Marienburg vs. the Undeadish (update: undead & spooky stuff)

[Suber]

Haha, that's pretty clever, I love it!

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks! I was really just trying to make it so it wouldn't be identified as a triceratops. But then I thought, hmmm skeletal owlbear. To go with my zombie owlbear. I need to get a "living" one now.  :-D

So... There's now this creation. Horc Solo. Read on zee blog if you're curious about him.

Great work on that orc - and all the more impressive given the blurry detail on those Bones orc faces! Bravo!

Just read your blog post about the despoiling hobgoblins. If you want four more of those troopers, I'll post them to you - just PM me your address.

When I posted pics of my painted Drew Williams trolls, a few people asked where I got them. They're available again, along with three new ones, for a limited time.

I'm not very good at this "not buying new minis" thing. But at least I'm still keeping it to a minimum. And these were both hard to pass up and bargains as well...



I've wanted the Serpentine Dragon since I was a teen. The other is some sort of Kickstarter exclusive mini from a boardgame, and is very fitting for the Meat Hating Robot Pirates.

The Kali Automaton is from Smog: Rise of Moloch, a CMoN game which actually turned out to have good gameplay (they don't always) as well as some nice "steampunk" minis.

Love the skeletal Owlbear, very clever.

Thanks! I like the fact that it's "Kali" and I might keep some concept of that when I paint it up for my Meat Hating Robot Pirates. 


I was excited for half-Orctober. But I've been travelling a lot for work and have barely had time for painting. Here's my humble start.

A good start. My brother had one of those half orcs when we were in our teens and we both loved the chunkiness of the sculpt.

Where are you getting the Grenadier fighting men from?  I'm striking out with the retailers I got my barbarian army from.

I have a box of them. PM me if interested.

[Hobgoblin]

Great to see them coming on! They're one of the best Regiments of Renown, I think. I often think the preslotta RoRs were better than their later incarnations (Grom's Goblin Guard and Harboth's Black Mountain Boys in particular), but these are the pick of the slottabased bunch.

[ZeroTwentythree]

To be honest, most of my experience with the old RoR was slotta-age. When I first got into Warhammer the only Citadel minis I could find were boxed sets. (I'm in the US, so I started off with Ral Partha & Grenadier.) So in terms of Citadel, I started by collecting most of the slotta RoR and Machineries of Destructioni. These hobgoblins, Knights of the Cleansing Flame, and Grom's (and I'm going to disagree with you here - I really like the slotta Grom unit, especially the musician ) were the only ones I didn't have back in the day.

Sadly, most of those old units are gone now.

I'm developing a renewed interest in the RoR. Obviously. I see Notlob's Artillery pop up every so often, and at some point the price will be right for me to grab a set. The half-orcs seem a bit (er, a lot) more elusive. Honestly, so do all of the Citadel half-orcs, unfortunately for me. But I've been pretty happy with the alternatives I've been rooting out.

I'm still enamored with the idea of creating my own Regiment(s) of Renown at some point, too.

No progress on the half-orcs. Travelling a lot for work this month. On a positive note, I'm on a work trip that's close enough to make it to a gallery opening that will have a few of my creepy toy things tonight...

Not creepy - but extremely creepy!

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks! It was monster & Halloween themes show, after all. 

Pic from the evening in question. I'm leftmost in the lineup.




With travelling for work keeping me busy, I haven't had much time for painting. I painted the flesh on all of the despoiling hobgoblins half-orcs (hob-orcs?) but also painted one to completion so I could test out how they would look
