A blog about my wargaming in Middle-earth, the Old World and some other far away places across the void, with Grand Scale 10mm (and some 15mm) miniatures using the Warmaster, Blitzkrieg Commander, Cold War Commander, Future War Commander and GW's The War of the Ring (and some other ) rule systems. Oh, and there might be the odd post about roleplaying and board games here and there. So all the usual geeky stuff we are so proud of!

DWMG Robomen
Just a quick post today. These are the latest addition to my Doctor Who Miniatures Game collection. These are from Black Tree Design miniatures and are 28mm scale. A handy addition to the Dalek forces and the odd evil genius here and there.

Death of a Player Character
It is with sad regret that I have to inform you of the passing of a once great player character.
On the tenth day of the month of June in the Year of Our LORD 2018, an ill prepared expedition of adventurers traveled north from Neverwinter. This foolhardy expedition were beset in the early hours of the morning by Beastmen. Having dispatched the initial assault of these vial creatures, the adventurers were in short order set upon again by more of these fearsome beasts from the same herd.
In the ensuing battle, Ekckhhardth was reduced to near certain death. In an act of final desperation, his colleagues note that Ekckhhardth performed a desperate act. He cast a Fire Rune spell beneath him detonating the arcane charge.
This act of desperation guaranteed his immediate demise but resulted in taking the life of many of the Beastmen as well. Ekckhhardth companions, once recovered from the shock of the detonation, were able to dispatch the few remaining creatures and flee for their lives.
In this way, Ekckhhardth sacrificed his own life to save that of his companions. An act not in keeping with his usual behaviour but one that was much appreciated.
May Ekckhhardth rest in peace...
Or in pieces as it turned out in the end.

Reaper Mini's Death Shroud
Just finished painting up a Reaper Miniatures Death Shroud for my Chaos Wars and Kings of War undead forces.
It's another really nicely made miniature from Reaper Miniatures. I chose to purchase the more expensive metal version as I prefer to have metal over plastic when I can get it.
So I can't speak for the Bones plastic version as to how well it is made. The metal version however is very nice.
This lad joins my undead forces currently being painted for Chaos Wars. But it will also make a nice addition for Kings of War.
I painted this mini by first base coating it in black spray. I then heavily dry brushed it in white paint so as to highlight the more raised sections. I was careful not to paint the interior of the shroud whilst doing this. I then applied a blue wash over the entire mini. Once dry, using a mid-blue colour I once again dry brushed the miniature, being careful to keep the dry brushing to the more raised areas so as to not cover over my previous paint work. I then applied a light blue dry brush lightly over the raised areas, again being careful not cover my previous work. Finally I used white paint to very lightly dry brush the raised areas. After that, all that was needed was basing the miniature.

Ral Partha's Armoured Skeletons for Chaos Wars
These lads are from the Ral Partha / Iron Wind Metals Skeleton Starter Set for Chaos Wars.
Just recently finished this Chaos Wars unit. Took me much longer than I expected due to too many other distractions. But these mini's are really nicely sculpted and worth the money. Nice dramatic poses and look mean.
Another unit added to my undead Chaos Wars army!
