So where are the defenders?

And the whole bunch:

There is something truly appealing about Landsknect, at least to moi. You have a FINE array of the Rogues, AND BEAUTIFULLY painted to boot. GREAT WORK!

Is that your game mat? Have any details on how you made it?

[**GS**]

Yep, that's mine.

I made it myself and that's how it works:

You need:
- A suitable peace of cloth, not too fine (I got mine from a shop selling leftovers)
- A fitting even surface as big as the cloth.
- 1-3 tubes of white acrylic paste to fill joints with (Do't know the exact word). Take the cheap stuff from the DIY shop (max 1$/€ per tube).
- The acrylic paints to color the acrylic paste with (I also take the cheap paint from the DIY shop)
- sand from the next playground (no costs)
- Grass flock in the colors you like (about 300 g of which you will keep about 120 g)
- I prefer one and off rubber gloves for the task.


What you do:
Fix the cloth to an even surface. At least use weights. Better to screw or nail it to a board or frame.
Mix up the acrylic paste with the paints and about 1/3 of this mass in sand. Make it be a smooth muddy substance.
Take on the gloves and smear the mud onto the cloth. Make the mud about 2-3 mm high. If you like a fixed road in your mat, you can model it now.
Onto the still wet mud you apply the grass flock in patches you feel appropriate for your personal mat  .
Leave it to dry for at least 8 hours better 12-14. Drying time depends on weather, heating and frame or board you used.

After drying time you carefully take off the excess grass flock with handbrush and shovel.
If you like it do some dry brushing to highlight the sand in the mat.

here you are.

You can fold the mat, roll it and it will not break.

Costs: 13 € for 6' x 4' mat

Thanks. I've been wanting to try this to have a surface to just throw on my kitchen table rather than go down to my crummy basement to play on my full gaming table.

Great Landsknechts - with them and that cannon, the town should be secure!

[**GS**]

And now some painted snakes:


































I now see that I kind of smeared the right side of the lens. I will have to clean it.

I hope you like the pictures nevertheless.

Cheers

The Snake Fellows painted up SPLENDIDLY...I like your choice of colors. GREAT WORK!

[Diakon]

  Those snakes are amazing. Great models with lovely paintjobs. Especially like the crazy parasol one. Who makes them? Would really like to get my hands on a few.

[Diakon]

Just checked back up the thread I know who make's 'em now.

Hi there again,
I am progressing with my GW-Minis of old:







The Redskin Gobbos are a strange offspring if the original greenskin breed. Fed on highly poisonous fungus from the first days of their existence they develop a different skin color and a much more mean demeanor. And there is the issue of the increasing reproduction rate, too!

This little town will surely suffer, as many more are to come

Hope you eh... like them?

Cheers
GS

[DeafNala]

Those are some OH-SO-COOL Little Red Guys. While they're old minis, they're new to moi...lots of early G.W. stuff never made it over the Pond. Your brushwork did a lot to enhance their individual personalities. GREAT WORK!

[Spooktalker]

Inspiring stuff! Nice mix of Morrison, Olley and Adams gobbos. Just been reading Forces of Fantasy lately where the red goblins are one of 5 separate goblinkind lists and are "by far the most evil hearted" and stil serve their wizard masters, who may or may not be long dead.

[**GS**]

Ahhrg, the reproduction and they even have bows:
