WOW those are some really cool creations!
Very well done!

Interested in what way you take this army idea.

Keep up the great work

Grrr, !mrahil

I suppose there's a bit of a joke in essentially running a "Beastmen of Sigmar" army of sorts, which the Living City sub-faction rules are able to accommodate. The general battle plan I'm aiming for is to have demigryphs (cavaliers and cavalier-marshal), gryphons, and Sylvaneth units outflanking while a core contingent of wizards, steelhelms, rangers (darkshards), and eternal guard (black guard) hold the line.
 
Happy Warhammer day one and all :D What a great excuse to paint and later play a game of Warhammer.
First there's post to deliver and after that my day is dedicated to the hobby, I've instructed my wife for the past 3 weeks, that she is not allowed to give birth today(39.5 weeks). :p

Painting up 5 Raptadons which I started yesterday as well as a Dankhold Trogboss and maybe finish off some Rockgut Troggoths :D
 
Went to a favourite Wargames Convention today, and @Lord-Marcus will be pleased to know I couldn't resist the temptation of buying some Wargames Atlantic Goths to be Welsh-ified:

Also played a demo game of 28mm American Civil War using some homebrew rules:

My father's dreadful luck with his dice rolling contributed enormously to the mounting pile of dead-or-fled Confederates one can see accumulating in the top-right of the photos.

The chap who ran the game very kindly allowed us to walk away with a couple of free copies of the ruleset, so my quest to find an ACW ruleset to use with the free sprues of Warlord Epic Battles figures I got at this convention last year is finally at an end.

Had enough of your Beastmen I see? ;)
 
Tidying up everything today fed up of having a cluttered workspace but in order to clean that up I must first sort out the storage in the cabinets :(

There's not that much to do but it would be nice if it was a bit more organized and not just shoved in any way it goes. So that is the aim and then maybe some painting.

Third session into the Arnor GURPS campaign.

The previous session had the party arrive in the village of Dinach (two days travel along the North-South Road from Tharbad), passing a wrecked cart that had been ransacked the night before by orcs. Said orcs got brazen enough to attack the Inn the party were staying in, but through their efforts they put the raiders to the sword.

This session, the party set out into the chalk prairie to track down where the orcs had made camp, courtesy of a map one of the raiders had on him. It was a small bandit camp nested in the rocky crag of a defile some 5km northeast of Dinach, with a sizeable band of 10 orcs and a warg. The hobbit, being a crafty little fellow, baited the bandits out of their crag with a fire-cooked meal, leaving them open for slaughter by the two Dunedain.

Once the fighting was done, the party reaped the rewards of stolen foodstuffs, some expertly crafted cookware, strongboxes containing a total of 150 silver pieces (each worth 50 copper pennies), and a small collection of Arthedain-forged blades (two thrusting broadswords and two long knives). As a personal gift for his cooking (he's been doing that to sidestep paying for lodging) and helping with the orc camp, the innkeeper's wife gave the hobbit a recipe that she couldn't perform herself as it was for an Elvish dish, apparently handed to her by Gandalf.

The party is still a ways away from Bree, or the Shire for that matter.

Actually, I'm currently working on a huge restoration/conversion project for my mighty Chaos Dwarfs! I just haven't posted any pictures because it is in the early stages and it is the type of project that lies at the very edge of my abilities, so it could end in failure. On the plus side, I've managed to pass what I considered to be the largest hurdle. PLENTY more to go though.

In which case I await it with baited breath! :)

Hopefully it turns out well and doesn't disappoint. It's an Ebay rescue.

Those can be some of the best rescues though! I managed to ebay-salvage a battered Rhino out of a conversion and reconverted it back into the 3rd edition Vindicator it originally was built as! :D

Otherwise, working on orks in between being royally sick (caught this year's local flu variant - it knocked me on my ass for three days and counting now) and contemplating Beastmen. Might order some warbikers soon, and did order a second angry lion/goat/dragon/snake hybrid thing for my Beasts of Chaos army... because two distraction-Chimera are better than one.

You know how two heads are better than one? Well, if you count the tail, each chimera has four heads, for a total of eight! Time to burninate stuff!!!
