband box format is four grouped teams. We decided to split a box and I wanted the Kunnin' Krew as I love the krule boy look. I painted them as the box art so nothing cool in terms of colour choices. Here ...

TLW The Loyal

Image
There's a bunch of dudes in the last war that are described as The Loyal. These are soldiers that do not accept that the war has ended. They fight on, against anyone who crosses their path, fuelled by the aggro, sustained by the hate.  I'm not sure about the timescale for TLW, the aesthetics are WWI, but this thing could have been going on for years and years. My ideas for the LoYal were to have modern SAS style figures with WWI style helmets and Napoleonic style big back packs. I wanted to meld time, forward backwards and sideways. The LoYal are pulling energy from eternal conflict. Here they are, 3d prints from somewhere.

TLW ambulance hut

Image
This is a dual purpose bit of scenery. It can be used as a hut, of placed on the back of one of the truck bodies. It's made from mounting board and balsa wood. I used a bit of packaging for the window.

More trench maggots

Image
Apparently you need four trench maggots for the published scenarios in TLW. So I made a couple more. Slightly different style to the first two. A bit of a head and legs. Once again I used Das for the body and green stuff for the legs.
