Blog Imrahil's Paint and WIP log

I finished painting both heroes of the Necropolis faction last weekend:

Only the town miniature left to paint for a second completed faction


Grrr, !mrahil

Very nice High Elf barge! I presume this will be a Skycutter for Fantasy?

It uses a lot of parts from it, but ends up being far bigger than a Skycutter. It is more of a Seaguard flavored piece. Not really sure if one is abke to use it in the game in a way.

It is on a monster base, 150x100(?) IIRC

As promiased a full party short of the Necropolis faction:

Also, my brothers and I had a great game night, time did fly and playing with (only) two painted factions already made a big difference. Some shots from the event:

Nice.

How well does the board game capture the vibe of the original PC game? If that's something you can answer (no judgement if you never played the PC HMoM games).

Pretty much so, they have done quite a good job on integrating mechanics with the board game. Both in the Worldmap (turn based, semi Fog of War play) and on the Battlefield (unit initiative and characteristics).
They integrated spells, artifacts and abilities in the form of a personal card deck you can expand on and tried to match them as close as possible to the in game effects.

There is a lot going on to explain in detail, but overall it really catches the vibe of the PC game. And they picked the best and most popular PC game version ;)
After 3 the games lost my interest as well.

That's okay, you've been a busy guy with all your great terrain and model work. Looking forward to seeing these great models finished in early November.

Thanks mate, early November it is ;)

They are done:

I really like how the colorscheme came out. A variety of browns, but distinct enough to not form a blur.
Now that I have this scheme figuered out, the other models might be quicker done :rolleyes:

Grrr, !mrahil
 
Question time:

For my Isengard army I do not have the original Uruk-hai crossbow models and create my own from the basic warrior models. For the next model I have the set up as below:

20241102_103930.jpg 20241102_103946.jpg

Now is the question, shall I keep the sword or do I shape it into an arrow (so it looks like he is reloading)

Technically all warrior models do carry a sword, so there is nothing against him having one.

Curious to know what you guys think.

Grrr, !mrahil
