the safe hΘle

 after messing around with my Fistful of Lead: Tales of Horror with the Necromancer band of undead mummies and ghouls and Witch Hunters, i wanted to do a Third Reich werewolves group. i was watching a lot of the nazi horror movies on Tubi and most of them were the werewolves of the Nazi regime, so i got kinda inspired to do this project. i got my hands on a resin set from TT Combat. it came with six werewolves in three different poses.  i mainly used only the two of the poses. as i was painting these i decided to base them on 40mm bases. wanted to have them have a presence on the table. not only using these for my FFoL: Tales of Horror, also intend to use them for the wild west and pulp games. i did take one of the wolves in the crouching position, painted it in a white color scheme, to make him really stand out. he will be feature in the future rpg sessions of a nice set of rules that takes place in the wild west called Desperados.

  as part of my ORCtober challenge, i continued paint some more orcs for the Fistful of Lead: Fantasy. this time around i am using the metal GW miniatures that i was able to get a hold of earlier this year., and inspired by the Orcs from World of Warcraft, mostly from the Warlords of Draenor expansion. i also took the names of some of the more badass orcs from the game for this warband. the clan name is also from the mmo game. Dragonmaw Clan da great shaman, Gul'dan Orgrim and Thrall Saurfang Garrosh and Grommash

 as part of my ORCtober challenge, i continued paint some more orcs for the Fistful of Lead: Fantasy. this time around i went in a different direction, and inspired by the Fel Orcs from World of Warcraft i painted them with red skin like in the mmo game. i also took the names of some of the more badass orcs from the game for this warband. the Fel Orcs Kargath the Bladefist Nek'rosh and Kilrogg Rend and Hellscream

 continuing my ORCtober challenge, i finally finished piecing together and gluing them to bases the first orc warband i tend to use for Fistful of Lead: Fantasy game. kinda lazy with names i took several ork names from Warhammer 40k, least the ones i remember from years ago and the ones i always thought were awesome enough to remember. Dragonmaw Clan this warband is made entirely out of the plastics from the classic box set Warhammer Fantasy Regiments.   Ghazghull Thraka and Nazdreg Grotsnik, Skargrim, and Gorgutz did not notice it until everything was painted but i did have the old Evil Sunz and Bad Moons shields mixed together. after seeing this kinda want to make either a pure Bad Moon or Evil Sun clan group now. or maybe just use just one or the other shield design with a different color scheme. da Gobbos

 during the summer i was able to come across several box sets of old Citadel warhammer miniatures. was able to get a hold of two box sets of classic greenskins and one set of undead. at the time i was holding on to them because i didn't really have any projects that involved fantasy miniatures or any setting for that matter. also i also came across two box sets of warhammer fantasy regiments. i have to admit these box sets are really cool. i'm loving it, finding these old sets and miniatures.   at time of writing, little under a week ago Wiley Games finally released their FFoL: Fantasy rules. so at first i'm digging through all the orcs and gobins, and in the process of making a few warbands of greenskins for the game. i'm gonna model my warbands taking inspiration from Warhammer, 40k, and even World of Warcraft. over the next few days i am gonna celebrate the month October as ORCtober.

so few weekends ago, i was able to sift through another load of miniatures from a fellow gamer who passed away. and at times i felt guilty because i didn't know the man personally but knew of him through friendships i have now. and still it never fails how amazing it feels when you come across things you never knew existed. and these are just one example of that. i saw the back of the package card and saw the Magic: the Gathering logo and was curious of what it was. and there was a creature holding a book, and looking for the label of what it is, i was astonished that it read Dark Ritual. and i'm thinking well damn, some company did a line of miniatures of M:tG based off of the cards themselves. and then i saw another one. looked at the miniature but didn't recognized it. and then i saw the label, Ragman. i was like a fat kid in a candy store.
