The Mighty Megatron


 

Dark Age Irish Warband


 This is me working out my warband for a Dark age campaign. I can't really get going on it until I have finished my Hobbit armies for an up coming show. So In the meantime time this sketch of the warband will have to do. Out of the hat I got the Black shield Irish.

The rules will be One hour wargames, and it's interesting to see the small size of the warband. Then again it is a skirmish game.

Lake Town and Beorn

I've been messing around adding to the bear to days and trying not to rush myself. I'm so desperate to get some paint on it that I almost started today. However, I stopped myself and just added a bit more fur. This time I also ad buyded some to the bears face and now I'm finally happy with it.




Cheeky!
Some more help turns up to bolster Lake town and just in the nick of time.


Two of these bases are really shoddy militia types. Pitch forks are a great short hand for 'rabble'. I can't imagine they will hold for long against the goblin horde.

Another hero base .

I think he looks angry, ragged and damn right mean now...let's get him painted up.


I've added hints of blue so the whole force will tie together.


 The men start to suffer from the fierce wolf packs.


The men with their long swords and the tough veterans from the Iron hills.

Beorn picks up Thorin and takes him to safety.

Dwarven re-enforcements arrive just in the nick of time. It was so much fun to painting these guys again after a couple of years of history stuff.
Most of these are Asgard miniatures with a few Citadel figures sprinkled in.

The greenstuff came out again as I had a bit more to do on Beorn. While it was mixed up I sculpted a few more Dwarf packs.

Beorn gets some more shaggy patches, this should make him look a bit more rugged and wild.
A Dark age Irishman gets a new cloak from the spare putty laying around. This is a crude sculpt as the putty was almost dry. I did manage to get it into some kind of shape and gave it a rough material texture.

The new company was put straight to work keeping the wildlife in check.

A fallen warrior is moved to the rear.

This bear needs to be completed and move on, he is costing me a fortune in honey.


 I'm enjoying making these simple packs. Nothing too taxing but very rewarding.

War for Cybertron game






The new Deception medic 'Wrench' gets his first taste of combat.

 I love this little cassette bot, he's so cute. I must make some more.


Skyfire brings the rain.
