@biggabum nice paint job. Is that a ‘Killing Joke’ joker? There are so many iterations of all the characters and I’m not overly familiar with DC… Regardless he does look particularly malevolent… Roll on the rest of the crew 🙂
@mage yes really liking Sharp Practice as a rules set – a nice balance between being elegant and realistic. And the heavy narrative focus keeps things a lot lighter than they otherwise might have been in some of these settings. There are 3 Playthroughs on the BoW site, all very entertaining. Ha yes, now that you mention it I could see ancients with fantasy units thrown in to bring them back to a fantasy setting, so I guess it works both ways. That is pretty much how I used to field my Empire army back in 6th ed – lots of core infantry backed up by a few artillery pieces and maybe some cavalry, but no wizards, beasties or magical whistles and bells. Of course I got steamrolled most of the time 🙂 Good fun though.
Spent most of the morning agonizing over Kill Team and what to pick up (I have a wonderful ability to get buyers regret before expending any funds… 😛 ). Finally pulled the trigger on just the core set. I have the dark Imperium box set so between that and the Kill Team starter should have the makings of four forces. What I’m really hoping to use this for is to play a small scale, almost city fight verison of the armageddon campaign. I loves that storyline but I was never going to paint up 2000 Orks hundreds of guards and tanks and a few chapters of Space Marines. As it stands I can hopefully do a small Ork force, some Salamanders, Blood Angels, Black Templars and Steel Legion and I’m done and dusted 🙂
In preparation for that arriving I assembled the 7 Plague Marines form the dark Imperium box set and got them primed. Took surprisingly long to do… Also primed some more bits for my Terrain Challenge project (Just a few more to go…) and the wooden hoardings from my barbican/city wall (Refer below).
Also made some progress on my French Historicals.
As you can probably see I need to get some stuff off my painting bench. So tomorrows plan will be to base the grimbright goblins in the background and maybe get a wash on the Bretonnian archers in the above photo, plus my redcoats. Finally, want to greenstuff and glue the tower sections together for may wall and time permitting, get that lot primed.
Printing some bits and pieces of siege equipment and a few other things queued up I need to finish but will then switch over to printing some ruins/buildings for when Kill Team arrives…
