The Harvest part 3 Cannon Fodder

I've spent the past few days painting up some cultists for my Harvest army.  17 in all.  Why 17? Well that's because that's how many I had to hand.  So here's a mixed bag of cultists, traitor guardsmen and mutants.

some close ups

Here is a converted cultist, made from an empire flagellant and a catachan lasgun.  A converted mutant, made from the rest of a catachan and a chaos spawn tentacle.  A Forge World  traitor guardsmen with a flag.  A bog standard games workshop cultist.  And finally a Forge World traitor guard with a vox caster.

Here's another GW cultist and 4 more converted robed guys.  The guy in the middle has a flamethrower.

Here's another converted mutant made from a catachan, an orc cleaver and a skaven head, and more GW cultists.

And finally some more robed conversions.

So what are cultists used for? Well they're good at catching bullets... with their faces.  Their only purpose is  to die, to get the blood tithe point.  If they kill something back it's a bonus.

Some Greenery

I've been building some terrain lately for my gaming club.  Our terrain collection is mainly 40k orientated.  My thoughts on this are you can't have gothic ruins in a game of bolt action, it just looks wrong.  So I built some terrain that can be used in multiple genres.  What is this wonder terrain? Hedges.  Hedges can be found on almost any battlefield from the ancient past to the far future.

Thus far I've done 14 hedges and a gate.  I have plans to do some corner pieces and another gate.  The gates are a bitch to make.  The fences are made from coffee stirrers and match sticks on mdf bases.  The gate posts are pieces of dowel.  I made the greenery from rubberised horse hair and modeling lichen.  I went for this approach rather than pan scourer hedges because I wanted gaps in the vegetation, like a real hedge.

Now that this batch is done I'll be shipping them to the club for general gaming.

There is no Crane... Only Scarecrow!

In an effort to paint my way though my Batman collection I've completed another free agent... The Scarecrow.  I'm going to apologize now the picture quality isn't great, my camera didn't want to focus on the creepy little bastard.

Gotham Bill Boards part 2 The Iceberg Lounge

I've finished the second bill board from the City Bill Boards Set 1 by Knight Models.  This one is for The Iceberg Lounge.

here's a few examples of how the bill boards act as cover

They do a good job of blocking line of sight, even with the regular sized figures.

I might try weather the metal at a later date, but for now they're finished.  I really like these and I want more.  So Knight Models, if you're reading this make a second set.

Gotham Bill Boards Part 1 The Vicki Vale Show

Here's the first of Knight Models' "City Bill Board Set 1" bill boards.  I'm assuming they're going to make a set 2 at some point.  You get two bill boards in a pack, one for The Vicki Vale Show, the other for The Iceberg Lounge.

And a few scale shots

The Iceberg Lounge bill board will follow in part 2

Operation end times no 20 Cry of the Banshee

First of all I'm totally listening to Cry of the Banshee by Brocca's Helm as I type this.  Secondly I've painted a banshee.  That is all.

It's Showtime! Bats!

I'll just let this guy speak for himself.

Joker's all ready to play with the Batman.  The boss fight in the game may have been shit, but this dude is awesome.  I was actually a bit apprehensive about painting him, I really didn't think I could do him justice.  I think I succeeded.  And at least he isn't red.
