I was looking for a set of bare trees for 28mm models for a medieval project I want to work on later and came across a set from Mantic called “Gothic Grounds”. The set includes four trees and a pair of stumps. In hand, they appeared a bit too small for what I wanted for 28mm, but as seen in the picture above, they look just about right for 1/72. So….more terrain for my post apocalyptic table!

Continuing my ongoing project for The Silver Bayonet, I have again turned to AD 1666 to fill in some of the missing creatures I need for the game. Keeping the single player scenarios in mind, it is essential that I get zombies, wolves, and vampires knocked out. The numbers of zombies and wolves is pretty high, so instead of starting with a large group I decided to knock out the smaller group of vampires first. Continue reading
I’ve been sitting on a lot of terrain. In the past I never did much in building or painting terrain, usually relying on others to put up the scenery. Being a naturally slow painter and being burdened with long hours at work, taking the time to paint terrain seemed a luxury. Recently though I have started buying terrain pieces. Mostly components to fit in with Dark Age to Napoleonic eras. Most of these buildings are stone so I wanted to find a system that could easily paint up stone while making it look realistic. Following my usual modus operandi, I scoured the internet to find someone who had the solution.
I’ve never had enough spare time to get my projects complete, so when I got the opportunity to ‘work’ from home I took full advantage of the situation to up my productivity to an eleven. Blood Bowl is my prime mistress, and I have plenty of projects that have yet to start or have labored at an incomplete status for years. With my NFL themed Blood Bowl teams still barely started I decided to try and get one division completed. With my Browns themed Undead team almost done, it was time to get Steelers and Bengals teams going. Continue reading
This larger piece turned out a little better after some lessons learned on those other buildings. Mainly…don’t add a graffiti transfer over paper… for now anyway. Ha! As my post apocalyptic setting takes place in New Mexico, I thought it would make sense to go with a regional gas station, so Allsup’s it is.

Progress has continued on the Silver Bayonet front with a couple of easy wins getting more of the monsters of this gothic horror game on the table. I have the scarecrow models from North Star but for the first of several werewolves that I need I have turned to my extensive backlog and pulled from Anno Domini 1666! Continue reading
I contemplated not posting some of my recent work because the end results are a bit disappointing. Maybe I attempted something outside my skillset, but probably it was just more outside my patience. Let’s take a look at what happened…maybe it’ll help someone else with what _not_ to do if they want to try something similar.
