Malifaux - The Drowned

I've decided to take a wee break from the Romans (mainly because the weather is too crap to do any priming).  These guys have been sitting in the queue for a while now.  I present to you The Drowned.

For The Glory Of Rome #5

Artillery.  Every army needs artillery.  My Romans now have some, in the form of a pair of scorpions.  I intend to use them in King's of War as ballistae.  I've got a third that I've yet to assemble.  I've seen one of these in real life and they're pretty cool.

For The Glory of Rome #4

Another week another unit down. This time it's a unit of veteran legionaries.  I plan to use these as a unit of foot guard in my kings of war army, probably with the "chant of hate" magic item to give them the vicious rule.






Next up a couple of scorpions.

For The Glory of Rome #3

That's another unit of Romans ready for the battlefield, well they will be once I varnish them.  This time it's a troop of auxiliary archers.  This unit takes me to a grand total of 295 points and 50 men... which isn't much now I think about it.  I better get some more infantry done to raise the numbers.  The question is what next? Auxiliaries, legionaries, or veteran legionaries? Decisions, decisions.

Albanich 2016

Yesterday was the Albanich wargames show in Dumfries.  My gaming group had the honour of running the Hadrian's Hobbies Deathstar Trench Run Board.  I have to say the day was fantastic, with many cool looking games, a plethora of traders and lots of interesting people to talk to.

Here's a few picks from the day.


A huge English civil war battle




A Very British  Civil War


Dropzone Commander (run by us)





The Deathstar

The civil war battle in full swing.


The Very British Civil War battle rages on.

Dragonborn and Drow

I've finished a couple more RPG characters.  The first is a dragonborn paladin for a friend, the other is a drow fighter.  Both are from Reaper Miniatures.






Dragonborn





What a brute this guy is.  He's huge.  But that's ok, because the character he's representing in my D&D campaign has a strength value of 20.  He wanted a blue dragonborn so he got one.




Drow



I really like her spiderweb armour.  Quite fitting as drow worship Lolth, the spider goddess.  Perhaps she's an elite guard.  I'm probably going to use her as a villain, or a mook in service to a villain.

Cleric

I've been working a lot on a Dungeons and Dragons campaign recently, so I thought I'd paint a few of my RPG miniatures (aside from the dungeon saga ones).  I just finished a human cleric, and I have to say he's one of my favorite miniatures.




I just absolutely love his pose.  He's holding his weapon in a relaxed fashion while he channels a divine spell through his holy symbol.  Most importantly he looks like a cleric.  Most cleric miniatures don't look very holy.

Up next on the paining block; a drow fighter, a dwarf assassin, and a more Romans.
