Painting Update - Dungeon Tiles

 Hello Folks,

Figured I better do a post with the last bit of painting for 2020. I decided to work on some dungeon tiles over the Christmas break, not really sure why was just motivated that way. Anyway here's what I got done.

Base Set:

First up got cracking on the base set. I did well on the floors which are easier, but not as well in walls, only like half the walls done so far. But I think they turn out pretty cool.

Torture Chamber:

They also do some themed add on sets, so I did one of those when I got tired of the basic rocks. This one is the torture chamber which has wood floors and various torture stuff.

Progress so far:

Here's a shot of all I got done so far. As you can see I'm getting somewhere but mainly need more walls. Plan to keep chopping away at this, I figure it will be easy to toss in a few bits now and then. Its really only the walls thay are slow as they are bigger 2 sided and have more details.

Beastlords:

After awhile I decided it was time for a tile break! So I painted some Christmas goodies, more Bot Wars stuff, these are basically the dinobots, fun! Have a few more to do of course. These are just fun to do so make forxa great lock down diversion!

Bought: 367 
Painted: 353
Total: -14 pretty close

Thanks;

Paintimg Update - Spooky Ghosts

 Hello Folks,

Got another bit of painting done. Decided to do some additional ghosts, so I would have enough to run a Saga Age of Magic army of all spooky ghosts!

Group shot first as it works better 9n face book.

Few hexwraiths, plus the king of the dead and his Banners. Based different to fit in their respective armies, but teaming up for saga!

Hexwraiths:

Ghostly wraith on ghost steeds with scythe whats not to love. Super easy to paint also. Have 1 left to do, but rushed these as just need 4 for saga.

King of the Dead:

Another great plastic kit from GW, so much better then the old king of the dead. Really pleased with how he turned out.

Army:

So here's what a full army of spooky ghosts looks like! I think this far from a good undead army, but I mostly want an 3xcuse to use my big ghost chariot! Plus I think age of magic in particular is better of you don't take it to seriously and just set out to have a laugh.

Bought: 367 Armada!
Painted: 291
Total: -76

Battle Report - Club Day Warhammer

 Hello Folks,

Managed to get in another club day, great time as usual. Today the main game of the day was By Fire and Sword, but we decided to play a side game of warhammer fantasy 7th edition.

Serge has some Skaven from island of blood, so I took small armies of both lizards and high elves, hoping to get 2 games in. They were around 700 points.

Probably got something things wrong, rusty on the rules.

Game 1: Lizardmen

First up the rats would have to fight dinosaurs. I forgot the set up shot but here we are after turn 2. Terradons flanking with skirmishes on the sides and a steggadon up the middle.

The rats pressed forward, lucky foe me their warp fire thrower just explodes and the has mortar shot wide!

Turn 2 much excitement! The steggadon charged in against the rats, but rolled very poorly, then fled from combat and was overrun! The blow pipe skins mage to kill a rat ogre thou. Meanwhile the terradons dropped rocks on the other unit of rats who panicked.

Rats counter attack, the ogres charge the skinks who flee into the woods. The mortar gassed a few of the others, while the cheiftans unit advanced.

My turn the orange skinks fail to rally and flee off the board! But the blue sk8nks are to to flank and t8ss javelin while the mage fires in some spells.

Skaven charge the mage who flees, and mortar gasses a few skinks who panic. The ogre tries to block and save the remaining unit from a rare charge.

Missing the last picture, but the terradons cleaned up the ogre, while all the skinks ran way, so a win fir the ratmen!

Game 2: vs High Elves

Second game I took out the very high elves to have a go. My plan is to shoot arrows while the sword masters murder everything and the knights flank.

Skaven fire the poison mortar dead on the swordmasters, who can't cut gas... All but 2 or 3 due who then obviously flee, he not good.

I decided a risk is needed so try a long charge with the knights but am an inch it 2 out sadly. But I am able to pincushion the mortar with arrows.

Skaven get right up in the archers face, with the ogres in the woods.

I'm not really willing to pit the knights into a forest, so try to run past. But lucky I am able to panic one skaven unit with shooting 

Rats fail to rally, but but up most of one unit with fire, the other die from the charge. Not looking good!

I try to charge the fleeing unit, but they run out of range. At least my wizard is able to kill the pesky fire thrower.

Skaven charge the knights in the rear with the ogres, killing a couple and making them run. While the remains unit tries to get my wizard with magic. But no luck their.

The disaster continues as my knights fail to rally and exit stage left! The skaven are able to kill my wizard on their go, so another solid win for them!

Not a great showing on my side perhaps, but was great to get back to playing this game again, very fun.

As usual here's a picture of the other games ongoing:

Tod showing Jay that rivers are a bad time.

More open battle.

I guess Cossacks raid a village i guess which is their bread and butter I assume!

Thanks;
