Guildball Union Team (1)

Made a start on the Union for Guildball back in July and then sputtered out.  I'll come back to them eventually as they are lovely figures and we still play using Season 3 rules. If you can acquire them, they are great!

 An added benefit is that the figures will work for pretty much any other non sci fi system in some way shape or form as well.

Mythic Battles Progress

The slog of working my way through the Mythic Battles: Pantheon figures continues. I think I'm only about 4-5 figures out from having the core box done!  Lots more to do though. 

Leonidas - 

 

Odysseus - 

Hades - 

Achilles - 

A goal for 2022 is to finish off the core box and start on the rest; with an end goal of having them all done before Mythic Battles: Ragnarok turns up!

Harry Potter & Hermione

Another small update today - picked up the Harry Potter Miniatures Game in 2020 because my wife and some friends are huge fans and decided it might be fun to do some gaming in the world of Hogwarts. So, here is my first two done - 

Harry Potter - 

Hermione Granger - 

I may at some point go back and redo the bases, but over all, I'm happy with them. Got loads more to do though.

Necromunda/Sci-Fi Bits

Not much to report on this front at the moment as other things have caught my interest, but back in the spring I finished up these 2 things for Necromunda - 

This guy is probably my favorite of the Corpse Grinder gang.

This toxic dump will work great in pretty much any sci-fi or post apocalyptic game. Had considerable amounts of fun painting it!

 Short update today, but there will be more coming soon as I finish out showing off the rest of my finished items for the year!

Modern Imagi-Nations: Central America (1)

A couple years ago, I took  short trip to Belize for vacation for a week. While there, I got to chatting with a Belizean Police Officer about the history of Belize and he mentioned the tension that has been between Belize and Guatemala for as long as he could remember. 

That got me thinking about an imagi-nations campaign set in the 1970's and 80's where Guatemala and Belize and their sponsor states and other Central and South American countries fought a hot Cold War.  To that end, I've started the process of building up some stuff for it. 

Belize, as a member of the British Commonwealth - has a constant presence (no matter how small) of British Army advisors or troops. So, first up we have 12 British Army infantrymen or they could also double for SAS troopers. Peter Pig figures from their AK-47 range. Painting DPM jungle camouflage in 15mm was a bit of a challenge, but I think they turned out ok.

   

Next up we have 9 Belizean Police. These are also from the Peter Pig AK-47 range. Will obviously need quite a few more of them; as well as at least a platoon of Belize Defense Force infantry. 

Guatemalans are on the paint desk now. I figure once they're done, I can do some small border skirmishes around checkpoints etc. This will be a slow build project but I think will be quite fun once it really takes off.

Pulp/Gothic/Eldritch Horror Update

In this round of catch up, I present all the horror figures and investigators I've finished since April.  Rapidly becoming one of the largest facets of my collection to be honest. I've also lumped steampunk stuff in here as well.

Snow Troll from Heresy Miniatures. A lovely resin model that was a lot of fun to paint. I may at some point go back and add blood effects to him and the base once he's fought some battles.

Theoretically this is Lord Curr from the Northstar range produced for In Her Majesties Name. I will obviously be adding him to my steampunk/Gothic horror collection. 

A couple of Cossack monster hunters. The archer is from Privateer Press, and I "think" the other one is from Bears Head but I may be forgetting.

This investigator is a mystery figure I got with some stuff off ebay. She'll make a good explorer/occultist.

Gothic horror fellow I I believe is from West Wind. 

Old RAFM Ghouls for the Call of Cthulhu range, sculpted by Bob Murch I believe. Love how they turned out. 

Brigade Games Lighthouse Keepers from their latest Cthulhu kickstarter. They'll go well with my Sarissa Lighthouse!

Egyptian Cultists. Who doesn't need cultists by the bucket load?! These ones I attempted to do with an inverted ankh on their chests. 

                                      

Dracula's resting place. Sculpted and sold by Bob Murch at Pulp Figures.

Bears Head Minis Ghoul. This things right around 54-60mm I think. Painted up a treat.

A very angry mummy from Northstar.

These two ladies are from Bob Murch's Pulp Figures. They were very easy to paint. His sculpting style is very conducive to the painter. 

Re-purposed Konflict 47 werewolves painted up as just normal werewolves vs Weird WW2 ones. Very happy with how their fur turned out.

I really need to actually get all this stuff to the table. Halloween was the perfect chance but I was busy sorting out candy for all the little ghosts and spiderman's running around the neighborhood. Soon. Watch this space.

Painting Shadows of Brimstone (1)

I've decided that having owned Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients for damn near 6 years now and never having played it because I hadn't painted the figures yet had to be remedied. So, I've gotten a start on them. All the other figures are primed and on the paint desk - but here's what I've finished so far - 

12 Tentacles. These took a lot longer to do than expected. I may have gone a bit overboard.

 

3x Ghosts. Was really going for an ethereal look with these and I think I got it right.

6x Hero Characters. I think my faves are the Dancing Girl and the Bandito. These figures will also see service in various old west rulesets I have and I think will fit right in for Dracula's America as well.
