Painting and Hobby: Lost Patrol

I have been thinking about if I should paint this box set for ages... will I do a good job or not...

But my aim is to paint what I have in my collection so it's time to take the plunge and get it done.

Painting and Hobby: Motivation & The First Miniature Painted For The Year

Last year I painted a lot of miniatures and it was my best ever out put, but for some reason I have lost my hobby mojo over the past few weeks.

I can't put my finger on it. It could be due to work, the times or I am starting to miss getting out more than I think.

In any case this week I wanted to get myself motivated to start painting again and took my first steps to get my 2021 hobby underway.

Unboxing: Blood Bowl Second Season Edition

 Good evening sports fans today we entering a brand new season form your favourite fantasy sports game Blood Bowl.

In this edition I unbox Season 2 which features two new teams and an updated rule book.

Let's get ready fans as we dive into the first half.

Hobby Update: Something Awesome Happened This Week!

 Well I have been a bit busy I am sorry to say so no battle report from the badlands this week but you will get a double helping of battle reports next week!

Instead this week I got some time to paint and wanted to paint a few differnt things just to mix it up a bit.

I looked to my random miniatures shelf for inspiration for this task and decided on these miniatures.

More this way.

Warhammer Fantasy: Blood In The Badlands Part 5

 So here we are with another BITBL instalment for you today.

On Saturday night the battles were set Lee's Ork's were facing Phil's Empire and I would be facing Mike2.0's Lizard Men with my Nurgle WOC where I would be defending Ekrund for Lee.

Let battle commence..

Warhammer Fantasy: Blood In The Bad Lands Part 2

Saturday night arrived and the mission was going to be Ork vs Ork Vs WOC

(I don't like the sound of this)

We had to roll off with the lowest roller holding the hill in the middle of the battle field. Every unit on the hill friend or  foe would have  a 5+ ward save if they are on it. 

At the end of the game any unit near or on the hill would get points and if we get any units on the plinth that would be 5 points or if a wizard stays there a special power is bestowed on them.

Alister rolled lowest and would defend the hill while Lee set up behind the hill and my armies in front of the hill but there was a rumbling going on over on the Ork's half of the Table.

Pictures Of Games Past: Warhammer Fantasy Edition

Before lock down Warhammer Fantasy was the most played game at start of the year with my gaming group.
We played lots of mass battles along with the skirmish version of Warhammer Fantasy
Regiments of Renown.

I thought it would be fun to stick some pictures of some of the games that were played before lockdown so you can see the armies involved and hopefully a little reminder of what we all hope we can get back too soon, rolling dice and playing games.

Here are some of the pictures.

A Night In The City Of Shadespire

Friday night I took a visit to Riotville and had a few games of Shasdespire with Riot and Lee.

I packed my warbands and headed over for a throw down.

I decided to have a go with my Chosen Axes as I have recently painted them which you can view here and had a go at creating a deck for the first time.

As the Axes get inspired by being on a objective after a round I made sure to include some objective cards that get me glory just sitting on them.

So the plan was to sit back get inspired and charge in.... Lets see how it went.

Chaos Cultist...Building Towards Shadow War Armageddon.

Now all the terrain is ready for the game of Shadow War Armageddon I better get on with my Chaos war band.

Chaos Space Marines are expensive in the game so the Cultists are going to be the cheaper cannon fodder.

TT combat Platform B And More Terrain..

After meeting up with Riot before Christmas at the Creative Biscuit we decided  we would have a go at Shadow War Armageddon. This was due I think to one of my post about the Battle Zone Terrain.

Well since then I have been on terrain building mode. I have kits and ideas floating around and I started with this from TT Combat.

A New Toy.. A Light Box By Light Room.

I was thinking over christmas that it may be an idea to get a light box to help improve some of my pictures on the blog.
Luckily after taking to my brother he said he had one that I could have as it was too small for what he needed.

   

Khador Artillery Kapitan

Another loyal solider to add to my Khador force the Khador Artillery Kapitan

I think he will be useful as he give plus 2 to rat so hopefully some of my jacks/Winter Guard will benefit in future games..

Lets just hope the dice gods are kind also.

TT Combat Warehouse Boxes Review

Itching to do something hobby related I have added to my ever growing terrain mountain as I wanted some scatter terrain that I could use across all the games I play be it Fantasy or Sci Fi. So it was off to Ebay and TTCombat had the perfect solution Warehouse boxes.
