december january february march and may 10mm elf rangers from magister militum it has been a while since i posted here but i have been slowly catching up with the updates on my modeling log after falling well behind still painting 10mm fantasy but now adding some scenic elements edit it often helps to include a link when referring to a different webpage d oh posted by david at 22 39 no

while it s been several months since i last updated this blog i have continued to potter away painting 10mm war of the spanish succession and more recently 10mm fantasy figures barbarian warhost figures from kallistra eureka spellcrow while i love my 15mm fantasy figures the level of detail and the shear variety of poses and types i m finding myself drawn to 10mm fantasy and the possibility of huge battles at a reasonable cost rules wise for fantasy i m still looking at lords and lands which i have played and enjoyed ad d battlesystem which would fit in nicely with our ad d game though i would probably modify it to get rid of individual casualty removal and added to the mix with sword and shield i took part in the playtest and quite liked the rules at that point chronicles of blood a simple solo system recently recommended to me and battle valor war of the spanish succession brigade figures from pendraken and a local sculptor for war of the spanish succession we have been using black powder from warlord games which gives a fun quick game john and i managed to fit in a couple of battles during the christmas break and are getting the hang of it i have five brigades completed and enough figures to make up a couple more more photos here posted by david at 22 18 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 10mm fantasy 10mm wss black powder painting progress monday 21 august 2017 15mm fantasy 10mm wss painting log update for july finally updated my modelling log for july with some dwarves and wood elves and the first 10mm scale figures i ve painted for a war of the spanish succession project 10mm hesse kassel brigade for the war of the spanish succession there is some debate as to whether the war of the spanish succession or the later seven years war should be considered the first world war as conflicts take place in both the new world and the old world during this period we are initially planning to use the black powder rules from warlord games though i m also keen to give twilight of the sun king a try as well and of course painting up 10mm war of the spanish succession figures has got me interested in 10mm fantasy orcs ogres and giants are on the way posted by david at 18 09 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 10mm 10mm wss 15mm fantasy painting progress saturday 8 july 2017 15mm fantasy some thoughts on basing occasionally the subject of multi basing comes up i thought it might be useful to show how i do it in case my process helps inspire someone else having completed painting up a unit of 15mm dwarves or dwarians from battle valor games i first glued the figures to the bases with pva glue i use 40mm x 20mm or 40mm x 40mm bases for a regimental foot print of 80mm x 40mm though lately i ve started to move towards a 120mm x 40mm foot print and a larger unit the 80mm x 40mm regimental foot print works well for lord and lands and kings of war while the larger unit works better for battlesystem the right hand base currently only has five figures on it the missing figure the standard bearer is still on the painting lid while i work on the standard once the glue holding the figures had dried i painted the bases with a pva and water mix and then added sand for texture while that was drying i added some larger stones as boulders i kept the space where the standard bearer was to go clear of sand so there would be a clean surface for the glue to grip in the background the unit s standard made from standard weight printer photocopier paper has been added to the standard pole once the sand and pva mix had dried i then painted the sanded base with black undercoat to seal it once the undercoat had dried i then painted the bases with my base green tamiya nato green xf 67 and painted the boulders and some of the sand games workshop mechanicus standard grey in my fantasy world all stones are granite or slate the eagle on the dwarian standard is a veni vidi vici transfer and the patterning on the yellow border was made with a fine tipped felt tipped pen once the paint was dry and the standard was complete the standard bearer was glued to the base after everything had dried i then coated areas of the base with a pva and water mix and then flocked i have two different colours of flock i use as fields do not tend to be a uniform green colour the completed unit painting on the pva water mix allowed me to control where the flock adhered which allowed the boulders to pretty much emerge from the flock unscathed and that s pretty much it given the drying times of each process i tend to paint the figures during the weekend and then work through the basing during the week one step each evening further

battle valor games eureka miniatures painting progress wednesday 5 april 2017 rpgs the trouble with trolls last weekend we resumed our ad d game after a brief hiatus the party had discovered a pair of enchanted jars which transported a person from one jar to the other one jar was located in the dungeon under the old ruined town of poulcatte we had moved it from where we had first discovered it to a more defensible location while the other had been in an abandoned house in the new town of poulcatte until we moved it to our house which we were forced to sell to the temple in return for some resurrections due to a partial tpk and then to our lodgings at the sleeping dragon inn we had had some plans to use the jars to give us ready and secret access to the dungeon but on the occasion of the partial tpk we had discovered that the trolls who had caused the partial tpk could also pass through the jars into the basement of our house after a fierce battle and some blind luck the invading trolls were dispatched the dead members of the party were carted off for resurrection and the house still reeking of burnt troll was handed over to the temple to settle the outstanding bill a few days later ie at the start of the latest session the party decided to return to the dungeon to explore some more and hopefully recoup some of their financial losses bayern finds two trolls in the jar room 15mm fighter figure from splintered light miniatures 15mm trolls from alternative armies hot fantasy range 15mm door from ral partha europe dungeon tiles from hirst arts on our previous excursion the one that went rather pear shaped and nearly resulted in a tpk asingel the mighty half elf fighter had been the first to pass through the magic jars into the jar room and had then been surprised by the trolls this time bayern the ranger decided to lead popping out of the magic jar in the jar room he discovered two trolls peering down the hole at the far end of the room which lead to the giant mushroom cavern same scene different angle my first opportunity to use the dungeon tiles i had painted up very pleased with the result as he had surprise on the trolls bayern was able to leap back through the magic jar to warn the rest of us of the presence of trolls undeterred by the danger we decided to attack we discovered that by carefully positioning ourselves around the magic jar multiple people could pass through the jar at once the party enters the jar room and the trolls attack halbeard the dwarf fighter bayern the ranger and asingel the fighter formed the front rank with caine the magic user cleric and arloc the fighter assassin in support the trolls obliged by charging after defeating the trolls the party debated which way to explore through the large room at the end of the corridor or further down the small passage that ran off to the left after a brief yet fierce battle the trolls were dispatched in the time honoured fashion during this process it was noted that both trolls had an oddly deformed ear the party then debated as to which direction to explore bayern spots another troll this settled the direction in which to explore each tile square is 6 so the troll in the far room is just on the edge of bayern s ir vision range at this point bayern scouted the hall outside the jar room and spotted another troll lurking way down the passage in the next large room bayern chases after the troll as the rest of the party trail along behind as bayern rangered his way down the hall the troll moved out of sight towards the door to the right giving chase the party fought and dispatched this troll as well again it had a deformed ear very puzzling through the door to the right we found a magic jar wedged in the ceiling of the next room periodically a blob of flesh would drop through the jar land on the floor and then grow into a troll ewww we suspect that a troll is trapped against the other end of the magic jar and as it regrows the damage inflicted upon it by the jar a piece of troll flesh is removed by the jar and dropped into this room where it becomes a clone of the original troll bayern managed to wedge a piece of dungeon detritus into the mouth of the jar which seemed to stop the troll pieces coming through there is a possibility we have set up a feedback loop where the piece of troll flesh will bounce backwards and forwards between the magic jars until a rather confused troll regenerates and breaks out one end or the other beyond this room we found another series of corridors and another troll this troll was dispatched by arloc who sneaked up and assassinated it to be continued this was the first opportunity i have had to use my new hirst arts dungeon tiles we were all pleased at how well these worked and looked on the table i
