Here are some photos of my Elf fleet that I have painted over the last week.
This pic is the fleet as a whole.
The phoenix type paint scheme was the test subject that will be used on my 40K marines. I like how it came up so will use it.
Here are some initial photos of my 3d dungeon. I still need to make a lot more wall and floor sections to allow a nice size dungeon to be setup and played with all at once. A big thanks goes to caveman on the hirstarts forum for coming up with the original concept and inspiration.
This next one has a D&D mini in to give scale.
I have received most of my order for Uncharted Seas and Dystopian Wars from Spartan Games. Here are some comparison shots between the 2 games. Other than the fact that the Dystopian Wars miniatures are gorgeous, I really like the fact that the Dys rule book contains all the rules necessary to play the naval, air and ground games and as they all use the same rules that all 3 can be combined in the 1 game. Anyway, on to the comparison photos. I will post more photos when finished or if others are requested. I am still waiting for the Prussian box set and huge airship to arrive. The elven fleet is still waiting for the greenstuff to dry before they can be undercoated.
This photo shows the size comparison between battleship, cruiser and frigate that comes in each of the box sets for the British & elves.
This shows the comparison between the elf battleship and British aircraft carrier.
This photo shows the aircraft carrier partially disassembled. It is made up of 2 battleships and the top deck, with a couple of extra stabilisers for the deck.
Wow, hadn’t realised that it has been so long since my last update but family/work as always seems to encroach on what little gaming time there is. Any way, having been introduced to the Spartan Games line of rules/minis, my latest parcel to arrive was my Thaniras Elven fleet for Uncharted Seas. I ordered these and a couple of small fleets for Dystopian wars and while I am still waiting for the Dystopian wars, the Elven fleet arrived.
I will post pictures, hopefully in the next day or two of at least the unpainted miniatures.
I am also waiting on a shipment from Rebel minis for a large number of 15mm zombies/humans so that I can start playing All Things Zombie: Better Dead then Zed as well as I Zombie (Post Apoc) from THW.
I have decided to make up an Ancients army to be used for DBA and Rally Round the King from 2HW and here are some photos of the camp that I have made. The group I play with use camps approx 4” x 4” so this was made with those dimensions in mind and is 3” x 4”, so slightly smaller.
My minis have arrived so hopefully in the next week I will have photos of my army.
Here are some more pictures of the 15mm sci-fi that I have been painting up. The first are the figures that I will be using for Judge Dredd RPG (if I ever get to play it) or as a JD mini game using the 5150 rules from THW.
The following pictures are 15mm Felids from Khurasan miniatures.
The next are the 15mm Vespulids also from Khurasan.
I have also managed to finish painting up the Earth Force Home Guard and gun teams as well as the Sahadeen War Maidens and gun teams and will post pictures later.
Well, at last my games table (from Monty Haul Gaming) has arrived and I have included some photos of it. What a journey it has been to get it here. It has taken 11 months, 2 sets of legs and some damage being repaired but finally the table is up and running.
Firstly, a quick review. I think that the first thing that needs to be stated is that my wife, who has been against the table from the start absolutely LOVES it now, as she realises that she can have her scrap booking stuff in one half and I can have the other half. This was my big draw card for the table, the way that I can have board games and some miniatures games set up while the table top is on is just the best.
The table is an 8 seater, so this works well when family are over for dinner etc, with 3 seats down each side and one at each end. Each seat has a pull out draw so that you can place character sheets etc on it and it has a nice little dice holder as well.
As an aside, in the above photo you can my geo-hex in the table. This is only the 2nd or 3rd time that it has made an appearance on a games table since I bought it 15yrs ago. This is why I love the table, as it traps the geo-hex inside and I don’t have to worry about it falling of the table anymore.
There have been quite a few issues with the delivery of the table but I must say that Monty Haul have been fantastic to deal with. The freight company, TNT, screwed up big time, TWICE, with the delivery of it. The first was that they had managed to lose the second box that contained the legs and so I had to store it in my garage, on its side for the two weeks it took to get the legs. They lied to my wife about them discussing it with me before delivery, that the legs weren’t there (I wasn’t at home when the table was delivered). They couldn’t find the legs at all, even though it had 4 labels with my name and address on it. Monty Haul, as I have said were great and between them and my wife, TNT kept on being hammered about the legs. After 2 weeks, Monty Haul sent out a second set of legs, and then we were informed that 1/2 an hour after the 2nd legs were sent out that TNT found the legs, sitting in Brisbane and they hadn’t realised what the box looked like.
Secondly, even though they knew how heavy the table was, they came in understaffed and so to ease them carrying it, they unpacked the table (even though they weren’t supposed to), then proceeded to damage it in a number of different locations plus they threw away the internal crossbeam. Again Monty Haul were great and they had a furniture restorer come out yesterday and touch up the scratches etc.
Any way here are some more shots of my table. The miniatures on it are from Rebel miniatures and are 15mm sci-fi. My last post was the painting of the Earth Force and I have now managed to get 2 10 man units plus HQ and support weapons painted for the Sahadeen.
Anyway, here are some more pictures with just some basic scenery.
(ignore the mess in background of the above photo :P )
