Hobby Round up Week 46

After a week of minimal hobby, this week sees us return to form

Elliot has continued on his mission to add to his Blood Angels, with these guys just needing their bases doing

Simon has taken on the sadistical task of building the club's Avatars of War Dwarfs, a handful have been built, with plenty more to go.

Following on from the post from a few weeks ago Fraz finished these tanks for Dave, and it looks like it paid off as Dave came a great 2nd place in this weeks tourniment at Warfare.

And finally for this week  for this week, something a bit different. Neil pledged highly on Mantic Games' Dungeon Saga and has made some progress on getting some of the many figures painted.

Hobby Round up Week 44

Its been a very quiet week in the world of hobby, so much so that the only picture we have is one that missed the deadline last week.

Frazer has made some headway into some more 15mm tanks, look out for more updates on these are going next week

Hobby Round up Week 25

Hello again everyone its hobby update time again.

 

This week we'll kick off with Frazer who has been working on a range of projects, firstly some 15mm British tanks for Simon.

 

 

 

He has also been wrestling with some 28mm moderns; not happy with the camo pattern shown in a previous update, it has gone through some repaints, and Fraz has now settled on the paint job shown below.

 

And finally, he has added some colour to his Disk rider of Tzeentch, maybe we'll see this on the battlefield soon, but will it be for 8th or 9th edition of Warhammer?

 

 

Simon has finished building another carrier for his 15m British

 

 

Neil has started a new project, some Forgefathers for Mantic Games' Deadzone. Here we have 3 Brokkr, 1 with a magma rifle and an engineer with an inferno drill. Also shown is a Forgeguard with auto cannon.

 

 

 

Big Papa Jon has really embraced Guild Ball. He has gone to town with a couple of goals, has undercoated some figures and has swiftly finished painting Greede. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally this week, after finishing (minus bases) his Guild Ball Morticians, Chris has moved onto something a bit different, finishing (again minus base) the first of his 'Ninja Turtles' figures; after finishing Leonardo, he has now started the other three Heroes in a half shell.

 

Panther Ausf G - Painted

I've had these for quite some time but finally finished the camouflage and I have to say that they are pretty nice.  How the oak material holds up in play I have no idea.  Look great though.

Hobby Round up Week 17

A busy week of building models, with a little bit of painting.

 

We'll start with Simon who has been on a construction mission.

 

We have some Chaos Warriors, converted to Khorne using the left overs from some Juggernauts

 

                           

 

He also managed to get some paint on some more Terminators

 

Some of our Guild Ball Kickstarter figures turned up, here are Simon's Masons, ball and goal

 

Simon loves a bit of Wild West action, his Salute purchases have increased his gang count to two

 

 

And finally a Doctor for Dead Mans Hand, another figure from Salute.

 

 

Frazer has been busy finishing off some more models for Dave, we'll hopefully see the finished package next week. This weekend as well as being the very generous taxi driver to Salute, he has been sorting out his Guild Ball figures, one team for him and one for Matt

 

 

With no Guild Ball figures to distract him Neil has been painting Soviets. The picture may be blurry but I can confirm that these figures will allow Neil to field a fully painted Chain of Command force.

 

 

And finally, Chris has been painting some Drop Zone Commander figures for Dave, and will have a finished set of pictures next week. In the mean time here are some Mortician Guild Ball figures that he has built. 

Come back later this week for our Salute report, with so many pictures, you'll think you are there!

Hobby Round up Week 16

Welcome one and all! A quiet one this week.

Neil has been busy out in the sun taking ropey pictures of his offerings.

First of all we have a some Soviet armour, which I'm sure Matt will be looking forward to facing in their upcoming game of Chain of Command

Neil has also been testing some colours on his Trolls. He picked up a load cheap off eBay a while back and has finally got his brush to them. If you squint a bit and tilt your head, you may be able to make out what he's done!

 

 

Chris has continued to chip away at some Drop Zone Commander for Dave. The walkers and tanks are done and the Drop Ships have their base coat of green done. Still quite a bit to do to these, and some infantry bases to follow.

 

 

See you next week, after some of us return from Salute

Hobby Round up Week 14

Happy Chocolate Eating Sunday! Another busy week on the hobby tables of our club member's.

 

Frazer has been busy with a number of different projects, including some 15mm tanks and some 'In Her Majesties Name' figures. That pesky walker is built and now has some paint on it.

 

 

 

Simon has continues his painting frenzy with some more 15mm British for Battle Group...

 ...and a Sergeant for his Crimson Fist Terminators.

 

And finally, Chris has finished his to big units of Night Goblins, that include converted command groups and some Clubbers and Netters. All these units are missing are some Fanatics, which are half done.

 

Battlegroup Overlord Battle Report - Flank Attack 500 points

 

This week we played the Flank Attack mission from the BGO book.  This was a series of encounters between the British Armoured Regiment Commanded by Si and Neil and the elements from the 21^st Panzer Division commanded by Frazer and Next Door Matt.  We played 500 points which we have found to be our realistic maximum for a club night game.

I, Frazer Overlord of all, have been busy with Witches, cowboys, an industrial walker for IHMN and a couple of the Warlord plastic infantry to add to the British IHMN company and a Pegasus for Warhammer Elves

 

 

 

 

Unlucky for some?!

 

It's been busy on the Simon's workbench, anyone would think he's been off work 'ill'...

 

Simon has continued to build Next Door Matt's Chaos Marines; this week we have Terminators, Raptors and some magnetised Special Weapons.

 

 

 

Simon has also been busy paining World War 2 related figures at two scales, firstly the last of his 28mm Brits and then some more 15mm Brits

 

Neil has built some figures in anticipation of playing Lion Rampant, here we have six archers and six halberdiers

 

Chris continues to inflict hobby pain upon himself, he is currently painting a large collection of Night Goblins. The plastic figures are almost done, with just the metal, teeth, eyes and bases to do. The metal Netters & Clubbers and the Fanatics will follow.
