Slow week in the office, means plenty of painting time!
So I have had a little bit of time to sit at the painting table this week. The ranks of Black Vasken are swelling with new followers.

I have also entered the Oldhammer Legacy Warband 2014. Here is the bard I painted up.

We also have my red owl that i painted up for the 100 painting club.

As always Enjoy!

Gav: Is a surprisingly frail troll. However what he lacks in toughness he more then makes up for in raw violence. He will wade into battle like a prince of murder. He now fights along side the fabled Nigel. When they are together they will reap a battlefield bloody.

Dogs: This pack of dogs makes for an explosive and thunderous cacophony when loosed on the enemy. They can be used as a light anti personnel mortar. It takes a crew of three to handle them. One warrior spots for targets, one keeps the remaining dogs under control. The last points the dog towards the target, slipping the muzzle and collar.

In practice the dog is supposed to race towards the target, and when it makes its first bite will explode, maiming and killing the target. However these dogs are not the most intelligent beings, and are easily distracted. They have even been known to return to the battery unexploded, making for a tense few seconds.

Metal Mane: Is an extremely hyper and violent warrior. His energy comes from the many potions he creates, and drinks. Never knowing what the next potion will do to him makes for an interesting battle companion.

Imbedding with our elite LRRP Recon
Imperial servitor Tarkanus got to imbed with one of the latest recon patrols. This is what he observed as our boys in blue head out to pull some surveillance on some orks.

"I thought I was imbedding into an elite unit, I mean these guys are supposed to be airborne and shit. What I found is that they are a bunch of home erotic f*#tards that I wouldn't trust around my own mother for fear of having to call them....Dad?!?

I seriously don't know how our training standards have fallen this far! I will have to make a vehement report to the commandant when I get back."....

...." We inserted into our dropzone in the dead of night. It was supposed to be silent and quick. That is until Trooper Gatling fell and farted when he hit the ground. Instead of pulling security his whole squad busted into giggles, till Sgt. Harper growled at them to be quiet."...
Page_16.png

...."We then marched through the night to our hidesite in an abandoned village 12 clicks away. It was pretty quite except for Radio Operator Grove whining the whole time about how is ruck was so heavy with all his extra batteries. He kept asking me to take a few but I refused. We set up our observation post. Lt. Jones and Sgt. Harper inspected the line making sure everything was as it should be."
Page_17.png

...."We set in for a long week of surveillance. It is pretty monotonous, I guess that's why the troopers have become so unprofessional. Last night they stripped Trooper Bazooka naked, tied him up, then poured honey and crushed up crackers all over him. Seriously how long do I have to stay out here with these guys? I might call into galactic command to send a ship in for me. "....

...." Things have gotten pretty tense over the night. Ork patrols have smelled us and are now searching for our position. The Patrol is on high security, as we observe their movements. One of the surveillance teams came in earlier with several ork heads. When I told them that the were not supposed to engage the enemy they just shrugged and said they had gotten to close. I have had just about enough of this unit. I have called into galactic command for a ship to come pick me up. I am not staying out with these degenerates one more night!"....

Sgt. Harper acting commander 2nd recon patrol: " Well that idiot Tarkanus called in a ship from galactic command, without me or the LT knowing. As it came in it began to take rocket fire from ork tribesmen out in the sandy dunes. As it landed outside the compound is when things really heated up.
Page_19.png

I guess an ork patrol followed the ship in, with out saying a word to any of us Tarkanus just ran for the ship. The Lt saw the Orks and ran to cover Tarkanus. The orks opened up, a slugga round slammed into Tarkanus nearly cutting him in half. The boys really opened up trying to cover the Lt and the ship. Lt reached Tarkanus and tried pulling his body back, while waving off the ship. He then took a plasma round evaporating him and Tarkanus into blue goo. The pilot saw this and puked as he was taking off. He must have got some puke on the controls cause he banked hard crashing right into the ork patrol. I took the recon team up to check for survivors, but they were all dead.

I gathered up the patrol, and called in an extraction point 3 clicks away. We moved hard and fast, and Trooper Grove bitched about how heavy his extra batteries where the whole time. "
 
So I got my new Heroquest board today! The old board was good, but I really wanted a change up. I love how it turned out. I got all the images from various sources across the internet. I then did a rough cut and paste jobs, then reskinned it with a comic book wash. It turned out perfect, can't wait to get some games in on this.

