AMBUSH!!

-

 been cracking at painting my fantasy miniatures lately and
dug out my orc warbands and had a little confrontation
with two of my favorite warbands that i've done.
using Fistful of Lead rules this was surprisingly brutal.

the Dragonclaw clan is about to fall prey to the Fel Orcs in an ambush
in the barren wasteland of the Thousand Needles.


the trap is set...


orcish archers place themselves up on the high ground,
overlooking what could be the kill zone.


the Dragonclaw clan is hesitates forward,
and the trap is sprung..




an orc with a spear and shield takes on arrows but becomes shaken and tries to hide it.
even though shaken, the Dragonclaw orc charges in,
but is taken out as a result of incredible dice rolling,
depends on how you look at it.


an Fel orc charges towards the leader of the Dragonclaw clan but it struck
by a magical bolt of fire.
the Dragonclaw orc boss commands someone to attack.
an orc charges in and is overcome but survives.


the warboss of the Fel orcs raises his arm that has a blade on the end of it,
and plunges it into the poor orc and killing him.


the surviving members of the Dragonclaw clan fall back,
to fight another day.

had a fun time playing some 40k Kill Team with friend Jayson and his Thousand Sons. despite losing, i had a lot of fun and my friend was getting kick out of his new Kill Team also. and also learn some thing about my own Kill Team and the general rules of the game.   even though the dice were not in my favor today, least i got to use my Death Guard dice.  Thousands Sons deployment  my girlfriend took a picture, her first time watching me game and watch a full game being played out she thought it was neat and cute...not sure how cute this was.... anyways in the pic.. the Death Guard advance and i did manage to take out a follower of Tzeentch.  Death Guard advance.  taking wounds.  taking a beating from the Tzaangors... or the chicken goat f***ks.  looking down the barrel of a soulreaper cannon.  the chicken goat bastards giving the Death Guard Champion and another marine a run for the...

legion of undead

still plugging away at the mess of undead miniatures i still have. these skeletons are from the Undead Encounter pack from Mantic Games. i went with a simple color scheme, i didn't want to spend a lot of time on them. the so called leader of the group. with the simple color and shading these came out nicely. i might go back and retouch the eyes, maybe add a green glow or redness in the eye sockets. rest of the group. way these came out i might purchase another pack of these, add more to the more ranks. Beholder Zombie. this fellow was fun to paint. cannot wait to unleash this on my D&D group. (insert evil laugh here) Crawling Claws. wanted to make some low CR creatures for this weekend's game, and since the group is heading to a den of evil what better way than this. made from dismembered hands from an old GW zombie plastic set. last year i came across some board games called Dark World, and the miniatures were pretty cool to use elsewhere in my table top games. so i used t...

for the Lord of Wolf, for Russ!

ever since my last game of 40k Kill Team with my buddy Jayson, i've been thinking on a second team for the game. lots of ideas were swirling in my head. and i narrowed it down to the faction i always wanted ever since i first started playing 40k back in 2nd edition. the honorable and ferocious Space Wolves. with all the new material coming out for 9th edition and what has been out already i have to say i am disappointed on how much character the new Primaris space marines lack. i mean yeah there's the upgrade packs you could get but still there isn't much to separate one group of Primaris marines from another of a different chapter except shoulder pads. so deciding on this i went with the classic look of the Space Wolves. but with that also there is only a few units and not much i can use if i do a non-Primaris Kill Team. and with these marine i also tried the Citadel Colour Contrast paints. and i have to say i like them very much. very easy...
