Marienburg vs. the Undeadish (update: D&D(&D))

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thank you!



Maurice Dellamorte has been raising more troops...

[Hobgoblin]

Great stuff! There's something very effective about the pallid necromancer surrounded by his shadowy troops. Whether or not the bones are fire-blackened, it gives a real contrast between the living and the shades of the dead.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks! I was after something a bit different.


On the table...



...the heavy hitters of the Jackrabbit Trading Company, and some more of their goods. The chests and kegs are from WizKids. In spite of the "HD" and "Deep Cuts" labeling on the packaging, the detail is a bit shallow and soft. But the price was good, and I think they will look OK when painted up. I think I also need to go back and buy the adventurers camp ( https://wizkids.com/nolzurs-adventurers-camp/ ) for use with the JTC.

I recently started to organize some of my ideas for mercenary centered games/campaigns. Still a lot of work to do. Some of it is already in collections of notes, or in my head. I figured it was time to organize it: Of Mercenaries, Fighting & Gold (OMFG) ( https://omfghammer.blogspot.com/ )


Daydreaming about solo gaming again. Measured up my basement and I don't think I can fit my table in. Further daydreaming about building some walls inside our (detached, un-insulated, unconditioned) garage to create a game "room." Unlikely. Getting the no-gaming-blues again.

I just love that black Skellie regiment.

[Anselm van Helsing]

So many little knights! 

Those WizKids accessories look good. I recently saw some minis from their range. Quite detailed. But what material are rhey made of - some kind of resin, or the Bones type plastic?

[ZeroTwentythree]

Not sure exactly what the material is. The chests & kegs are pretty blocky, and they're pre-primef. Lightweight. Detail is a bit shallow, in spite of the "HD" and "Deep Cuts" labels on the packaging. But I think they will paint up ok, and the price was reasonable.

Those blackened skellies look bloody good! Did you dry brush etc?

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks. Not exactly drybrushing. Base coat of very dark grey, then a black wash, followed by dark grey highlights done with a technique I understand as being called "overbrushing" which is sort of like drybrushing, but with a wet brush (or thinner paint, or however you'd like to consider it.)


Not much time for painting the past week or so, but did paint up a test mini from the unit of Westfalia goat knights.



Looking forward to getting some time to work on the rest of them!

[ZeroTwentythree]

Prepped some Drew Williams trolls...

[ZeroTwentythree]

Halfway done with the halflings...

[von Lucky]

Looking goo - nice choice on that purple.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thank's. That's part of the Jackrabbit Trading Company's nouveau riche livery, Very Expensive Purple. 

[Schrumpfkopf]

Excellent job on the goats! Is that GW metal?

[ZeroTwentythree]

I don't remember. Might be Vallejo Game Color silver, but I recently bought Army Painter shining silver to try, and I've been switching between them. In either case, it was followed by a wash of GW Nuln oil. I do have GW runefang steel, too, but I don't think that's what I used this time.

Progress on painting bog trolls for the Month of Marsh...



There's a KoW tournament on St. Patrick's Day. Although it's premature, I'm tempted to try scraping together a force of everyone's favorite one eyed swamp bastards (plus guests) as a sort of themed army...
