fantasy creatures and the french

-

 i haven't been very productive this past month, i guess mentally i am taking a break.
i have not done any type of gaming with my work schedule and even Rita's are
being rearranged and messed with setting time aside to game
is near impossible.

during this down time i was looking at a new game, Silver Bayonet from Osprey Games.
a napoleonic-horror skirmish table-top game.
being a horror fan this intrigues me,
but also being somewhat a historical game this is definitely outside of what i'm used to.

at this past Historicon last weekend,
i did manage to find a copy of Silver Bayonet and the supplement book
that takes place in Egypt.
i looked it over and ordered a box of infantry and elites from Perry Miniatures,
also a box of british rifles from Wargames Atlantic.


first of the plastic sets i ordered.
being the damn near first time getting into actual historical wargames,
i will take my time putting these together and painting.


i have to say Perry Miniatures are nice.
the painting guide is a plus especially for someone like me who is not familiar with
this kind of material.

i am actually excited to begin this project because this might be a good time to do some
reading and research on the subject.


i did find a few miniatures a good friend of mine gave me a few years ago,
come to find out they are french dragoons.
this will be an educational moment for me.



an alien-cosmic horror being that i purchased at a stand from the convention.
i believe its a Ral Partha miniatures.


awhile back i got several suits of armor for scattered terrain for interior gameplay.
these were very inexpensive and from Next Level Miniatures.
also on the workbench i have what would be animated suits of armor,
hopefully i'll get those done quickly. 


i bought a 3-D print from a local store of an elephantfolk that i used for a D&D session.
used this fellow as an alternate figure of the loxodon character Grumblehorn.

Rita bought an Army Painter paint set and inside there was this figure.
she didn't want it so i ended up painting it as a knight of valor.

more to come.

    Some fun stuff there. I hope you enjoy your trip into historical gaming, or at least, 'historical adjacent'.

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...
