I love them all, esoecially the Vampires and there's seven of them

Glad you like them. And that was what I'd been watching when I decided on the colour scheme for them... (mmmm, Julie Ege...

)

Thanks for the comments all, very nice of you.

What rules system are you planning on using with these?

JollyBob · « **Reply #32 on:** 24 August 2009, 11:10:21 AM »

Its going to be a homebrew version of Mordheim with the campaign stuff stripped out. I'm only planning on running it at BLAM this year so it needs to be fairly fast and easy to pick up.

I still need to playtest it to see if my rules for new weapons and skills work ok, but it won't be drastically different in terms of stats etc.

And here's the last few bits of the project for the time being. Ten peasants (actually Curtey's minis) another hungry ghost, and a wandering mystical Panda:

So now I've got all the figures done, have finished the terrain and have a game planned for tomorrow night. Keep your eyes peeled for the report!

Great as usual and that Panda is superb...

Cheers Mike!

Nice peasanty shade of black you have there, the ghost's red eyes are really .. err.. eyecatching and I agree about that Panda.

Great stuff!

Thank you.

However, now the relief of finishing a project for the first time ever has worn off a bit, and I look at the pictures again, I'm not happy with them at all.

Rushed them through just to get them finished, cocked up in several places and made an arse of the highlights on the panda's jacket (not to mention the mould line on his arm - didn't even see that while painting it!).

Ah well, there's a valuable lesson learned, then.

so, are those hobbit peasants?

Don't be so hard on yourself JollyBob!

And White Knight - don't mock the afflicted…

(the peasants, not JollyBob…)

Robby, Don't be hard on yourself, they look great.

I love the gap toothed chap at the top right and that panda is my absloute favourite of the whole range.

Well, following the playtest last week, it was decided that amongst the rules tweaking I had to do, I also needed to paint up a few more models for the Undead warband, as it was painfully obvious in the game that the only thing zombies have going for them is their Fear causing ability. And if you can overcome that, they really aren't up to much.

But if you can mob a lone figure with three or four of the buggers, well, that's a different story! (I'm beginning to see how Akula got started now!)

Anyway, the last, absolute and definitely final pieces for the game:

An Evil Warrior henchman for the Vampire and Necromancer, who will hopefully add a bit more stability to the line-up:

I chose him because his outfit is almost excatly the same as the zombies' uniforms - well, except for the Mickey Mouse ears.

Then a couple more of the regular rotters:

And a special comedy zombie (from Cold War) because he just fit in with the rest:

This now makes the Undead the most numerous warband, but they will probably be the most challenging to play too.

Phew! Is it alright if I stop now...?

I wish you hadn't mentioned the ears as its all I keep looking at now

He looks very evil especially with that dodgy tache.

Very nicely done

I'm gonna see if I can grow a moustache like that by the end of the month. Douglas fairbanks by way of Charlie Chan.

(I won't really. My facial hair is too thin even for that crap a tache!

)

Get a couple of slugs - it worked for Baldrick, although balancing two of them could be tricky
