Spoopy Table!

Been on a bit of a break since the Abyssal Dwarves were finished so I might as well take care of some back log!  For October I made a spooky swamp board complete with terrain.



Standard 4x8 table with a line to bring it down to a 6 footer.  As usual the board is MDF board primed black and this time plenty of colors put down with a final coat of grey texture paint.  The swampy pools are simple colors with a layer of vallejo water.



The buildings are all Halloween village decorations with a fresh sepia wash to make them look a little older and more realistic.


The Skull-zeebo was an instant must have for this board.


The hills came from the same company who did the buildings and after a few coats of spray cans fit in well.


The new obsidian crypt from reaper is a great buy if you're looking for a cheap and durable piece of terrain.  Paints up pretty fast too!

Obviously there are still armies to paint so here's a teaser for the next project:  Brotherhood!

The Finish Line!

And with two new units the Abyssal Dwarves are done!


 I had to finish out one more regiment of Immortal Guard which were rather boring but it's nice to have two of them now!


Finally in order to end on a high note I did the Berzerkers.  They are doused in blood and standing over their fallen enemies.


and on top of that they have sweet tats and apparently drink lava!


If you want to check out the whole army at once head on over to the complete projects!

Nearing the Finish Line

It's been over two years (obviously off and on) since I started the old chaos dwarf army for the King of the Mountain GT.  Those were my very last warhammer fantasy games (which was an awesome send off) before switching to Kings of War which I happily did.  Those little guys took home not only best chaos dwarf (sure there were only two of us!) but best painted as well and have been near and dear to me ever since.

Now though they are nearing a completed and nearly 5000 point Abyssal dwarf army.  Plenty of mixed models as well as some home brew conversions have made this an insane but fun project.  Anywho here are a few more units to add to the legion:



Had to do another troop of gargoyles since they really are just amazing chaff units.  My only real complaint for these models has been that they tend to be confusing as a tall model that just happens to be height 1.  Of course when they look sweet on the table who cares if it confuses both yourself and the opponent right?


These little beutes came from a friend.  Neither he or I have a clue as to where these guys came from.  Some kind of world war I/II crossover dwarves.  They were super sinister and as much as I would like to use the mantic ones I couldn't resist using these as my dragon fire teams.


Another troop of Half Breeds are finished which means I can do two full regiments of the beasts.


Finally the last horde of Black Souls.  Despite some of them having shields I tend to use them as the two handed weapons version since they have big weapons and HUGE hats!  This was deffinately one of the hardest set of models to get ahold of and since the prices just keep rising on the old big hats I put in a unit filler made of the old metal Deff Dread with a happily maniacal dwarf driving it.

Only another regiment of Immortals and a regiment of berserkers to go now before I stick a fork in it...
