Crooked Dice Beastman Heroes 3/4 Tygra and Panthro

 Finally got some decent weather the weekend to catch up on taking some pics. I finished off Tygra and Panthro last week after finally making do with what colours I had available for them both. I am quite pleased to get the last two finished. I have a resin print of the Thundertank to paint but not feeling brave enough to tackle that quite just yet.

I've got a 7TV event coming up in July. Its for 7TV Fantasy again so I am planning on taking one of three casts for it. At the moment its a toss up between the Thundercats which I would need to do the Tank and count it as some sort massive creature for as there are no models for Wilykit, Wilykat or Snarf as yet. 

Second choice is a Goblin themed warband I have probably around half this cast painted already and have a good chunk of figures ready to be painted to bulk the warband out. I must admit this option is sitting at the top of my list at the minute. I grabbed the remaining Goblins that I didn't have from Crooked Dice before Christmas as well as picking up the new Goblin King on Throne. I also picked up some of the new Sculpts from Otherworld Miniatures. so have got around 13 figures to paint but. They will look excellent enmass. I can't comment on how they will play though they are numerous but weak.

Finally an Elven Warband of which I have a single figure ready for. I am also am waiting on a Games Workshop made to order for Wood Elf Sentinels and Lady Galadriel so that adds waiting time on I love the LOTR Wood Elf sculpts and also added in some of the unarmoured Elves from Rivendell to give me some more sculpt choices. I would probably want a great eagle for this band which would give me an excuse to paint up the Red Kite model from Burrows and badgers as its only equipment is a breast plate which wouldn't look out of place amongst other ranges and the big bonus is I already have the figure.

Hasslefree Dwarves

 Man the weather has been awful of late. I always seem to be at work when its decent weather and its dull. grey or stormy when I am home and have time to take some pics! I managed to snap a few this morning though as per the norm it is brighter as I am writing this post! 

For the 7TV day earlier in the month I needed to paint up some more figures as most my Fantasy stuff I have that is painted is sort of a bit scattershot and nothing had a consistent theme. I'd picked up a few bits from Hasslefree/Crooked Dice last year and it was a bit of toss up between Dwarves or Goblins. However Goblins would of meant painting 13 figures vs the Dwarves 6. With time being short the Dwarves won out!

Annoyingly I have misplace the shields for two of the Dwarves I put them somewhere safe so I could paint the backs of the figures but for the life of me I can't bloody find them! I will have to sort out some replacements as the ones in my bits box were to big unfortunately










These two should have shields on there backs but have been misplaced in fact this pic is blurry so will be replaced when I get five!

Board in Brum 7TV Fantasy Day

Greetings folks long time no post! Been a busy start to the year in my work life lately and have struggled to find free time to catch up with blogs and posts. I've done a little bit of painting here and there and last weekend attended a 7TV Fantasy Event at my local store. It was a great turn out with 14 of us playing 7TV whilst an Marvel Crisis Protocol tournament was held in the other half of the gaming hall. It was good to see old friends and met some new ones and have a good natter and roll some dice.

The event was run by Simon Coldrick the store owner as unfortunately Mike Strong couldn't make it. We played 4 game through out the day with a dungeon type game after lunch where each of us all brought along a co star and had to get the centre of the dungeon and escape.

I need to get some pics of my cast but I am never around at home when the light is decent. Hopefully one of the weekends coming up and I will take pics of the Dwarves I got finished for the event.

My Dwarven Throng led by Queen Bjork with her Hammer Maidens and their retinue.



Some but not all of the boards we got to play on during the day.



This was the dungeon board we all started in the outer ring and had to work our way through the dungeon before each ring filled with poison gas. Every turn you rolled for traps and you had to kill monsters and watch out for other players.

It was a lot of fun after a bit of back stabbing we were off and worked together and my Hammer Maiden managed to escape first! Managed to avoid other players and I killed a zombie and wounded a werewolf. Didn't get chance at the final big monster but it was brought down in a combined effort.









Some of the casts I missed a few as they were still being used in games so I didn't get pics of all of them.
