Death Guard - Poxwalkers

I'm back on the Nurgle Wagon.  This time with the Poxwalkers from the Dark Imperium box.  I might do a painting guide on them if I get a hold of an add on box.

I really like the Poxwalkers.  At first glance they're just disease zombies, but look at them closely and they're all really characterful.  You get two of each sculpt in Dark Imperium.

These guys have a bionic arm.  So they must have been someone with a bit of cash before they got all fugly.

The sledgehammer dudes may have been hive workers.  The gas mask and mallet ceertainly suggest this.

The hazmat suits couldn't keep out Nurgle's blessings.

The great coat guys.  I've done one as a commissar the other like a lab coat.

The big choppy knife may indicate that he was a hive ganger.

This dude may have been a hive worker.

Hive ganger? Or or the poor sod that has to burn out the millisaur nests?

Obviously a former ganger.  His gun is now a crude glaive.

This guy is a bit cheeky looking.  He's also preserving his modesty with the remnants of a coat.

And finally another former ganger.  He's still holding his gun, although I don't know if it still works.

I'm working on the plague marines next.  Until next time happy wargaming.

My Lian Yu Jungle Terrain Thus Far

Apologies for the lack of updates recently, I've been in a bit of a painting slump, although that appears to have shifted and I'm back in full paint mode.  If cranked out most of my Trident realm army for Kings of War this week, but you can't see that just yet, only when it's done.

In the mean time here's a showcase of my jungle terrain thus far.  Calenderman added for scale.  The mat is from DeepCut Studio.  The foliage is plastic aquarium plants, mostly the really cheap ones.  The trees are from 4Ground.  The buildings (you've seen those before) are from Sarissa Precision.  The ponds I made myself, they're not amazing but I think their a good first attempt.

I plan to use this lot primarily for the Batman Miniatures Game as the island of Lian Yu.  But it could be used for other games like Malifaux and Warmahordes or even small games of Bolt Action or 40K.  Hell I could even use it for the Walking Dead (jungle edition of course).

So what would I add to this?  Definitely more trees.  Maybe another of those big leafy buggers too.  I think I could do with a couple more buildings, and I definitely need a few crates and barrels.  I'm toying with the idea of some cliffs and a stream too.

Arkham Knight - Sniper Version

Here's the guy who will probably leading my Scarecrow gang more than Scarecrow.  Why?  He's just that good.  Like scary good.  Like one of the scariest shooter characters in the game good.

I don't think I've done a bad job of him considering I had a cat harassing me the whole time I was painting him.  I've done him similar to my other Arkham Knight.  I really want to try him out.

The Walking Dead - Tyreese, Julie and Chris

I'm still working my way through the Miles Behind Us expansion.  This time it's pro football player Tyreese, his daughter Julie and her boyfriend Chris.

Let's look at Chris first

I quite like the posing of Chris.  However in game he's shit.  He's dirt cheap and not great at anything.  He's and ideal candidate for having his skull bashed in by Negan.



Next Julie

I also like the posing on Julie.  However if Chris is shit Julie is worse.  She's even cheaper than Chris, and has worse stats.  Her only saving grace is that if she's in Tyreese's kill zone her nerve becomes medium and Tyreese gains an extra red dice for defense.



Finally Tyreese

I don't like the pose of Tyreese.  He's a bit static.  I do like his rules though, he's hard as nails.  He doesn't have a shoot stat, but is an amazing melee fighter.  He's got two whites for melee and a blue for defense.  He's got high nerve and a lot of wounds.  If he's outnumbered in melee he adds another red to his melee or defense pool.  His leader ability is great too.  All bruisers in his group add a red to attack if armed with a bludgeoning weapon.  Keep Julie nearby and he's almost unhitable.  His only downside is he's quite pricey.

The Walking Dead - Maggie, Arnold and Billy Greene

After getting distracted with elves, orcs and naiads (more on them once I've finished all of them), I'm back on the dead train... Or farm in this case.  I've started with a handful of the Greene family.

Arnold Greene

Arnold is a fighter.  Pure and simple.  He's decent in a scrap with a white dice for melee and defense. He's also got six health, which is a lot.  He's also a must if you're running a lot of Greene family members, here's why.  Firstly he's pretty cheap.  Secondly is his protector rule, which means he can take an attack for friendly Greene family members in his kill zone.  That's pretty tasty.


Maggie Greene

Maggie is pretty average.  She's got a red dice for all her stats, and two for defense.  Where she shines is with her special rules.  When she panics she rolls two panic dice and picks the preferred result.  This gives you a bit more control with her once the shit hits  the fan.  She also has the rebellious rule which gives her a 50% chance of gaining an extra action if she's more than 10" from your leader.  This makes her a decent scavenger.  If you team her up with Arnold she become a bloody good scavenger.  And maybe a decent fighter too.


Billy Greene

Billy is a marksman, and decent one at that.  He ignores one cover dice when he shoots too, which in my opinion means he should be kitted out as a sniper for some board control.
