2024 Hobby Log

So I went looking for spare parts for some repairs I was doing to a goblin WHFB/OW army. Then I found this….

So I was part of a Blood and Plunder campaign last year where I thought my French could benefit from some European regulars in the roster. I had planned to add some Wild Geese/Irish Foriegn legion to the mix but never got around to painting them. Here they are in Lally Infanterie regimental colours, red coats, green undercoats and green cuffs.

In the background you may also see a cheeky old 1990’s slanneshi Minotaur complete with whip marks and g-string.

As my group goes deeper into Mordheim we realised the new building look so much better than the old card stock that I had no option but to ‘renovate’ the old buildings. For 25 year old cardvord buildings, I think they look great!

Does this count for the Spring Clean Challenge?

So I played a game of Mordheim at the club monthly get together. This game still has it! Mercenaries Vs Possessed. Glory to the Shadow Lord!

So I played Test of Honour. I won the game and like all gamers suddenly wanted everything for the game. My club will do 3 months of ToH from June, so I have time to paint a force.

I was sure I already owned some samurai so went looking. I found a box labelled ‘Samurai’. A very promising start!

Inside I found a fully painted 28mm fantasy samurai army I remember painting but not buying. I also found a Warmaster samurai army I remember buying but not painting. I also found a box labelled ‘GW Nippon’.

Inside were 100 samurai, 25 ninjas, 2 Nippon rocket crews, the citadel ‘oriental dragon’, foo-dogs, 20 undead samurai, some Japanese looking wizards, etc. All GW/Citadel, some pre slotta, and all either bare metal or primed and ready to go.

It’s Autumn in Oz but it may be time for a Spring Clean Challenge!

So between January and March we got ready for our Mordheim campaign. 5 players, 8 trial games later and we are good to go for an April 1st kick-off (no foolin’!).

Anyway, we 3D printed 8 buildings in January and I painted them in February. They don’t blend badly with some of the Warcry terrain from the first box release or the 6-8th ed Warhammer ruined tower. Already started using them in the trial games and it all looks good!

So as per-normal I was too busy playing games and getting hobby done to post about it. I’ll try and remember it all but let’s start with the siege stuff. It’s all for a future campaign starting in June of Warhammer Old World although I’m hoping it’ll also get used in A Song of Ice and Fire too.

The trebuchet is from Wizkids and cost not even a quarter of the GW one.

I particularly like the old GW siege towers with articulated ramps. They still work!
