2024 Hobby Log

So there have been games, lots of games. This gem was a Stargrave introduction game set in the ‘Scum and villainy’ creature canteens.

Our Mordheim campaign is as fun as it is brutal! Undead, Sisters, Witch hunters, skaven, Reiklanders and Middenheimers all duking it out in the ruins of the city of the damned. Here’s tonight’s game where my Middenheimers hammered out a victory against Reiklanders.

So I decided to add another regiment to my Averlanders amd Nordlanders. This time Spearmen (Averlanders) and Nordland swordsmen, both on the new and improved 25mm squares.

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!
