Repairing some damage

No coating means damage

Here's a view of my workbench at the moment. The cold, wet weather has offered me very few opportunities to varnish my miniatures, and I took the risk of using them ingame uncoated, expecting some inor repairs as a consequence.

Sadly, the box used for transport was inadequate, and my miniatures suffered some serious damage during the trip back. Being slightly discouraged, it took me some time to ge started on the repairs, it is a lot of work, and in some cases it means repainting parts completely.

Still, at least I'm back in business, did some work on the boat as well, in order to have everything ready for when we pick up again.

Goodies from Salute

Greetings to my numerous followers :D after a rather long period of non-activity, bunch of reasons for that, a post with some goodies I got a Salute. Bulk of my purchases is from Fieldworks, they have really nice 10 mm buildings, most of which I now own. Great stuff for city scenario's in WWII stuff.

That time of the month

That time of the month where you realize you haven't been posting a lot about your miniatures and terrain work. There has been a lot happening under the hood, new modular interior terrain, i've been working on the warship, and a lot of painted miniatures are waiting for some last minute retouches - some handling damage because we played with them - and some above zero dry weather so I can varnish them and give them some much needed protection. Expect more on this soon (tm).

Te new scorpion man, looking like the first one

 

Another fellow on my desk is a new scorpion man conversion, again a joint venture between a giant scorpion and a nude berserker. Here's a pic of that one, he's good to go, just needs varnish as well. With the freezing cold being less of an issue, I hope to varnish all the new miniatures early next week.

Another great hirst session

Hirst terrain blocks are brilliant stuff, but one has to invest a considerable amount of time in order to get some serious quantity of blocks. We did and here's today's yield. It looks like a lot but you need a lot of blocks to make stuff. Still, we are putting some effort in regularly, and slowly but surely we're getting together a lot of cool looking terrain.

Here's the temple interior stuff so far

New RuneQuest scenario started

The party en route for Moonbroth

We started a new campaign yesterday, with the party coming under attack in Pavis, and having to flee the city. They head for the Old Wind Temple, a dangerous voyage indeed.

Market Stalls

A bit of commerce fo the RPG table.

Here are some market stalls I bought at Crisis this year, they will serve as fluff for City setups in Pavis and elsewhere. I'll be getting the other ones as well, there were six models in all. Just on the lookout for some nice stall attendants in a scruffy medieval / ancient city style...

A belated Happy New Year!

I had 2 weeks of holiday, during which i have done very little in the hobby room, too many other things to do. Still, meanwhile the hobby activity has resumed, and although there are no pictures to show at the moment, I'm working hard at finishing Pavis buildings (x2), Rubble buildings (x1), and a lot of new modular room/cave terrain in hirst blocks. So this early pic will have to do! There's much more now!

40K Armageddon

During a bit of DIY at our clubhouse I had a nice distraction with a bunch of members playing a big armageddon battle on a 6' x 8' table. Here are some pictures of the battle. Some amazingly painted miniatures on there, and others that were not so amazing.

First stage of Ingilli Warship

Still lots to do, but at least it's lying in the water

I started modification on a Revell Viking Drakkar for my Ingilli Warship that the Lunars have confiscated in Corflu. First stage was glueing the hull together and fixing the deck, and it got ugly immediately afterwards: Dremel through the entire hull lengthwise, without damaging the deck, but not more than 3 mm below. Add to that the tendency to stick back together after using the cutting disk, and it adds up to 15 minutes of stress. Still, it worked out fine, and I slapped a sheet underneath, slapped on half a bottle of slo-zap, a morokanth's weewee's length of green stuff, and it's hardening as I write this. Time for a Roll 20 upgrade session now...

Trolls on a roll

Here are some specific Glorantha miniatures to be used with RuneQuest.  In a first time, the first three pictures will serve as a Troll trader, Gunt Leadfinger, a traveling merchant working in the Prax region, and his two very impressive bodyguards, current name Ben & Jerry.  These two specimens are the biggest, meanest great troll around, they have excellent equipment, and the vouch for the safety of Master Leadfinger.

Purple skinned, this fellow will not pas through any normal human size door, which is why Gunt handles all business outside.

