Bloodbowl - the Harsingers

 The Harsingers 

Finally completed my halfling team for Bloodbowl, I have decided to name them the “Harsingers “ the orange and cream uniform, the same as the flower. 

All of the figures are from Games Workshop except for one which is a 3D print the star player in gold and Swiss tunic. Really happy with the results as they are quite characters.

Judge Dredd - Walter the Robot

Walter the Robot

I have been looking for Walter the Robit for quite a long time. I recently picked him up with a Job lot of Warlord Dredd figures on eBay, paying almost as much in postage and import duties as the figures but still a bargain I thought.









Walter is the Mega City One's most famous servo droid, Walter the Wobot. This figure was produced by Warlord Games. Walter was once Judge Dredd's house robot. He is usually used in stories to provide comic relief, and he has a speech impediment which causes him to pronounce his R's as W's. (This was a defect caused by fear and stress.) He was originally a robo-servant at the Grand Hall of Justice, and was drafted by Judge Dredd during the First Robot War to help him infiltrate the robot stronghold. Unlike the majority of the robots, Walter believed robots should be diligent slaves for humans. It was Walter who landed the final blow on rebel leader Call-Me-Kenneth, being used to override the city's Weather Control computers and unleash a lightning storm, and he was made a free robot (the first ever) with the rights of a human citizen in 2099 for his loyal services. However he was so devoted to Dredd that he chose to remain in Dredd's employ and even got rid of his freedom papers in exchange for a Deed of Ownership giving him to Dredd. He eventually left Dredd's service after he sustained serious damage at the hands of Mean Machine Angel. This was an effort by the writers to kill him off when Judge Dredd stories were becoming grittier and more mature; in the same story, Dredd's landlady Maria was also written out.


He met Dredd again in 2115, helping him escape the forces of Judge Grice and wielding a vast amount of deadly weaponry, killing many ex-convict Judges in the process, but was ignored after he got Dredd to the safety of the other judges. The next year, Walter snapped over these two encounters and formed a cult around Call-Me-Kenneth, proclaiming he'd been wrong to betray him. He attempted to start a Second Robot War and actually shot Dredd to punish him for Dredd's harsh treatment of him over the years. He was arrested by Rookie Judge Giant and sentenced to thirty years.

However he was freed from jail during the actual Second Robot War in 2121. Reformed, he sought out Dredd and surrendered to him, asking to be reprogrammed so he could not commit crimes again. Instead, Dredd put him on probation and ordered him to work as a helper for the elderly Mrs Gunderson. Walter lives with Gunderson, helps run her Judge Death-based tourist attraction (and dealing with the Death actors who go insane playing the role), and attempts to keep her out of trouble (with great difficulty); he has made several reappearances alongside her.

Judge Dredd - Deadlands scavengers

 Deadlands Scavenger's 

A selection of the plastic Stargrave figures that I intend to use for a Judge Dredd scenario. I have two groups to do, this first group will be part of the scavenger gang on the edge of the Deadlands.

Judge Dredd- Mining Robot

Mining Robot 

 This figure is a Stargrave figure but it will join my Judge Dredd collection. I have been adding more robots to my collection. For this chap Unit 4 I have a scenario in mind around a mining site in the future. Quite a simple job but quite happy with the results, the Caterpillar yellow works well. 

Cheers

Judge Dredd - old Rogues

 Old Rogues

Another pair of robots for my Judge Dredd collection, again from the Northstar Stargrave range. These figures will join the deadlands part of the collection. Perfect for rogue or security robots, I painted one in an urban camouflage cape so they can inhabit the wasteland city’s of the deadlands.

Garde imperial Fusilier Chasseurs - WIP part 1

Garde Imperial Fusilier Chasseurs

I am planning additions to my late French army for the 1814 campaign, I have purchased three bags of the victrix imperial Garde packs in great coat, assembled them and have commenced painting this week.I have also purchased six boxes of Piano miniatures figures, so far two boxes assembled. 

I am tossing up if I should do snow on the bases or just leave them in campaign muddy wet conditions. Looking at the historic record we know that it was very cold in January and the first week of February with snow on the ground, it then warmed up after the 14th of February then cold again in March with light snow. 

I am planning to build orders of battle numbers for the battles 

Fusiliers-Grenadiers 2 battalions of 40 = 80 figures + 16 skirmishers 

Fusiliers-Chasseurs 2 battalions of 40 = 80 figures + 16 skirmishers 

Velites de Florence - 36 figures + 6 figures 

Velites de Turin - 36 figures + 6 figures 

Voltigeurs young guard 3 battalions of 40 figures = 120 figs, 32 skirmishers 

Plan to have the first battalion of fusilier Chasseurs completed this weekend. 

Cheers

UN vehicles

  I picked these two matchbox vehicles up recently and the last two weeks I have been undercoating vehicles and figures. I am back painting Congo units and some insurgents.  I thought I should paint these vehicles with my current batch of technicals and vehicles that are on the workbench. The decals were purchased some time ago for UN vehicles from . Quite Happy with the job

Cheers

Judge Dreed - Mek Troopers

 Mek Troopers 

I recently purchased the ABC warriors set to add a bit of flavour for my cursed lands games and to buy some robots that could be used in scenarios. The Volgan AK-47 troopers fit the option to be Mek troopers. Mek troopers are battle droids only mentioned in cursed earth and Slaughter Margin role playing game. Perhaps an abandoned research facility or nuclear bunker type scenario.

Judge Dredd - “Stop, it’s Hammerstein”

 Stop, It’s Hammerstein!  

When I purchased the ABC warriors set it came with several Mk1 Hammerstein figures, one of my resin figures had a broken leg and I thought I would build one standing and one sitting broken down. 

I then set about doing some cutting and sand with the Dremmel to get the figure to sit correctly for me. This figure will be a terrain piece for a rubbish pile or a scenario capture point.  The standing figure may make an appearance also in a game in the future 

Really happy with the paint job, both were painted in Vallejo German camo yellow than washed in Agrax earthshade, filled by sponge work for the rust effect, then pencil and paint chip work 

Cheers
