Greetings Terrans, I’m happy to report that a) I’m back in the saddle with Project Wolf Time, and b) the last squad of Scumbos is finished:
Nothing to say about these guys that hasn’t been said before really, although the banner bearer did give me the opportunity to try out my freehand on a Space Wolf freehand chapter badge… I’ll have enough of these to do soon enough! Also note the old school yellow helmet stripes – proper RT style ;-)
Here’s a group shot of the whole Scumbo collective – what a rabble :-)
That just leaves me with the power armoured Orks, and the characters to do… we’re on the home stretch!
I also had a visit with Mark @ Heresyofus over the weekend – a chance to drink tea, talk Salute, kick some ideas around for Mag Bellum, and chuck some dice around. Salute is going to be awesome & I can’t wait, but I’m really really excited about where Mark is going with Mag Bellum… Hopefully there will be some more news in that regard soon…
As for the game, we put our Mag Bellum sets together to make a really smart board, and went at it – Exodites vs. Black Shields & Inquisitorix:
My Scorpions managed to break through and destroy the Daemonic manifestation in the end, but really the day was won by the terrain, the models, and (of course) the dice gods!
Leadballoony - It's a lead thing 
First things first, great work on those skumbos, every single one of them is a disreputable little character.
Secondly, those photos of the game look excellent – very atmospheric; the combination of the terrain and the miniatures is fantastic.
Cheers dude – good to have the little buggers finished :-)
Glad you like the look of the game mate – there’s a lot of work gone into the terrain & minis, so it’s gratifying to have it look so good. Amazing how well Mark’s set & mine mesh!
Great looking figures Alex. Enjoy Salute, I’ve never been and was hoping to travel up for this years one but once again life and circumstances have thwarted my plans! For next year I’ve already started to say I’m not going in the hope that I will!
Cheers mate – shame you can’t make it to Salute, RL can be a pain sometimes! Look on the bright side though, you’ve saved yourself a ton of money (if you’re anything like me that is) :-)
Nice post and love your work here. They have a lot of character, and wonderful that they got on the tabletop!
Cheers Mark, glad you like ’em mate!
I didn’t use my Orks over the weekend, but the terrain does make for a great photo backdrop so it seemed silly not to use it while I had it to hand ;-)
Love the scumbos man they’re full of character. I’ve liked all that I’ve seen of the mag bellum system. Great photos mate
Cheers dude, I’m really chuffed with them – they’re proper nasty little sods I reckon :-)
Haha they certainly look nasty
Nice going with the Skumbos – I bet you’re glad to complete that batch.
Cheers dude, I am to be honest – itching to get the power armoured ones started!!
All very nice! Enjoy Salute (although it’s not quite here yet)!
Cheets mate – won’t be long ;-)
Excellent- the Scumbos are great- love the standard.
The board and game pics are a thing of beauty though.
Cheers,
Pete.
Aw, thanks mate – it’s what I strive for :-)
Nice work there mate. Scumbos are cool and hopefully I’ll get a chance to either play them or play against them some time. Glad you had a good time and your board looked the business. So well done! The dice gods were not with me though because you kept jinxing the dice! Ha ha ha, that was pretty funny though, I’ve never rolled that many double sixes when I didn’t want double sixes!…………….or two’s for that matter LOL!!
Cheers dude, thanks for the invite & glad you approve :-) Ideally, I would love to do a play through the whole campaign before BOYL, so would appreciate your help if you can spare the time!
Sorry about those rolls btw – I did seem to have some spooky power of dice calling, didn’t I? Weird!
I’d be more than happy to! We have lots to discuss as well. Don’t be sorry mate, it was a great laugh!
Love the green little buggers.
Lovely shot from you game with Mark.
Cheers dude, glad you like ‘em mate, and glad you like the game pics too! It certainly was a good looking game – that shot of the lone Black Shield sniper stalking through the ruins is my fave :-)
Fantastic work on the Ork squad, Alex! I just love that banner bearer — is the banner a stock part of the model, or did you convert it, I wonder? The old skool Space Wolves legion badge is a lovely touch!
Cheers dude :-) The banner & bearer are totally stock – actually one of the very few unconverted models in the whole 25!
Glad you like the legion badge too mate – I’ve got 60ish Wolves to paint after the Orks, so I figured I’d better get some practice in ;-)
Lovely as usual, I love all the pics :)
Cheers dude, and huge congrats on Suberling Secundus!! He looks gorgeous – I’m chuffed for you all :-)
Those old school orks look fantastic, mate! Especially when all laid out together like that. Your Mag Bellum game looks the business as well. 👍
Cheers dude, the Orks are all coming together nicely now – sooo close :-)
