This miniature is based on a North Star Oathmark plastic Dwarf with an Albedo Miniatures Rabbit head and tail to make a dwarf rabbit!

Hunting dwabbits, eh?

I'll see myself out.

I've just started putting my Warband together for playing a game of Burrows & Badgers at the weekend,
As part of my preparation I have been putting some character cards together.

If this is something that you might like to use your self in games, let me know and I'll try to get organized to make some downloads available!

Ruffus' Ruffcoats are now ready for action!

There first engagement is scheduled for Friday afternoon, so I'll let you know how they got on then.

I'm a big fan of character cards, so that I can flip them when I've activated a character. I've made one for each figure.

On Monday, Ann & I finally got round to starting our Burrows & Badgers campaign.

This was our very first try out of the rules, but the campaign aspect of the game looked so great that we wanted to get stuck into it straight away. As it was our first game, we decided to try to keep it simple, so we played the 'Open Battle' scenario.

The game was a huge lot of fun.

Burrows and Badgers has been calling my name for a while. This might send me over the brink

Chris Abbey · « **Reply #36 on:** January 23, 2019, 04:19:09 PM »

Hi Chairface, I would definitely recommend it. Our starter Warbands only had 5 characters in each, so 10 in total, and less than a dozen miniatures does not qualify as a new project in my book!

Last week I got my paint brush busy on some new conversions to use in the Burrows & Badgers campaign that Ann and I are playing. We've only had one game so far, but it was a lot of fun and I ended up capturing one of Rufus' Roughcoats, a 'not so cunning Fox called Centus.

I'm figuring that with the loot from the battle plus the ransom money, I might be able to recruit another critter to my warband. With this batch of painting and converting I wanted to include some good cheap troops together with a couple of weapons that I have not got represented in my collection yet, such at the Caliver and the crossbow.

I've added an article to my hobby blog that includes character cards for the 6 models.

This is a model of a fantasy style 28mm Coaching Inn that I have 3D printed and painted from a design by Printable Scenery which I'm planning to use as a Coaching Inn, 'The One Eyed Rat' in our Burrows & Badgers

Lots more photos and details of additions etc on my hobby blog @

Great looking stuff. The gaming table was amazing.

During the between game 'Wanderings' one of my Critters wandered into the Slave Market and liberated a 'small creature' to join my league. As I have been enjoying reading Redwall Abbey recently, I decided to choose a mouse.

This was good timing as a couple of days ago I received the 'proofs' from the pre-production molds for mice and rat heads. Last night I sorted out some conversions using Copplestone Castings halflings and these Albedo Critter Conversion Kits.

I'll post some more pictures once I've got them painted.

Last weekend, Ann & I finally managed to schedule in some time to play the second game in our Burrows and Badgers campaign. In our first game Ann's Warnand 'Ruffus' Roughcoats' had come of slightly worse than my 'Long March Patrol' as one of her Characters, Centus had managed to get himself captured and she did not have the funds to pay the ransom. I had my own problems following the first game as both of my archers had picked up arm injuries meaning the could no longer use a bow. I did however manage to pick up a new recruit at the Slave market, a likely looking young Shrew called Joseph.

I also did a 4 minute video of last Burrows and Badgers game.

Critter of Fortune magazine.

Hopefully their artist is a fast drawer, the crew can hardly pose for hours when there's loot to be grabbed...

The mouse/rat heads do look rather cute on those halflings.

Last week I got a macro lens for my camera so have been busy photographing conversions that I have done using Albedo Miniatures heads and bodies from my bits box. I have created a new gallery for the images and have added a note for each one saying what parts were used.
