Rohan and WW2 stuff

In my typically eclectic (ADD?) fashion I have been working on different genres and scales for the past little while - here we have warriors of Rohan and a Mordor troll from the Pelennor Fields box set:

As well as some US tanks and Stug upper hulls for Tanks! and Flames of War

I originally did the Stugs with the earlier upper hull and painted them in panzer grey for Stalingrad era gaming, but I didn't glue the upper hull on so that I could swap it out with a later model upper hull done in dunkelgelb. Presto - convertable Stugs! Well the undercarriage will be grey but it's not that noticeable under the shurtzen.

Genestealer Cult Kill Team

I finally got around to painting my first Kill Team - the Genestealer Cultists from the box game. These are fantastic models with great character and lots of weapon options. I opted for a mix of shotguns and autoguns with the heavies loaded out with a grenade launcher, flamer, stubber and laser drill. I like these guys a lot - unfortunately they are not a full team (only 60 odd points) and are not terribly formidable for shooting or melee - so they will need to be reinforced by either a few pure strain Genestealers or maybe some Acolyte hybrids. Maybe for Christmas?

Army of the Dead

Working my way through the Pelennor Fields box - next we have the Army of the Dead:

Morannon Orcs and Afrika Korps reinforcements

I finished the Morannon Orcs that came in the Pelennor Fields box set, plus added some additional anti-aircraft and recon to my Flames of War Afrika Korps army.

Nightvault!

I succumbed to GW's competitive deck-building skirmish game Nightvault (aka Shadespire) which fun and challenging to play. That, and the models are superb! I picked up the starter and two add-on warbands which have worked their way across my paint table over the past couple of weeks.

Orks:

The Briar Queen and her chainrasps (ghosty undead types)

Magore's Fiends - Chaos Khorne warriors:

And Stormcast Eternals:

Fantasy stuff

I learned of a Kings of War tournament later this month in Edmonton so this inspired me to paint a box of Silverhelms I had kicking around for my Elf army. I'm looking forward to blooding these guys - love those GW High Elfs.

I also made a start on my new lot of LOTR stuff - Morannon Orcs and some Army of the Dead figs. I'm not sure I'm happy with the Dead - they seem too dark.

Afrika Korps support, modern Soviets and Harquebusiers

I've been remiss at updating my blog with completed stuff. Here we have some 15mm Flakwagens to help shield my tanks from Hurricane tank-busters:

A platoon of airmobile Soviet infantry with support weapons in 15mm for Team Yankee by PSC - these are good sculpts. In the background are a couple of scenic billboards produced by Battlefront. I have magnetized a variety of in period 1980s posters for them:

And a few Afrika Korp reinforcements, a couple more tanks from Zvezda and some prime movers for my 88s.

And finally, a unit of 28mm TYW Harquebusiers by Warlord who I will use a dragoons for my ECW armies.
