Mighty Fortress

-

 late summer last year i was able to acquire a Games Workshop
Mighty Fortress.
i was reluctant on taking the fortress at first,
but i was talked into it.
only now i took the time to actually put it together and
be amazed by all of it's glory.



had to look up online to see when this set came out.
and it surprises even though for it's age and material it is in pretty good condition.
came out in 1988, i feel like a collector for owning such a classic piece of GW.



made out of foam,
after all these years it is great shape.
complete with accessories such as doors, gates and even ladders.


all layout, its under three feet long and just about 1.5ft wide.
i didn't paint it or anything.
i left it as is because i don't want to damage and ruin the fortress.


"this stronghold will fall tonight, surrender to us or die!"


"milady, the ravenous horde is here!"


"i summon the great lord of the winds, cast down with your might!"


"break down that door, Roshakuna!!"


"nothing can't with stand the raw power of a minotaur armed with a great axe."

      Damage? I don't think you would damage it by painting it up. You could make it look incredible as it should. Collectors keep things in sealed boxes and clamshells. You've already set it on the table and lined up your soldiers on the ramparts. Toys are meant to played with and are the secret to staying young at heart. Collectors just get old 😃.

      damage wasn't the right word. i wouldn't want to mess it up with paint, it looks nice as is.
      it is too cool not to use in a game.

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...
