Deadzone Scenery Completed

Hi All

Yey! I've finished the first set of Deadzone scenery and I'm pleased overall with it. The photos here show it set up on the gaming mat ready for a first test game so I can learn the rules.......










I've built most of a Rebs faction to face off against my Plague team, I ran through my first game with a few bumps and mistakes and a whole lot of rules checking and I have to say it 's a great game, there's lots to it for a skirmish game, I'm looking forward to the codes first Deadzone get-together.

that's it for now, more to come as I paint the Plague strike team......

The Final Deadzone Building

Hi All

I've finished the last building in my first set of deadzone terrain. Really pleased with this one too. I think I've got the verdigris effect a little better than on some of the other pieces.
Here's some piccies....







All I've got left are a few scatter pieces and then the first set is done and I can get on with the rest of my Plague strike team.

More to come soon....

Making a New Thunderwolf (bear) Lord

Hi All,

Doc is back to talk about my new thunderwolf mounted space wolf lord.  One problem with that statement he's actually mounted on a bear!  I'm a big fan of using alternative models to make my army stand out if possible.  So last year I went down to London and went in Dark Sphere and picked up Scibor's Celtic Lord mounted on a bear.

A Bit More Deadzone

Hi All

Thought I'd post a little one about my latest work on my Deadzone Plague models.
I wasn't entirely happy with the finish on the Stage 1 and 2 models, all that drybrushing gives a slightly powdery finish. So I tried an all over yellow glaze (Lamenters Yellow) to smooth out the colours and take away the powdery finish. Piccies,





Thoughts?
I'm pleased with them now.

More to come soon.....

New projects. New plans.

I have had my customary break after a tournament, and now I am ready to get back in to building and painting again.
First here are some finished inquisitorial henchmen and assassins:




I have the other 2 types of assassin to complete and now have a pretty full retinue for one of my inquisitors.

Next up I am planning a campaign with my local Cambridge gamers. I have just bout planetary empire and a mighty empires set of hexagonal tiles. This will form a solar system for us to fight over. I am also adding in some special rules for character advancement. We hope that rather than taking special characters that we develop stories a heroic deeds for our basic characters. I think my rules have struck a good balance for bonuses from doing well and playing game, but will not lead to a major unbalance for the players who can't play lots of games.

Also I am going to be working on getting my terrain upton date an looking more like it all belongs on the same board!

And finally model wise. I have Agee things unpainted that interest me, the first being a squad of 10 sternguard.
