Love it - best flight stand I've ever seen!

[Koyote]

Thanks, all.

The bird and flight stand are a Helldorado mini. I gave it a corvus beak by snipping off the curved end of the beak and then elongating it with greenstuff.

The zombie's neck was too bendy and fragile so I snipped the vertebrae off at the shoulders, drilled a hole down into the body, and then inserted the end of the neck bones into the hole. This shortened the length of the vertebrae being ripped out of the body, but made that part of the model much less prone to bending an breaking off.

 Very nicely done and the Helldorado miniature is a great one.

Dwarf Treasure Hunter & Halfling Hornblower (counts-as Treasure Hunter & Bard)





These fellas are a couple of late 80s Citadel miniatures, much deserving of paint and a place on my gaming table.

Lovely work!

[Psychoflexible]

Smart choice of miniatures and lovely painting.

I've assembled my first 4Ground Mordanburg building for my Frostheim table.  It was a bit daunting at first, but once I got into it, it turned out to be a fairly easy build.  The instructions recommend wood closepins, so I used them and they worked like a charm.

You can save a few bucks by purchasing the buildings unpainted, but as far as I'm concerned the extra money is well worth it.

 I forgot to snap a photo of the finished product, but once I've finished assembling the other four buildings I will post a group shot.



In addition to the ruined buildings, I purchased two 4Grounds 6" Linear Fire Wall markers to use as markers for the Wall spell and  two 4Ground 6" linear smoke markers to use as markers for the Fog spell. The smoke markers are ok, but the fire wall markers are awesome.

I also bought six 4Ground 1" Burning Wreckage markers which I can find a use for in other games (e.g. marking burning buildings and fields when playing SAGA's Harry & Burn scenario or as the burning ghosts for the ZBP The Crimson Twins quest).



4Ground is quickly becoming one of my favorite toy companies.

I've finally settled on a Captain for my "good guy" warband.  This little fellow is from Forgeworld's Manann's Blades Command kit.




I've replaced the model's peg leg with a boot, added a dagger, and swapped out the left hand and shield for a hand holding a pistol. For game purposes, the pistol will count as a crossbow.

I've also decided to finally put some paint on Yorick, the war-monkey.  Years ago, I used Yorick as a counts-as warhound in my Mordheim Kislev warband. It's a fun little model.  Now, me-thinks that Horatio would make a good counts-as warhound or thief for my Frostheim warband.




Pictured below is the progress I've made on my new Frostheim terrain.  The building in the center is still under construction.  I've ordered two more buildings from 4Ground, along with some carts and crates that I can use as scatter terrain in between the buildings.  

My plan is to fill up the rest of the table with repurposed ruins and sections of short walls from my store of Malifaux terrain, along with some additional terrain that I've collected along the way, but haven't yet painted.

Yorick the War-Monkey (counts-as Warhound)

splendid work...love it!!! 

[Koyote]

splendid work...love it!!! 

Thanks.

I think that the monkey's eyes make him look a bit sleepy.  It's not what I was trying for, but I know that if I try to fix them, I'll just screw em up. Looks like I'm stuck with a sleepy war-monkey.
