SiBarge and his hobby horse

My Mandrakes, a new-ish Kill Team. I've played these guys three times now and not been very good with them. They seem very tricksy and not really my style, I'll have to stick at it. They were pretty straight foward to paint, I even did my first ever NMM sword.  The specialists all have top knots and purple skirts and the grunts have dark red skirts.

I recently received a kickstarter I backed a while ago for a bundle of Forbidden Psalm rules and scenarios. Forbidden Psalm is a skirmish game based on the independant success Mork Borg RPG. It was a warband of five dudes and a playing area of 2 foot square. I was really captured by the aesthetic and decided to jump straight in and get going. The book comes with a campaign of 26 different scenarios and each one has a bunch of weird and wonderful monsters. It also requires a long list of terrain features that looked fun to make. I'm doing standing stones, wells, goat farms, barns and a town called Dawnblight. Here are the first couple of basic tenements for Dawnblight, the next building will be an inn... No town is complete without an outhouse and some sinister animal cultists...

I pre-ordered in December and got hold of a box in March, having cancelled my original order.  I like the look of the new terrain, a sea of nasty stuff and some platforms to jump around on. The plastic bits were pretty mould line free with minimal construction, I sprayed my stuff black and then I sprayed the legs and furness with grey in a rather lame attampt at a zenithal.  The legs I just washed with a sloppy wash I mixed up, kinda blacky brown, then added a few extra streaks and a bit of light grey dry brushing. I sprayed matt varnish on them all and then added some gloss medium at the bottom to prepresent it being wet. The top got a sponging of deep red and then a lighter sponging of light red. Followed by further sponging of black and silver. I then touched up the recesses with some silver and then a dark brown wash in them.  To give it a bit of colo...
