monsters and more british

-

 at first i did not want to spend a lot on the Silver Bayonet but i caught the
bug and now i am looking into and want to do a warband of russians.
but for now last week i got a box of redcoats for expanding the 95th i already have
and also create a solid unit of soldiers along with other recruits.


once again i picked up a box of Perry Miniatures, this time british line infantry.
also with this box i was able to make a few extra characters like a veteran hunter,
a supernatural investigator, and another character from the Sharpe tv show.

still need to paint my french unit and i will admit i am kinda intimidated because i want
to do justice with the correct uniform colors and such. 

in between assembling the units for Silver Bayonet i have been painting the creatures and
monsters for the game also.
about 99% of the monsters i got for this game are from Next Level Miniatures.
pretty much the reason why is because they are cheap and cost effective.


some ghosts to haunt the final resting ground for the fallen.


Next level Miniatures had this Glabrezu and didn't realize it was a demon in D&D,
i was thinking this crab demon would do good for Silver Bayonet.
so now i have something for both games.
win-win!!


a ghastly ghoul.


a troll hulk roaming the hillside looking for human flesh to eat!

Lt. Sharpe and the Chosen Men run into a troll in the woods.
it may not be a cave troll...but a troll is a troll!!

    Another great update to your Silver Bayonet project. Those monsters look first-rate, and having paid their website a visit I can see why you like them so much. I think the ghosts you've painted are particularly awesome looking - especially with your green palette.

      thank you so much.
      Next Level Miniatures in my opinion is a great choice for inexpensive and decent looking figures.
      there are some cleaning up but still i always keep the $$$ in mind.
      i slapchop and use Army Painter speedpaints on everything. the ghosts were done by layering shades of green.

      start with a dark shade and let dry then go back and drybrush a thin coat of white acrylic paint. after that i go over that with a lighter shade of green until i think it looks good enough.

    These look great! I'll echo Blaxkleric's comment, the green of the ghosts is excellent. They look like they're glowing!

more Blightlords

was able to two more Blight Terminators completed this week and also get a game of Battlefleet Gothic in before the weekend was over. like the Champion before i gave this particular Terminator a nice dose of Nurgle's Rot paint along his hanging entrails and elsewhere. kinda messed up on the helmet eyes but then second thought they sort of look like bug eyes so i didn't really make a fuss of it. with the Nurgle's Rot i made a nice puddle of ooze on the base to make it look like he is leaking really bad.  side views of the bolter arm and plague axe arm. i only oozed up the blades of the axe and very little on the axe itself, i didn't wanna make it a total mess.  few work -in-progress pics  this fellow is my first of three Terminators with magnetized range weapon arms. this Blightlord with be armed with a Blight Launcher and then also a Combi-Plasma Gun. more to come with this project.. three dow...

sci-fi industrial terrain additions

-

recently i made some small walls and few larger walls out of MDF square bases i had on hand that i wasn't going to do with. i decided to glue them together and paint them to go along with my already terrain set i have for my sci-fi pulp games. several pics of works-in-progress. used 25mm MDF square bases and glued them to cut pieces of an old fabric cutting board. with the larger wall sections, i used 50mm MDF squared bases and used a disposed receipt tape spool and a glued 20oz soda bottle cap on top. with not much attached to anything else, setting up obstacles and fortifications are always gonna be something different each game. reasons why i really like how these came out. even had a go at making doorways which they came out alright i guess. another pic with a different layout.
