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.

cultists and some sneaky gnomes

to be honest i have not done much since last month. kind of took a gaming break overall, from painting, gaming and even touching a figure. after the last batch of MotU figures and trying to get another unit done for Silver Bayonet done, i was losing my enthusiasm for it. so i'm doing little things here and there. getting some figures' bases redone or small D&D characters done for adventures, but large projects are starting to overwhelm me. i guess my age is creeping up on me faster than i thought.  back in may of last year i purchased several plastic sprues of Frostgrave cultists and assembled them but didn't do anything with them for a while. i ended up painting them a few weeks ago for some encounters for our D&D group. i separated the characters who are armed with a certain style of blades from the others and gave them small shields. i also glued heads with exposed faces or masks on these particular figures compared to the rest i made. some armed with crossbows a

my girlfriend Rita told me the other week that her youngest son joined a D&D school club and we needed to write up a character sheet. we sat and picked a race/class and her youngest Sam picked of all things, gnome barbarian named Hamish. we rolled for stats and filled out all the slots and information for him to play his first legit D&D game. so a week later we were told the person who's running the D&D club is starting the characters at level 3, why i have no idea, you figured new players would start at level 1? so we "leveled up" Sam's character and we played out a small session to get Sam familiar with the basic rules. Breena and Hamish explores the sewers under the city, only to run into a black pudding. from the shadows the a tortle emerges. the ascended dragon, Quirog!   didn't realize how much damage the black pudding, so i added some help to the adventurers. crawling down a sewer pipe, Hamish runs into a Banderhobb. this was a mistake being tha

Knights of Kirin

after i painted my orc warbands for the ORCtober challenge, i pulled together a miscellaneous group of villainous proportion. i had this group painted for a few months, but only now came around to take pics and post them on here. and i figure since i am going through a fantasy themed moment might as well post now. i wanted this group a very mix of characters and races, and what can to be was a group of humans, beastmen, and an orc. Knights of Kirin. Mordek has hired some muscle to aid him in finding the mythical Wyrmrest Blade. some say it is lost forever in time, but forbidden texts reads that a powerful wizard knows the whereabouts of it. a seer of the dark magik, Kirin Tenebris. Malagor, a beastman banished from his tribe. Brak, orc mercenary of the Bad Moon clan Wulfrik, a Chaos champion. Roshakuna, a minotaur who is in service to Kirin Tenebris and also disliked by Malagor.
