Here’s my third attempt at a Dragon Rampant force. This time… the complete army is done! Previous attempts stalled because a) I switched scales and b) I didn’t wanna paint all orcs.

I’ve had five of these Khurasan Kappa models painted for a while using them as either villagers or as an independent force as suggested in the Mythical Creatures document: https://www.ospreypublishing.com/media/qzvnud5q/ronin-mythical-creatures.pdf

One of the big three blocks of units I need for Silver Bayonet are bandits. According to the worst-case scenario I need a total of 13 of these scallywags to handle any of the scenarios in the core rule book. With the addition of Silver Bayonet: Canada and Egypt, I decided to go outside of the box and select some banditos that would work in multiple theaters of conflicts. Continue reading

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

With the color scheme decided, it was time to get this team up and running. I decided to go with the typical plan of working through lineman, specialty players, and finish up with stars and staff. I understand the usefulness of batch-painting, but I have a hard time spreading myself over more than five to six models at a time. I get excited when a model goes from the ugly patchy phase of having base coats to the when it starts coming together, and batch painting large groups keeps models in that ugly phase for a long time. Did I also mention it’s really boring? My brain likes to see progress, so my batch groups stayed small. Continue reading

Back in another lifetime it seems I put together a Blood Bowl Team emulating the Cleveland Browns. The idea got me thinking of continuing the trend of blending Amorical (American) Football teams into the game of Blood Bowl. I’m not going to lie I probably (most certainly) own enough teams to do a full 32 team league, but alas I don’t paint fast enough to have enough lifetime to get to that goal. The original goal was to plow through the AFC North Division first, but instead I drifted over to the AFC East and put together a lovely Chaos Chosen team. Continue reading

I have a long history of incomplete hobby projects. My usual method of operation is getting excited to start a project, buy all the models to make it happen, start the hobby part of the project, add to the project to make it larger than the original scope, get burned out on the project, and then move on to the next project with the original unfinished. With Blood Bowl being my main hobby project, it’s no surprise that almost half of my teams are incomplete to one level or another. With the prospects of a retro Blood Bowl event in 2024, I figured now was the time to wrap up my longest unfinished project.

Here’s the main antagonists of my little Roswell ’98 setting, the aliens that have come back 50 years after the ’48 “weather balloon” incident. A lot of angles I had bouncing around in my head to use “cult” style minis from two great 20mm lines solidified in this detachment.

Originally, I had only intended on painting up three factions for Battletech, but as I started reading into the lore, Comstar appealed and since these mechs are pretty easy to paint I figured…why not…what’s seven more models to the pile?
