MiniatureBrushworks Stuff

Initially I wanted to do some barons war stuff but its hard to find any players around here. A friend of mine however wanted to get back on Mordheim so I thought I just use the barons war stuff as Bretonnians with the bonus that I have to paint less minis.

I decidet to go with the welsh as they got lots of lovely metal minis wich does not look too fancy. Some of the knights wearing just simple helmets and gambesons instead of mail armour which makes good squires for the warband. The bowmen all have some kind of coats mostly slung around the shoulders which mixed with some patterns makes them stand out from the standard bowmen a bit.

To make the indentification of the models for my opponent easier and keep with the historical theme I decidet to go with Llywelyn ap Gruffudd (I never will speak that name out loud) as my questing knight, he has a nice mini and quiet fancy heraldry which still was possible to freehand.

All the squires then got shields in the same red/ yellow quartered heraldry but without the lions, they would have been household knights historically. The knights errant then each got their own heraldry to make them stand out from the leader but not too fancy.

To keep them all together everybody got some bit of red (except for the bowmen with the cape were I forgot my concept)

They already have fought two games and next up are the last 2 henchmen to bring the warband to its maximum numbers. If Im lucky enough to get the warlord a horse I will paint his mounted version too.

I got back to trench crusade recently but decidet to use the official prints rather then to convert everything. This way I got into the sultanate and away from my trench pilgrims.

The alchemiceal creatures are the main reason why I chose them.

A few more of the regular Infantery to do and the first 700 ducats for a starter force is done.

I painted up this wonderful mini of Jain Zar. The intention was to try some new techniques and get a higher paint standard then I ussually do.

I tried to recreate the jain zar David Colwell did.

With this mini done I will now build up a 1500p Aeldari army (similar to ma AoS project of which I still have to take final pictures)

The dreadnought ships for the spanish american war are done. I already played a round of Gods of War: Togo which is a really good game.

I finished the first couple of ships for my 2 player starter Gods of War: Togo.

These are 3d printed from GM boardgames. Lovely details on the ships, I just added the expansion of the masts with broom bristles.

Since the new Israeli book was realeased for Team Yankee I decidet to ad a platoon of the new Merkava Mk 3 tanks to my existing force. These are beasts and not only ad much needed high anti tank value but also are more protected and mobile then their predecessors.

The flaws of the kit lie in the multi build options for the mk 1 2 and 3. While the Mk 1 and 2 share the same hull the mark 3 has a different one but uses the same as the others in the kit.

This means a bit of conversion work for me. I sanded and filled the sides of the hull as they are smoth on the mark 3. The front lights are both retractable and smaller since they do not sport the IR lights anymore, here I filled and sanded the right one and carved new lines.

The rear of the hull is longer on the original vehicle and the road wheels have different spacing but this and some other small details on the hull were to much for my skill set.

I just added some minor details on the hull baskets.

The turret got the most work as I decided to build the later mk 3 Baz version which got new armour plates, new crosswind sensors, laser warning sensors, a new loaders hatch and a 360° view visor for the commander.

Finally the 50cal got the bag for the spend casings and the hull and turret got anti slip coat I made with gws rust effect.

Antennas are made from collected cat whiskers as on my other tanks (I find them on the favorite spots of my cats from time to time)
