Gargoyles and Forts

Its cold so a great time to warm up by painting lava!  Got the first troop of gargoyles done for the Abyssal Dwarves:

And for good measure a little more progress on the campaign markers with the fortresses being finished:

Natural Diversions

Wanted to try out some new nature units so I made some Niaad Wyrmriders.  Obviously this translates into worms riding trees because nature:

And a little more work on the campaign this time painting up a few villages.  Considering their scale and age I'm impressed with these micro sculpts from the bygone era:

Dwarves, Cities and Castles

So a few things are in the works.  First up I'm returning to my Chaos Dwarf (Now Abyssal Dwarves) both for playing in a campaign and hopefully going to the Lady of the Lake GT in Minnesota!

So first up I want three Rocket Launchers which I made from the GW Empire artillary sprues:

Painting up hordes of the little buggers is all well and good and even possible in the 6+ months I have but unfortunately I can't spend all that time on just evil dwarves (yep life isn't fair at all).  So a few unit fillers will need to be made in order to chop down the painting time a bit.  They also make the units look a bit less 'samey' as they break up the rank and file look a bit.

And as for those other projects well there is a TON of work to be done before I can convert and play a mighty empires campaign combined with Kings of War. In order to do that I need to paint up the tiniest scale I have ever done.  Just to prove here's a dwarf dwarfing a bunch of cities:

And what good are cities and forts without siege battles?  I'm also working on not only building siege equipment and castle terrain but creating rules that will work both with the campaign and KoW.  The first playtest worked surprisingly well but needs a few tweaks.  The fancy pants brigade did sadly lose to the elves but only just!  

There is a ton of work to be done yet before we can begin playing but this should be a truly epic campaign!

Blood Bowl Time!

With the new release its time to start up a brand new Blood Bowl leage at the store!  As such we needed a demo that would be particularly manly!

I present the Cuddle Crushers:

And to face the the Fancy Pants Parade:

Finally since I'm a Kings of War fanatic I'm working on combining the old Mighty Empires campaign into KoW so I've been working on adding more tiles in and magnetizing an entire set of mighty empires.  This may take some time....

I still need more tiles if we are to bump it up to 4 players so I'll have to grab another copy of Catan to butcher!
