Journey to Pavis
Jacobus, Drayin, Hjotra and Gor are fed up with their life in Colymar, and decide to travel to Pavis in search of adventure and fortune. They travel to Swenstown, have a run in with a Lunar tax official, and manage to set up camp on top of the lair of a huge sand spider. They manage to struggle through, though, and end up en route to the Moonbroth Oasis.

A good yield
 |
| The result of a few weeks... |
It's been some time since I posted an update, I've fallen back into the old habit of painting many miniatures at once. Today, I varnished 34 Gloranthan miniatures for our Runequest games: roughly from left to right you can see...
3 nice barbarians, forgot where from
4 Talastaring hoplites in the colours of Daerius
A lunar priestess in the process of hosting a cult spirit
4 Dara Happan guards ( babylonians) to go with the L & L Dara Happan Captain
Fazzur Wideread (L & L) and the Imperial guard (Mad Knight)
Harem girls, bard, tavern wench, barman from Hasslefree
Name escapes me wise guy from L&L
8 big trolls from Madknight
All in all some wonderful stuff, I might fancy them up a bit more, but for now they're ready and well varnished!

Chaos infestation!
 |
| Giomanach charging into the tunnel |
Nice adventure yesterday with the party coming to the aid of the Quivini farmers. A chaos infestation has been discovered on the slopes of Quivini between Jonstown and Boldhome, and after a failed attempt by Daerius and his hoplites, the full party minus sick Herculon venture inside the cave complex. Sharkan gets attacked by a disease spirit, and has to be carried out. They disturb the broo band during excavation work, and have to run for their lives after the Broo shaman starts throwing around his vile magic and spirits.

Another repair session
Last RuneQuest game I managed to topple a complete box of water cave blocks while playing. The damage was considerable, but it speaks for our casting plaster's quality that I managed to repair all of the broken bits in one hour, including glueing stuff back together and painting / washing with various shades of gray. I must have used about 50 of them.

Fazzur
 |
| Fazzur Wideread |
Fazzur 'Bookworm' Wideread is the Lunar instated governor of Sartar, currently residing in Boldhome. He's a general from Tarsh, born to the Orindori clan, son to Vostor Blacktooth. He is a Yanafal Tarnils worshiper, and a member of the Scarlet Scimitars, a Yanafali sect striving to keep the blood pure. He was dismissed after a discussion with Sor Eel about how to handle Pavis in 1610, but was reinstated to suppress Kallyr Starbrow's revolt in 1613 and made Governor General of Sartar afterwards. He loves horses and hates Ducks.

Monster Island and Book of Quests
Shiny new goodies from The Design Mechanism! I have received the paper versions from these two much anticipated scenario books from Loz and Pete and several free lance writers that wrote adventure for Book of Quests. When my players glimpsed the books - just before I managed to take them out of sight - one of my players, who plays a sorcerer and who tends to be slightly overpowered against low and average opponents, much to my occassional but well hidden frustration, read the subtitle of Book of Quests.
Seven scenarios against the sorcerer. He assumed I purchased these scenario's to be able to counter him, and that he was the sorcerer mentioned. Seven scenarios against him! I saw him wondering whether he should be flattered for being so effective that I needed a special book to better my odds, or be annoyed that I had gotten a book just to get rid of him.
Evidently, I said nothing more, answered questions with more questions, and left him to stew for a few weeks :) I love being a GM, especially if you have good players who can take some abuse :D

Ambush near Jonstown
 |
| Ilduvu surrounded, but too hard to get down |
Another fine RQ evening yesterday, with the party liberating a group of prisoners destined for Pimper's block. When Giomanach's enemy Ilduvu shows up, the fight goes nasty, and the party needs every resource they possess, as well as the aid of the liberated prisoners, to save their sorcerer from being hacked to bits by the Griffin Shape nemesis.

Some new goodies based...
 |
| Rackham Barbarians |
 |
| Hasslefree Bar Dwellers |
I'm working on the Mad Knight lot, it seems the trolls are gonna get done first, I don't know why, but I'm always painting them up first. A lot of variety in this range, you gotta love them, even though you can see the evolution, the earlier ones are a bit cruder, although full of detail, and the more recent mini's - I think they are - have a better finish, better proportions. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe there's two sculpters, love them all though. Meanwhile I based these lads up, I bought them at Salute earlier this year. With these based I have barely any lead left, although there is still a lot to paint that is based and even primed.

The sound of industry
 |
| Left to right, trollkin, dara happans and imperials, trolls and broos, and some already painted trolls and adventurers |
Here they are in all their glory. The Mad Knight Imperials in particular look great, and I look forward to painting them a lot! Probably gonna be finished first, after the painted ones are ready, of course. With the Glorantha miniature kickstarter's lots of new miniatures coming up, I need to make some room before the end of the year!

Never stand in a dinosaur's way.
 |
| Triceratops charging through the caravan |
We started playing RuneQuest again yesterday, the story will appear on the Hiording Blog shortly. Alex, Anthony, Ben, Maxim and Urbain showed up for a session, they intended to escape The Ernaldori tula and head east. We're using RQ6, a sandbox adventure of my own, and some of the NPC's courtesy of Erkki's new Enemy Generator for RQ6, which turns out to be a great tool, albeit not completely finished.

Workbench update
 |
| Some slightly modded Otherworld trolls. |
A lot of stuff lying around screaming for attention. I order to get the blog moving again, I'll try to regularly update with some stuff I'm working on.
I use the Otherworld orcs as RQ dark trolls, some slight adaption of the snout is in order.

Restart of our RuneQuest 6 campaign
 |
| Some nice primitives for Prax and Monster Island! |
Business has been slow in my little hobby-den lately: a cold winter, making it rather unconfortable to sit there, was the first reason for decreased activity. The job requiring more effort, and a general increase in sports and training time, took care of the rest. Before you know it, you're at a standstill, too knackered after work, too tired after running, too cosy in your couch. The blog suffered as well, of course, what to tell if there is nothing to tell? With the campaign in Sartar relaunching, I'm hoping I can get some more regular painting sessions in. Work still is demanding, and with 4-5 training sessions a week there's not so very much time left. Still, with some planning it must be possible to have a session or two a week.
Here are some nice primitives I acquired at Salute in April, I finally came around to basing them up. The mimis are from Steve Barber Models. There's more stuff, which I hope to post up later this week, matter of getting some life back into the blog.

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!
