And next comes something completely different ... ASOIAF

 Towards the end of January I finished off my Mantic stuff including Clansmen:

Scarecrows:

Spectres:

A Reaper Bones model who will work as the Ice Queen:

And a unit of Arctic fox chaff:

Then for my birthday, I plunged into A Song of Ice and Fire by Cmon games. I have been admiring the miniatures and after watching a bunch of battle reports and reading reviews, the game sounds very good. So, I picked up the Starter and here is my first unit of Lannister guardsmen:

 

KoW and Necrons

 The last few weeks saw some progress on a new Kings of War project - building a Northern Alliance army starting with the Clansmen models from the 3rd edition starter box, these guys were made for GW contrast paints - completed using 6 shades only:

As well as more new Necrons.

Unfortunately, neither unit is likely to see the table any time soon as we go into a serious COVID lockdown. Sigh....

Lots of different stuff!

Last couple of weeks has seen a pretty eclectic variety of stuff coming off the bench.

Starting with a Dreadnought and a Devastator squad armed with converted lascannons for my Imperial Fists army

Water elementals for my Kings of War Forces of Nature army

Characters and a Venerable Dreadnought to lead the Imperial Fists

 And lately a plunge back into 10mm Napoleonics - 95th Rifles by Pendraken, some Magister Militum skirmisher stands, and French line and artillery by GHQ. The GHQ figs are very nice but considerably finer and smaller than Magister Militum or Pendraken..

And finally my warband of Untamed Beasts for WarCry - these guys were made for GW Contrast paints!

Kings of War Forces of Nature and Imperial Fists

With the 3rd edition of Kings of War recently dropped, and an upcoming couple of local tournaments, I decide to assemble a new fantasy army. I decided to go with a Forces of Nature theme, and here are some of the core bits including Earth Elementals, a unicorn, a griffon, swampy (both the griffon and swampy are played as beasts of nature) and swarms of vicious wee beasties (the blobs). This army will have a decidedly "heavy" theme featuring 3 hordes of large infantry (others in progress) and five monsters.

I also finished the core of my next 40k Imperial Fist derived chapter - this is basically the Prospero box set painted in yellow including the Custodes, Tartaros terminators and Sisters.
