Frazer's Hobby Update

Here is what I have been working on over the last week

I have started some Dropzone figures for Dave, the initial requirement for infantry is done and the first drop ship is in the process of getting magnets attached.  I am planning an urban camouflage scheme for all the vehicles.

 

I have also knocked out some sheep and chickens to add a bit of character to the various 28mm games we play.  Ideal for any period from the Dark Ages to WW2 and beyond.

 
Also I have to transform the metal looking Panzer III into the two tone camouflage scheme; again for Dave in preparation for him attending the ETC Tournament in Prague as part of the New Zealand team for Flames of War

Hobby Round up 2015 Week 7

After a sparse week of hobby last week, this week we have some progress on the hobby front.

First up this week are Elliot's collection of Malifaux Neverborn figures. Chris and Elliot have decided to start playing Malifaux, and Elliot's choice of faction was driven by the chance to use a big teddy bear!

Although you cant see, not they have been undercoated, Elliot has created some cobblestone bases for his miniatures.

Chris has been working on the additions to his Dark Eldar for several months and they are now finally complete. First up, two units of Scourges.

 

And a last minute addition to this post, a Succubus to lead the Wyches into battle. This picture is suffering lack of light, but you get the idea. 

 

As well as painting Dark Eldar, Chris has been building Night Goblins, with the 80 plastic spear goblins now finished, complete with musician and standard bearer conversions. Just the Clubbers and Netters and Spider Riders to do next...

 

 

 

Games Night

This weeks games night was a two game affair with me and Elliot playing 40k, and Neil, NDM and Simon playing Warhammer Fantasy.

 

The majority of the of the photos are from the 40k game as that's what I was playing.

 

My 1500 points of Necrons. This marked their first time out since the release of the new Codex

Elliot deployed his Blood Angels first, spread thinly across the battlefield

The Death company decided not to charge, then the following turn failed their charge, and eventually jumped in!

Three Wraiths vs a Tactical squad. This combat went on for 3 turns, with the Tactical Marines eventually victorious

After wiping out the Wraiths, the Tactical Marines got ready for the Flayed Ones who went on to roll snake eyes for their charge!

After a fast start and a 9-3 victory point lead after four turns, the Blood Angels managed to turn things around and with a point for Line Breaker secured a hard fought draw.

 

Neil (aided by Next Door Matt) and Simon played Battle for the Pass.

 

Neil's Empire face off against Simon's Warriors of Chaos

The 'Welsh' Demigryphs get ready to charge the 'English' Chaos

This game also turned out to be a close one with Simon riding the disappointments of slow moving vortexes and the triumphs of the Hellfire Sword.
With Simon heading for a famous victory, his magic item of choice showed its fickle side, killing his Chaos Lord and thus ending the game in a draw.