Thanks guys! The squares on this one are around 35mm. The one's on my original one are 50mm squares. But it was getting way to big to reach across the table. That's why I got a slightly smaller one, and I was getting bored with the same old board need to freshen it up.
 
Getting back into the "Wing" of things.

Not sure why but I have really been getting the itch to get my Deathwing Army on the table top. I have never actually played Rogue Trader or anything 40k. so it would be an entirley new venture. The only reason I have this army is for Space Hulk and I got really inspired to paint them a few years back from site such as:
Vanus Temple- Where I got the display board and objectives.
From the Warp
Anyway I had them out and decided to take some new pics. I had made some slight changes, there are some other little touch up i would like to do as well. Interesting not on the banner. I actually cut it out of a white Dwarf, and painted over the page. I felt it was a nice bit of nostalgia and maybe it will bring the banner a little luck on the dice rolling. I will be bringing these to Oldhammer Allentown! Possibly with some super secret additions.

Got my new Rogue Trader Schmendrick in the command squad. I am currently adding in the 40K Worg from Hassle Free. He is currently on the painting table.

I really liked how the chaplain turned out.

I really need to get some names painted on these dreads.

You can tell I'm a fantasy player, hardly a ranged weapon in sight. STABBY STABBY! It's the only way to go. Well at least I think so, possibly a bit Stillmaniacentric. ;)
 
The original OG triple trile OG



So my character Schmendrick as has had a long road of creation. First he was Aldred the Fellblade. Then Aldred the Fellcleaver, till I have finally settled on Schmendrick. First he was an Imperial Cavalry general, then he fell on hard times, and turned to banditry and other roguish behavior. Now he seems to be on the upswing with a small band of followers. He now clears dungeons throughout the Oldworld.

The picture the started it all. From White Dwarf 125

Page_14.png

This was the original figure that started it all. I was going to make an empire cavalry general. I wanted a terminator on a horse. Here turned out perfect on his mighty steed Kringer.
This figure now sits on my admiring shelf. I leave the real fighting to my footslogging Schmendricks. From the Left: The 2nd Schmendrick, the new chaos schmendrick, and of course my Rogue Trader/Space Hulk Schmendrick.

My new Skeleton army
Here we have my new skeleton general, and some accompanying swarms of bats. The second picture is the army arrayed for battle ready to spring from their graves to bring ruin and despair among the scattered villages. Ha Ha Ha. Ya it's still in the box. I might actually have to play a game like this.....we will see. ;)

Rankin Woodenheart
Here we have a wee hobbit! I picked this little guy up on a whim. For some reason I am always drawn to halflings, and will find an excuse to paint one anytime. It doesn't help that the Hobbit cartoon was one of my favorites growing up.

I went with a pretty simple scheme of brown, and foundry night sky triad. All the swords in the Rankin Bass cartoons are always white or glowing. So this little guy gets his glowing when spiders are around!

The fable of Rankin Woodenheart is known to all children of the wee folk. It is a tale of how one's curiosity can get you into trouble. Rankin was a curious sort of halfling, who was always ranging far about the countryside. One day he happened upon a sword and shield.

To test his mettle he decided to guard a patch of cabbage against a family of racoons. Swift and sharp was the combat. Rankin was thoroughly flushed from the excitement, though he was glad he actually hadn't killed any of the racoons. For his bravery he decided to paint a wooden heart on his shield to remind him that he had stood against many foes. The tale of his bravery for saving the cabbage spread through out the village.

Then one day Rankin heard of another foe deep in the forest. It was rumored that a giant spider had made it's home in the Briarwood. Swelled with confidence and pride from his combat in the cabbage patch, Rankin decided to go investigate.

He gathered his gear, and set off at the crack of dawn....never to be seen again!

This Grenadier barbarian was my orginal Heroquest hero a few years back. He has now been retired in favor of Schmendrick. We also have his barbarian bride from Foundry.

I thought I would show them off next to my Steve Dean barbarian that I won off Ebay. I can't get enough of these Mark Copplestone Grenadier barbarians!

They are still available from various companies. The most complete range is done by Mirliton miniatures out of Italy.
 
So I had been after the C23 Mutant Ogre for awhile now. Well the wait is over. Not only did I score 1 but 2! I decided to bump my chaos armies troll unit up to 4 as any good Khorne player should. I have also added a commander in the form of Serial Eve with her magical "Goonies Never Say Die" Banner. Which has been Chunk approved giving it 4 truffle shuffles out of 5!
