Cheers mate - it was a great game and the Skulldredd rules are v. good!

Looking forward to the your next installment of Stillberg!

Got all four heroes done now, need to finish basing the last one and then seal them etc before photographing. I have three militia guards and Phoncible Bernadotte (mayor of Stillburg, defenitely not a hero) in various states of half done. =)

Don't think I'll be able to post anything this week, I have a mate coming to stay for a few days of gaming and beer. I'm on vacation now, while my Mrs is still working. =D Geeky days, geeky days! Will try to sucker him into a game of Skulldred, or maybe a trial run of my first Stillburg scenario (using SOBH) with some figs half painted. No pics. =)

Sounds like fun!

Next update on the Linden Way Militia - the men left behind...

Managed to procure these 4 halberdiers who represent those who were too inexperienced, flatfooted or feeble to march with the rest of the garrison against the Goblin hordes attacking the area around Ortar. Usually to be found clustering around their gruff Breton sergeant these men form the nearest thing to professional soldiery in the defence of Linden Way...

The Stillburg militia (almost painted now) is very similar. Halberds, red shirts (in a nod to Star Trek) and all. Using two old Metal Magic / Mega minis, and a third one I can't identify. First two guys you have there would fit right in!

The Star Trek Redshirts = expendable Orc bait crossed my mind too!

Got the last of the Rear Guard contingent of the militia done - two crossbowmen I picked up in a job lot with some of the other men-at-arms a while back. No crossbows detailed in the scenario for the militia but I'll include them anyway 'cos I like them!

... and the whole Rear Guard together -

Also got a few of the actual militia done too!

Reynard Quicksilver - adventurer

and two thief adventurers -

Gustave

and Ric

I've written a load of background for these characters on the blog - getting late so you'll have to read it there!

The female thief model is pretty cool, I need more character models of the classic adventurer classes! Nice touch with Leofric's sexual angst.

phreedh · « **Reply #247 on:** 11 July 2010, 08:09:50 PM »

Höh, just noticed the giant ass-chin on Reynard!

Haven't you painted one of these already, btw?

Thantsants · « **Reply #248 on:** 11 July 2010, 08:20:47 PM »

Cheers Phreedh!

No haven't painted a Diggory Finefighter (think that's his proper name?) before - the ass-chin was the inspiration for his rather vain character and ineffectual heroics!

As for Ric and Leofric and their confused and one-sided love story - well you need a bit of panto/shakespearean comedy style shenanigans to lighten up all the doom and gloom what with hordes of orcs advancing and the very state of Ramalia ready to topple...

Those two would be a second stage AD&D female thief (have you got all three yet?) and an Irillian ranger. Nice figures and paint job.

Your little back story reminds me of, "I like you Bob..."

Thantsants · « **Reply #250 on:** 12 July 2010, 09:03:50 PM »

Just got the lovely lady I'm afraid Erny.

Who is this Bob you speak of?

Thantsants · « **Reply #251 on:** 13 July 2010, 12:29:52 AM »

Well had a good day's painting yesterday and got the militia finnished - its getting late again and as I've written a whole load more background for the more characterful members of the band on the blog I won't reproduce it here!

Here's the link if you're interested - http://teasgettingcold.blogspot.com/2010/07/we-few-we-happy-few-we-band-of-brothers.html

Now for the pics!
