Darkwater figures

Image
 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

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!

 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!

Invasion of the Nids! Kill Team Raveners

I painted up this team in a little bit of a rush. I'm not a great fan of tyranids or of contrast paint, so I kinda screwed myself over doing these in contrast paints. It sort of works, but there's a part of me that wants to go back and just do them in black c ontrast and add some subtle details in eye popping neons here and there. I think they'd look meaner darker. But hey ho, here they are, I'm trying to work out what they do in the Kill team game, they seem to be only about the tunnel. This seems like it's a bit of a dull game mechanic, I just take my guys and hide them. Then pop out and kill you. Anyhow here they are, not great pics either, sorry.

Kill Team - Tombworld

Image
GW shoved out another tasty Kill Team box recenty; Tombworld. It's a kinda Necron Gallowdark, a set of interlocking walls with a few other features. There is a nice little scene for Kill team in Portsmouth with four regular players, including me.  We decided to get to gether to paint up the new terrain so we could play about with it, as it seems to be a part of the terrain selection for tournaments. Here is it, we undercoated everything black, did a nadir coat with while spray to get an underglow, then followed up with bright green spray to give the light some colour. Then the lit elements f the terrain were picked out in blue to set if off rom the green, a few metalic touches here and there to the abandned necrons who are part of the walls and the little scarabs climbing everywhere and we were done. There were some arrows added on the top to highlight where the doors are. It took three of us most of a Sunday to complete it, a job well done I think. :)
