Mali-Guild-faux-ball...

While I reached a decision on my army for Winter War (Night Goblins), I'm lacking in motivation to paint the Great Green Horde just yet... so here's a few pics of what's on the workbench right now!

Dr. Grimwell and his motley crew, so very close to being finished

The not-so-mighty Fishermen - 3 games, not even a goal yet... Hopefully they'll play better with a finished paint job and a bit more practice!

A quick update...

So it's been a wee while since my last update - the Neverborn are finished & the Guild are all but the finishing details done (pics to follow soon as I remember!). While no Malifaux has been played, there are 2 crews to be built as I got a little carried away with buying up stuff. Mei Feng & Seamus's crews are in various stages of building & painting.

On the selling front, I've successfully cleared out the Dark Eldar as well, only a handful of Eldar remain as a painting project, along side the Guard (who may see action in an strictly non-competitive way if there's ever a casual game at the club!).

In my quest to win a 3rd Best Army award of the year, I've foolishly decided to build a 3rd army - Skarsnik's Night Goblins are on the table - about half built and some awful old paint jobs to be re-done in the next 2 months before DWARF's Winter War - wish me luck dear readers!

....oh, amd do hassle me for photos of the Malifaux bits before I drown in a see of goblin green!

Neverborn progress...

Malifaux progress - been meaning to post these for a while but life has a tendency to get in the way!

In other news, I  am in the midst of selling off the bulk of my 40K collection. The Eldar are mostly gone, a few painting projects being kept, CSMs are all gone, Dark Eldar are in the maybe pile... only the Guard remain as they were my first 40k army and will always be a special project.

Anyway, just a short post tonight as I am actually working on my WFB Chaos for DWARF's Cry Havoc tournament in a week and a half! Here are Angel Eyes and her crew in progress- getting doing to the last details now...

A nice change of pace from Warhammer

Update...

The Army: Vampire Counts

Run as Undead Legions at Fall of the Old World 2 

Lined up for some painting votes... 

My run down of how the army ran in its first tournament will follow, along with better pics of the completed units, but put briefly I lost 3 for 3. It was fun, but I didn't do enough damage to my opponents, and was slaughtered in my last game against Dale's vicious DE/Carmine Dragon list.

Individual unit profiles to follow when I get the chance.

Death comes on swift wings...

4 painting days to go....

With Fall of the Old World 2 on Saturday, it's a race to get things finished, will our hero make it? Will the Old World fall? Stay tuned for our next thrilling instalment...

 

Growing the ghoul horde, raising some more zombies, and summoning the Morghasts 

My, what a big halberd you have... 

Raising reinforcements...

In a bid to get some heavy hitters into the VC before Fall of the Old World 2 on the 26th, on the painting table this week we have...

A couple of Morghast Archai and another Strigoi....

Some more ghouls, some nice alternative Fell bats and another half a dozen wolves

Really it's just a break from piles of zombies and building skeletons - I think after I get it to 3000pts, I'll need a change of scene for a wee while, all this necrotic flesh is warping my world view!

An expanded world?

In its randomly updated state, this blog has really just been about GW models, but I think I might explore a bit more in my ramblings.

Admittedly, there are few folks reading this, but it might be fun to see how long I can keep this going this time around - after all, I tend to lose motivation on the blog after a few entries, so expanding its remit might help...

On the horizon:

Zombicide, the one mini game that my significant other & partner in crime actually likes, and encourages us to play - we've just got Season 1 and a couple of expansion packs, but we had a fun Christmas/New Year period playing lots of this...

Finally, a game that my girlfriend enjoys...

Malifaux M2E, an impulse purchase after repeatedly seeing my girlfriend looking at the minis in the local gaming store - we'll see if this takes off or not...Got a Starter Set coming and my eyes on a Mei Feng box - kick-ass girl with a bunch of augmented labourers for back-up? Yes please...

Ok, no minis yet, but we bought a book...
