Half-Humans: The Halfling Archers


Half Humans: The Halfling Archers

The models as described before have been taken from the Dogs of War set The Fighting Cocks from the early to late 1990s.  They are a mix of GW models that tie in a common archer theme.  The Ogre in the middle ranks acts as a unit filler painted to match in the same way and is the Ogre BodyGuard from the mid 1990s game Mordheim.  A custom banner must still be added to the Standard Bearer and more Archer bits will be added once a few more units have been completed.

My Fighting Cocks painted up Green!


Mordheim bodyogre Added to the Center!

The custom banner is added here next to the ogre. some eggs added to it with some bretonnian shields matching the colors of the unit.  Next some shields with checkered patterns that will be added to the unit.

AdeptiCon 2014 Warhammer Fantasy TT: Bad Dice Coverage



I get to be on Bad Dice! 5:42 minutes in we got kicked out of the runnings in the first round of the Team Tournament at adepticon! Had a lot of fun though and kicked it the next 2 games!

Half-Humans: The Halfling Army Sword and Board

Half-Human: Sword and Board Battle Forge Halflings

 

This is a unit of 24 sword and board halflings with a hand painted banner.  All details are finished up with eyes, custom banner, and countless layers on all leather, blue, and steel.  My usual raised bases as well.  Going to be adding some details to the bases if I can like skulls and weapons strewn about.


This is my unit of 24 battleforge Sword and Board halflings

Angled view

Hand crafted nest egg on the front of the banner!

Back view close up.

Getting these bad boys together was tough all bases had to be altered since they weren't slotta bases, ended up tooling them, then pinning them.  Lots of washing and layering.  More to come with the Halflings I just have to organize some colors, be prepared to see them at Blood in the Sun 2014.

Adepticon 2014 Best painted GMM Studios: Rise of the Worm King!

Rise of the Worm king Display Fantasy Champs 6.5' tall on antique chair.

This army won I think best painted and best display during the two day GT at Adepticon.  Done by GMM Studios out of Indiana.  A great piece of work with multiple conversions, hand painted banners, and a custom castle standing 6.5' tall.  Additionally, a full scale skeleton built into the Mountain side.  Truly brings up the standard for 2015, what will come next?!  Things that I caught wind of was that this at least took 1-2 months of continuous work away from Brandon's commissions.  He drew inspiration from Old Art and New Art.  So never let anything pass you by and always use your imagination.

Angled view of army.
