Wild west posse 80% done

Today is the first game in our Club's IHMN campaign, and Ive been painting 250pts Wild West Show posse for it.

Productive day

Its been a while since I have managed to sit here enough to get as much done as today. I started learning faster painting to get stuff colored for fantasy battle tournament I registered today. One of my painpoints has been too slow painting style, I try to change that with my dark elves. I try to find optimal order and not care too much for mistakes.

So, at the end I got 8 elves, the test squad, finished. Also my wild west posse is cleaned and pinned for basing, they get basecoat tomorrow, and I get another batch of elves to the painting line.

Here's the day's work

Colours are too bland, but they are finished

 

Basing for desert

I suddenly remembered that I had one sample mini from Foundry that could be used in my upcoming posse of Wild West Show for In Her Majesty's Name. I slapped in some paint, but started working on creating a basing theme for the posse. As their numbers stay lowish, I thought I'd go on and do a bit extra, and try new stuff out.

Last of the vikings for now. ..and bloodbowlers

Managed to colorize the shieldmaiden group finally. Although I have a box full of pretty vikings waiting to be painted, I will take a short  break from them. Next up will be wild west show posse for the game In Her Majestys Name. Unless of course I have a really lucky break with matches, and manage to grow my BB team more, in which case a blitzer cuts in.

SAGA battlereport, The Battle For The Sheep!

Here is the latest battle for jomsvikings. My opponent now played against the wrath mechanic effectively not giving me nearly any wrath.
This means that I need to take a different approach to playing the battleboard, mainly relying more that he will rather give me activations etc. Also in battle there are pretty ok abilities even without wrath, I just need to start planning to use them.

In the escort scenario the other player tries to escort 3 assets over the field, and the other to prevent that.
Escorter wins if he gets 2 sheeps off the table, defender if he kills all 3 sheep. Any other result is a tie.

Onwards christian soldiers!

I bought wargames factory apocalypse survivors pack just for the heck of it, expecting really nothing. But boy, was I suprised.

The package is filled with armed civilian men parts, the conversion possibilities are endless with so many really nice improvised and conventional weapons.

2 weeks off from painting

1 week at Kos, then other at Bodrum, Turkey. Pretty damn refreshing!

As far as miniatures go, the nature here is a treasure chest. Small dry plants and plenty of clean uniform sand. Got to buy minigrip bags to hold everything.