Armor made out of scarab carapace, immaculately clothed, and bloodthirsty when not sleeping.

Gunt Leadfinger, Troll Merchant Extraordinaire.

A normal great troll.

Some new miniatures for RQ

Adventurers or enemies?

 Nice new miniatures I finished in the last few days.  Some will serve as adventurers, others will serve other purposes.  These are Reaper mainly, could be a few other brands though.  The giant has been lying around for over a year now, I forgot where I got it from.

This giant has an anger issue, but so far no-one mentioned it to him

Guide to Glorantha funded!

May 2013 is the set date. Seems like the world's not gonna end after all!

Here's Rick Meints final update to the kickstarter project after it concluded with 260K€ just now:

Jeff and I would like to thank everyone for helping make the Guide to Glorantha project an amazing success, and one that has exceeded all our expectations. We hoped to raise $50,000, dreamed of raising $100,000, and laughed at the prospect of any more than that.

After the Kickstarter ends, we'll be sending out the survey, we'll have time to work out all the add-ons, and all the other "admin" side of things as well.

We're overjoyed at the community of Gloranthans that has formed around this project. We sincerely see this as the start of something new, with many more great things to come.

As always, we thank you for your support.

Morokanth Warrior finished

Warrior Morokanth in the Rubble

I have slapped some paint on my most recent sculpt, and it looks nice enough. I think I'm gonna make a few more, a trader with a notebook and a herder come to mind...

And from the right...

Henrains Giant Helper

Nobody has seen it and survived, but if anyone would have, this is what an artists impression would most probably look like.

Rumour has it a power-hungry sorcerer has taken residence in the Puzzle Canal in the Rubble. We heard that this sorcerer deals in dark and powerful magicks. And that he has a Giant assistant, as well as a heap of small minions, hitherto undefined. To feed this giant, the sorcerers minions need to undertake regular cattle raids, why, they'll even capture humans to feed to the monster. Also, apparently, said giant is well armed and buffed, and a real challenge for any party, if they could find him. The nature of the sorcerers alliance with this giant is not known.

Do Morokanths have a weewee?

This one certainly does!

I think this Morokanth is finished, I'm gonna let it harden, basecoat, and then paint it up over the weekend before I start on the next one. This one, by the way, is a male Morokanth.

I know, I'm vulgar :) But Bif the Morokanth is happy!

New terrain for Pavis and Corflu

The temple, partially finished

The Corflu pier, artist's impression...

The pier was designed by Ben and quickly painted today, the temple hall is the start of a modular system for representing rooms and corridors. Looks fine, but there's a lot of casting involved...

First Morokanth sculptinisation

Here's Master Bif, Morokanth Warrior and gourmet extraordinaire

Hard to find a miniature Morokanth for the Glorantha universe, so I am having a go at sculpting one myself. The body shape is getting there, it just needs a bit more flab on the arse. I quite like the pose, lunging with the short spear, it is gonna be used for RPG after all, so a bit of violent appearance is always good.

I'm giving it a wicker shield with a nasty pin, still thinking whether they'll be prudish enough to wear some kind of loincloth, or if they'd rather walk around tackle out, swinging freely in the Prax morning air. Other bits of must have equipment: a chain for the herdmen, some pack, and animistic tidbits like skull, some boney things, or bird feathers maybe.

Now that's a hairy back! Rawr!

Last but not least a funny looking helmet may finish it off, but maybe that's just too much...

Hairy tummy, pair of ears, and a slade Neckcarpet: we're on track!

 

Another update: face mostly done

Custom PC finished: Raiko Ingilli

Raiko Ingilli, Zola Fel initiate.

Alexander needed a riverfolk noble with a scimitar. As reported in a previous thread, I converted two miniatures to have a foot and mounted version. Here it is painted up.

New RQ scenario

Somewhere along the Zola Fel

Mornik's gang attack the camp

For the last few weeks we have been playing some very enjoyable scenarios located in Prax. The party has been clearing out chaos, has been sucked into a heroquest and aided Orlanth in capturing Daga. The full stories will appear on the Hiording blog shortly. This blog has been retitled to 'A Colymari in Corflu' to stay in the mood.
