Michaels 25mm WFB Stuff...

[Michael Stockin]

Thank you!!

Only 2 more undead to paint and then on to the townsfolk, very much looking forward to one off paintjobs, does get a bit tedious doing rank and file...

 

[symphonicpoet]

Glorious! Great skellies.

 

[Michael Stockin]

Thank you.

 

[Slave to Darkness]

Looking good. Is it just Krell and Heinrich left?

Are those Spearmen the Nightmare Legion chaps?

 

[Michael Stockin]

Thanks.

Yes.

Yes. ( Helblitzen )

 

[Slave to Darkness]

*add Nightmare Legion to shopping list*
Hopefully Xmas funds will make that doable.

So when are you gonna get some battle reports done? Or is that after you build more scenery?

 

[Michael Stockin]

So the main story is the coming undead.
But the star of the show is the village and what happens to it.

This means things other than the undead menace will feature.

I have already introduced a local Orcish warband :

But there is Fraulein Pfiezel and the sweet pork to come.

Also we will meet Felsbloch the troll as seen HERE

Plus once the undead are finished there are loads of buildings and villagers to do before the main story, and I have a mini project to do once that all gets too tedious which will be a story of something coming to visit the village.

So plenty to do before the undead story starts, but other smaller but no less entertaing things to come.

 

[Slave to Darkness]

Are those orcs the em4 ones?

 

[Michael Stockin]

Yup. Apart from Scrotter Brokenstaff ofc.

 

[twisted moon]

the nightmare legion are looking good.

 

[Michael Stockin]

Thank you!!

 

[Michael Stockin]

Ugh, still not properly recovered from the flu and certainly not been minded to paint anything.

However, keen to try and do some hobby shizz I did venture out and bought some small units to help store bits and spare models.




I got some nice drawers for models yet to be painted:






And these for storing the bits and bobs.








So if anyone needs a few skulls or undead arms with weapons, you know who to ask.

 

[Brother Meredith]

Looks very smart!
Just be careful storing older lead models in wooden cabinets as more prone to dampness if in humidity high rooms.

 

[Michael Stockin]

Thanks. Hopefully the room is dry enough and also hopefully now my models are easy to get to I will start plowing through them.

 

[Fimm McCool]

Ooh, they're a bit tasty! Yes, ventilate well.

 

[Michael Stockin]

Is it worth popping some of my silica sachets in there?

 

[Fimm McCool]

Probably only if you have preslotta Citadel in there.Seems to be a particular era with high lead content prone to the rot.

 

[Brother Meredith]

Was talking to a chap at BOYL this year who has lost a load of pre-slotta minis to leadrot. They were stored in wooden boxes, but his partner had been using the room for clothes drying!! You have a dedicated room and well spaced models, so not likely to be so easily damaged.
On related note, I’ve had to discard climbing equipment (metal which of a safety rated strength and anodised) which had been damaged by metal “rot” after being stored in humid conditions…

 

[Old Hob]

Those draws are absolutely gorgeous. Presumably meant for organising screws and the like originally?

Sorry to hear you've been crook. Hoping you're feeling much better.

 

[Michael Stockin]

The lined one was made in 1882 by James Gardner who made collectors cases for the public, museums and the Queen.




The one with all the little teeny drawers has no information, but it came full of about 3000+ small metal printers letter face block thingies, like this:
