Package from Mantic Games - Abyssal Dwarves

As I told you at my review of the Kings of War Rulebook, the package from Mantic Games contained not only the rulebook but also a whole bunch of sprues and sachets with the Abyssal Dwarves. This is only the first delivery, the bonus sprues and the new Immortal Guard still wait for production and the other new bonus miniatures will be shipped next spring I hope. Can't wait to get them :)

My first "backer" package from Mantic Games

Rather chaotic and many many things I have to build in the future. And my Dark Elves and Skaven aren't even completly build together. Damn hobby addiction. If I want to paint them all, I'll have to quit my job and lock me up in my painting room for a year or two :)
So yes, I have many things to do and hopefully I won't fill my "Desk of Shame" even more. But motivation returned, I hope I can finish my tower soon and convince Labschi to do some more hobby sessions in the near future (the coming winter* will help to do so I think).


So long,
Paradox0n

*"Winter is coming!" was the first thing I wanted to write. Damn I'm also too addicted to good fantasy novels/movies/series :)

Terrain from spare parts - Part 1.1: Even more fences

In the last part I showed how i made a easy fence out of spare sprues. On my workbench I have even more sprues (really! :) ) so I tried to make another fence. This time I used a bit of styrodur (polystyrol foam) to get a different look.


The steps a very similar as described in the first part. The only difference is that I cut out some blocks from the styrodur and carved in some brickwork.

Terrain from spare parts - Part 1: Fences

Every wargamer has lots of it: Sprues from your miniatures. Most of the time they are just thrown away but i thought of trying to use them to make some cheap terrain. A quick search on google just gave me some inspiration and I tried to make something out of the material lying arround:

Needed material:
  • some spare sprues (obviously)
  • MDF or thick cardboard
  • sand
  • white glue
  • paint
  • static gras
  • a cutter and some brushes
