Realm of Chaos – Hooves and Fur Part VI
Block #1 for the summer project is ready and done! The first 6 beastmen of the Hooves and Fur warband are done.
I finished the shields in a very worn down look, gave the long fur / hair a final highlight with Army Painter Necrotic Flesh WP1108 and added flock to the bases, with Army Painter Battlefields Steppengrass.
Black Seas – Schooners Squadron
We've seen the smallest of the ships from the Black Seas range and a third party company this week as well with Hagen Miniatures, so let's take a look at another small to medium sized vessel, the schooners who are offered by Warlord Games in a squadron of six.
A schooner is a type of sailing vessel, that comes in different variants, for example as a two-masted schooner, and can be gaff or top-sailed. Warlord Games went with a top-sailed variant. The origins of the schooner is unclear, but the name appeared first on the eastcoast of North America in early 1700s, and became in the areas of New England and Atlantic Canada popular for coastal trade, as the ship required a smaller crew compared to other ships of its size and still was fast and versatile.
Realm of Chaos – Hooves and Fur Part V
It is day 16 of the summer project's first block - 15 days to go and what is the current status quo?
Well, after applying the base colours in the last step, Hooves and Fur Part IV, so step 1.5 would be clean up and washes.
Munchkin Warhammer Age of Sigmar
About a year ago, I've shown you Munchkin Warhammer 40,000. The licensing deal with Steve Jackson Games does not only covering the grim dark sci-fi setting of the Games Workshop brand, but Warhammer Age of Sigmar as well, and so in November of 2019 the fantasy counterpart of Munchkin Warhammer was released, first in English and just last month as a localised German version of Munchkin Warhammer Age of Sigmar by Pegasus Spiele.
Munchkin started out in 2001 (almost 20 years ago!) as a not so serious card game, where you as the publishers say: Go down in the dungeon. Kill everything you meet. Backstab your friends and steal their stuff. Grab the treasure and run. Your goal is to reach level 10 before anybody else, by exploring dungeons, killing mobs, looting them, and using the loot to kill bigger mobs to proceed faster. All that in a world with a lot of tongue in cheek humour, parodising well known elements of fantasy worlds and role playing games.
Hagen Miniatures – Napoleonic Ships
The german miniature studio Hagen Miniatures has a diverse range of historical miniatures, among them a range of Napoleonic ships in 1:700th scale, fitting for among other systems Black Seas.
They were kind enough to send me some of their vessels, so we can take a closer look at them. Andy send me a cutter, a ketch and a schooner. The models come in a small ziplock bag and are casted from pewter. Please note, the vessels all come without sails, you'll need to cut our your own from paper or thin plastic card.
Black Seas – Gunboat Squadron
I want to cover some of the smaller ships for Black Seas this week, and among the smallest models available are the Gunboats. They come with multiple ships per base and multiple base per pack, and are sold as a Gunboat Squadron for Black Seas.
A gunboat was would usually have a single mast and be armed with between one up to three cannons or mortars. They were designed to be used in the near-shore areas, on rivers and inland waters, therefore their compact build. As such they service as support for troops on land in such areas, along with patrol or guard missions. Napoleon ordered hundreds of these to be build for the planned invasion of England and had them armed with howitzers.
Fully loaded Wargamer Dad’s weekend
I had a full on wargamers dad weekend this weekend. My wife took our daughter for a weekend trip along with her godparent and I had full 48 hrs for myself.
So on thursday evening I prepared a garlic pizza dough for friday night, using the Kenji Alt Lopez recipe for NY style pizza, and mixed in the garlic part from Sam the Cooking Guy and topped it of with three types of peperoni to make it a meatlover style pizza (of course with my homemade tomato sauce). I'm so glad that I found that dough recipe, just look at the fluffy texture and air pockets.
Realm of Chaos – Hooves and Fur Part IV
Just a brief heads up and life sign that I am not slacking off and waiting for the deadline to give me further motivation. It is day 8 of the summer project and 23 days to go until I have to have my block completed.
I started out with the black primer as mentioned in the last part of the coverage (Hooves and Fur Part III), and my first learning from this is, that I'll dust the other miniatures on top of the black primer or at least give them a light grey / white drybrush, to give me some orientation. It's been a while since my last painting batch and depending on the models you are working on, this helps to bring out some of the details.
The first step was to fill in some of the base colours, so far I did the following.
Frostgrave – More Characters from Felstadt and the Lost Islands
So we have build quite a couple of Frostgrave kits over the last few weeks, and we have a lot of spare bits to toy around with. As did Dino with his Sword & Sorcery adventure. So let's see.
This is just what's left from both first wizards sprues and added a crewmen and a soldier sprue, as a base.
Weekend Update CW 27/2020 – Summer projects, HANS and large terrain
This week the summer project on TabletopWelt began, and we participate with 4 projects. Mostly because Dino motivated us to do so. Even I managed to get some paint on my beastmen, but only a bit, as my week was quite packed, more on that later.
Dino registered his Mortal Gods projects for the summer project, Swarley went with BlitzBowl and Gregor with Azande!
