twisted moon's 2024

[MichaelStockin]

had high hopes for orctober, but they were dashed by real life.

You OK?

 

[Orjetax]

Orctober should certainly extend to menace Gnomevember anyway. What a fun project

better than many; thank you for your concern though. it was just a busy month and a bit.

 

[twisted moon]

What a fun project

The traction engine is brilliant.

The traction engine is brilliant.

thank you too.
i'm trying to keep things ticking over, which means little tasks at the moment.



i've had this viking beserker since the '80's. i even painted it back in the day.



when i decided to focus my fantasy human forces into the company of the yellow boot, i put this to one side to convert into a spear armed slave for clan renj.



however, i haven't quite been able to bring myself to do it, and so decided to strip and repaint as an addition to my punks.



he's got the same strange, sallow, skin shade of my forlorn hope punk with crossbow, which i'm pleased i managed to replicate.
i'm thinking of running a multi-player game of pvnkz, using htese and various other of my sci-fi figures, if i can persuade a few people to pop over.

Great work - love the tractor and the barbarian, especially his fancy greaves/pants

 

[twisted moon]

thank you. i was attempting iconic punk tartan, but too much white got in the mix (i.e. i couldn't paint thin enough lines).
here are some more slaves for my skaven, sneaking in before the start of deadcember.



barbarian alternia from alternative armies, in the middle, and four eureka miniatures amazon peltasts.



the amazons, again are two piece sculpts with the shields cast onto the left hand and forearm. these shields are quite small crescents, so i just glued my usual ones over the top.

Getting painting hopes dashed by RL getting in the way is a think I completely understand, sadly. But man, I love that MDF carnival tractor. Looks lovely. And it's hard to argue with your Amazons. (I have a difficult time arguing with naked women generally. Give them spears and I'm just done for.)

And it's hard to argue with your Amazons.

they do have convincing arguments.

i was shocked to discover, at the start of deadcember, that i was down to my last two scarecrows, a rapier miniatures one and another of unknown origin traded with @MichaelStockin.
Since i needed seven to complete my hand weapon unit, i decided to bash up another five from what i had to hand.



bits of sprue, sticks of various kinds, wine bottle foil, oathmark and frostgrave arms, a mantic ratkin sword blade, plastic skulls and a skeleton army helmet.



then i painted them in a customary colour scheme.



here they are interspersed in the rest of the unit.



i thought that completed my scarecrow project, but it appears i only have fifteen in my two-handed weapon unit. i'm going to double check, but if that is so, i will perhaps bash up another five of those too.
it's highly unlikely that will happen before christmas though. in fact this might be my last output of the year.

Noice.

I can't for the life of me think where I got them from though.

if it's going spare i won't object.
is there anything in my trade pile: https://forum.oldhammer.org/threads/twisted-moons-mooted-trades.28198/ you'd like in exchange?

 

[MichaelStockin]

Nothing that I can use, don't worry though. PM me your address and I will pop it in the post.
