Chaos Dwarf General and Ogre Kingdoms Tyrant

I finished off the 10mm Warmaster Revolution project by painting the Chaos Dwarf General and Ogre Kingdoms Tyrant. 

The Chaos Dwarf General came moulded on quite a nice scenic base, which set the miniature off well.  

The figure itself was easy to paint being very simple with not too much on him really. All axe and hat!

The Ogre Kingdoms Tyrant is a hulking great brute as would be expected.  Really lovely figure to paint full of detail.

The original that MGS Miniatures provided in the order last year had the haft of the axe missing, I suppose it's what they called a failed print.  I contacted MGS and then had to chase them, but they did get round to sending me the replacement so I was able to finish the army. 

That's the 10mm Warmaster Revolution project finished for the time being.  I'll do some photos of each army next and post them.

    Lovely paint work! Those really are nicely done. BTW How do you think 3D printed 10mm will hold up during play? I've been nervous about that, preferring metal. Of course, I need to hit the MegaMillions Lottos to afford old GW WM specialty pieces, like Steam Tank. LoL.

      Thanks very much. I'm a bit worried how these will stand up. If you've read any of my posts about these figures a near constant comment is breakages I don't have much experience of 3d printed figures, so I'm not sure whether they're all like this or just the resin the manufacturer used. They would need careful handling when gaming. Yes you don't have the worry with metal, but as you say you'd need a lot of money for GW WM. Unless you are printing your own I don't think 3d printing is any cheaper than metals like Pendraken etc.

City ruins scatter terrain

Image
2024 and 2025 will see the 80th anniversary of many of the great city battles of the Second World War, such as Warsaw, Budapest, Königsberg and Berlin to name but a few.  With this is mind I've been looking at my terrain collection.  My city terrain is centred around some marvellous 20mm MDF buildings I got from Commission Figurines at Salute back in 2014.  I built some rubble piles a few years ago, but when I got it all out of the loft it didn't look very impressive so I decided to make some more. The first job was to sort the base materials.  I used four different materials: cork board; 5mm foam board; old plywood bases and old credit cards.  The cork board and foam board are great materials for this type of terrain proving height, being relatively strong, easy to cut and very lightweight.  I started by pulling apart pieces of cork board to the rough sizes I wanted and then set about the pieces with a Stanley knife and an old screwdriver.  It's very easy to carve irregul

28mm Victrix Late-Roman Archers and Slingers

Image
When I first embarked on my Late-Roman project a year or so ago, I bought a few sample sprues from Gripping Beast, Wargames Atlantic and Victrix.  The Victrix one was from the Late Roman Archers and Slingers set.  The quality of these convinced me to choose Victrix for the project and I duly ordered up some sets.  After working my way slowly through these I finally went back to this original frame.  These are absolutely lovely models.  There's loads of variety and they go together beautifully.  The instruction sheet which I got from the Victrix website makes a massive difference in this regard.  I really enjoyed working on these.  They were quick to assemble and quick to paint up being in a uniform of sorts.   I only have the one frame, but I took a couple of the bodies from some of the Dark Age Archers that I was working on at the same time ( here ) and added some spare arms to make another pair of staff slingers.  This worked pretty well adding variety to the poses.  I'll do

More 28mm Dark Age warriors

Image
As a bit of a palette cleanser while working my way through the 15mm Landsknechts, I started on a half dozen Victrix Dark Age Archers.   I'd completed a  first batch of these in January and it was good to get back to them.  The original intention was to use these as Norse warriors for my Ragnarok project.  Since then though I've been looking at making them more useable for a longer period of history.  Therefore, with the exception of the sword armed warrior who is very Viking, I've tried to make them quite generic.  As before nearly all the parts came from the Victrix Dark Age Archers set, with a few extras from the Victrix Viking sprue.  These were used to make the sword and seax armed figures.  There was the usual amputations and other bits of minor surgery to make things fit and that's all part of the fun with these plastic figures.  I followed the same process as before and methodically took notes of what parts I used for each figure.  This helped to make sure that
