Spearhead rats

Image
I decided to paint all 40 clanrats as I thought they would be a fast exercise in batch painting. The problem is that they are all very different and each sculpt has something unique. There are 20 different sculpts and when you add in the banner and musician alternatives the variety is incredible. I did a few really basic conversions at the wrist to change weapons.  I used a red for most of the clothing, some black, to give a unified clan look. I'm yet to do the basing, it's a big dull session I am not looking forward to.

Spearhead!

I bought the big Skaventide box from GW a while back. I felt it was good value and I have been tempted by fantasy for a while.  It came with a Spearhead book which I absolutely love the concept of.  Si I decided to get my stuff together and build a couple of spearheads to play with. First up was the terrain, nice details and pretty easy to paint.

Underworlds gang of Stabbas

 Another Underworld gang, this time nasty stabby orcs. I really dig the spiky nasty aesthetic of the GW kruleboys. Mostly contrast paints on these, but I do mess with the finish, I went for a super bright skin this time.

Darkwater figures

 Another GW product, bought to play with the less experienced wargaming pals I have. Filled with some bloody lovely figures and some interesting scenarios and books.

GW AoS scenery

I've been playing a lot with the evil empire recently and buying quite a bit of G W plastic. I bought the Skaventide box a while back and this is the first bits I've painted. Some nice, but obviously massively detailed walls and shrines that have been damaged by the nasty rats. Basic contrast over a grey base coat and a bit of ink wash here and there.

Warmaster

Image
Before Kill team came out, my favourite GW game was Warmaster. I bought a couple of armies when it came out and have played it on and off ever since. I really dig the Revolution community and the way the game is still supported. I have a gaming day coming up and I'm writing a few scenarios that require a bit of terrain. So here are a few 3D printed buildings that I got from MMF and had printed by a pal. It's a bit weird but the roofs of the houses came out smaller than the bodies, so I made new roofs for the larger houses and new houses for the smaller roofs. I also had a nice church printed, it seems a tad small, or the houses are too big, I don't know. They'll all look OK on the field when we play around them.

Wrecka crew!

Image
 It's been a while since I posted, but here is my latest Kill Team, the Wreckas. I added four extra bodies in to this team cos I enjoyed making up the orks. I used the standard boy box and added the spare bits from the wreckas sprues.  During the build and paint I sort of stumbled on a colour scheme of blue with a white stripe, the boss and a couple of the first boys I did kinda missed this scheme, so I might have to goback and add it in to some areas, the bosses tabard is an obvious place. I'm having a proper blast playing with these guys, they shoot very well with six dice and wrecka points you can easily push through two hits above and beyond any that could be saved. Here they are!
