More Adventures On The Road of Blood

"Reiksguard, you have failed me one last time!"

"The Praagengaardian troops have secured the only road leading to Virostania and left a small garrison to keep any intruders away. Unfortunately for Baron Maxim, the road was closed just before his beloved wife, Lady Svetlana, had returned from her trip to Middenheim. Escorted only by small band of troops, a small skirmish occured and she was captured by no other than the notorious bandit and grand nuisance of Virostania, Captain Grigorus. Now, the Pragengaard demands ransoms from Baron Maxim, and he has a tought choise to make: save her wife or give up the family Runefang?"

Today we played with Anssi a scenario from 5 th. edition Siege supplement, the Starve Out, with armies of 650 p. (Anssi) and 500 p. (me). The compulsory supply wagon represented Lady Svetlana's royal cart which was promptly smashed into tiny bits by Leadbelchers and Captain. The game was fun to play, and we also saw Anssi's new and cool-looking (how can a man without pants be cool?!) Flagellants cruising their way through Halberdier detachment, Reiksguard Infantry and my Captain finally stopping into three Handgunners. The Reiksguard once again let me down, and I'm NOT including them in next scenario.

Tomorrow I'll have the camera back and take some pictures of the old War Wagon and W.I.P Mechanical Steed. Watch this space..

god; it is done

Sometimes a man is called by a greater force - Destiny, perhaps - to overcome his limits to archieve something greater. Indeed, my hour has come. For today's job, I should be taken to Valhalla, sitting behind a busty valkyrie riding a fucking pegasus.

.. by which I mean to say, I finished project flagellant. I do have to base them still, though.
I have to say I'm fairly satisfied with their quality, especially considering the frame I was working in. They've got that sort of apocalyptic feel I wanted.

Now some rest, I've got 15 greatswords to paint.

Banners W.I.P

Recently I have been painting some banners as my inspiration for the White Wolves got lost. I wasn't too happy about the colours I chose, and left them alone for a time being.

Well, these banners are actually just printed Empire banners and given the colours of Virostania. I call this technique "Lazy-Man's Freehand", but to be honest, I doubt that I had such a skill drawing a good-looking Griffon on a paper not to mention paint it!

Other paintings look good too. Now I have painted enough troops to wield an army around 1250 points. I wish I could include some Ogres or Dwarves (The Imperial ones!) in my army as it expands. I have to wait my next salary and see where I put my money..
