[KoW] Filthy Moon Tribe

The urge to paint fantasy models has been gnawing at me, so after a long hiatus from the hobby, I picked up the brush and painted (well, repainted) a regiment of goblins I had lying around.

These are the old goblins from the Battle for Skull Pass set for WHFB, which I think are great for getting a lot of great looking infantry tabletop ready quickly.

I originally had these models painted with a MUCH darker colour scheme, which is how I envisioned my goblin army to be, but I think they were a little too dark for the tabletop.
So I added a little more colour with the purple spears, and added a lot more colour in the dirty yellow moons.

With about 120 more models to repaint in this colour scheme, I've got my fingers crossed I have the drive to finish off the entire army!

[Dreadball] Megacon Cardinals

I added another a grey tone to the midsections of my Corporation team to try and break up the red/black and give the models a little more depth.

So here's the last team of my Dreadball v1 Kickstarter completed! I now have an excuse to buy more teams...

[Dreadball] Cobalt City Sentinels

The introduction of the Brokkrs to Dreadball has seen the Forge Fathers replaced as the competitive dwarf team.
This meant my Forge Father team, the Cobalt City Crushers, needed an extra guard to compete as a legal Brokkr team. So here is my Forge Father team (now a legal Brokker team) rebranded the Cobalt City Sentinels!

[Dreadball] Rotgut Grog Renegades

I had this team painted up a while ago, but thought I would take some better photos. The background I used for their last photo shoot made the models look washed-out, so I thought I'd try with a different background.

[Dreadball] Undercity Shadows

With the announcement of the Dreadball v2 Kickstarter launching at the end of this month, I thought it was finally time to get it together and paint the teams I received as part of the Dreadball v1 Kickstarter!

Over the past week I painted through the Veer-myn, and the Undercity Shadows are ready to take to the pitch!

Kings of War Custom Movement Trays

Assembled, with models slotted in for scale

I recently received my Kings of War 2nd Edition Custom Movement Trays, and I'm really happy with the how they turned out.
I had them made up by the excellent folk at THMXcessories - great customer service from Mark and Shaun, I can't recommend them enough.
My custom movement trays allow for 7 models (on 20mm bases) to represent 10 models in an alternating pattern, adhering to the unit footprint rules of Kings of War.

Each custom movement tray is two MDF pieces, each piece is 3mm thick

Relic Knights - Kickstarter Arrived!

In September 2012 I got really excited about a Kickstarter project called Relic Knights by SodaPop Miniatures (of Super Dungeon Explore fame) and produced by CMON.
I backed the project a little too enthusiastically, opting for the Gotta Get 'Em All Pledge, which was one of every faction!
It's now August 2014 - and here's what arrived in the post today... I'm an NOT looking forward to cataloguing to confirm my entire pledge is here!
