About the Project

Another year smashing away and slaying the grey in the pile of potential. I'm 52, my eyes aren't what they were. Table ready is good enough. Only characters get eyes. Can I paint another 650+ miniatures this year? More importantly, why do I still have so many unpainted miniatures?

So I put together some Beastmen and did a test colour scheme. I don’t like doing Nurgle = Green but it worked. I had to add red to the bottom of the banner to break up all that green. I think I’ll do some more but this time in rusty armour.

I know it was terrain month but like I said I forgot to post. Anyway, I finally got around to doing the first Killteam box set terrain.

And finally there was some gaming. So there has been some Warcry, Blood and Plunder, Space Hulk and ASOIAF.  What I will say is that terrain maketh the game. My plucky Blood Angels are 1 scenario away from completing the campaign. The ships and space hulk corridors are 3D Printed by my neighbour Jim and used both in our respective games rooms and at our local club. Right now Jim is printing Mordheim terrain for our campaign next quarter. In the meanwhile warbands are painted, and armies are preparing for our return to the time of 3 Emperors in the Old World!

So another weekend gaming session meant we managed to get another scenario done. Once again Sanguinius was with us! Until he wasn’t. The Genestealer player allowed the marines almost uninterrupted movement before a the timer ran out before I could turn the lightning claws marine led to my first death. Two successive jams led to the next, which left one marine turning backwards and forth desperately trying to hold a vital intersection by himself. He soon died alone. With the reliquary in sight the librarian sprinted, recovered the artifact and sprinted back towards the serjeant, bloicking the corridor behind him with a psychic barrier. The Serjeant fought desperately, killing 3 genestealers in hand to hand,  only to be pulled down by the weight of numbers. With the serjeant gone the Librarian commended his soul to the Emperor. As the genestealers poured into the room the librarians overwatch luck finally ran out.

So in 2024 my gaming group switches to Mordheim. I already have several warbands but one of the guys said that as part of the campaign players may encounter random warbands played by other players. We each were assigned an additional warband to paint, and I got Skaven. This set is old! This was already in use prior to it appearing in Mordheim so it must be 24+ years old, and yet still in service as AoS Gutterrunners.

These are a very character filled Underworlds gang that I will also use in Mordheim and Warcry
