Greetings Terrans, how goes it? I’ve been really under the pump these last weeks & so I don’t have much hobby to show, but I did manage to achieve 2 things:
1: I finished my Ghost Archipelago warband – just about a year after starting the bugger! You can remind yourselves of the inspiration behind the warband here (go on, I’ll wait…)
2: I’ve booked flights to Dublin at the end of the month for the event itself – frickin’ awesome! It’ll be my first flight since late 2019, so I hope I can remember how it all works :-)
Anyway, let’s take a look at the latest warband members shall we?

From left to right we have a Pearl Diver, a Tomb Robber, a Herbalist, and a Warhound.

I also wanted to add some range to my warband, (anyone who has played Frostgrave or GA knows how deadly combat is, so being able to stand off & shoot is a smart move!):

Here’s the whole group together – a motley crew to pick from and no mistake!!

I have one final model to show – I’m hugely grateful and touched that Azazel sent this amazing Coral Golem to me all the way over from Australia… just because I liked it so much!

What a superb and generous human bean Azazel is – thanks a million mate! I certainly didn’t want to mess with this paint job, but I did a few touch-ups here and there, and re-did the base to tie it in with the rest of the warband. I’ll be sure to share pics of this marvellous creature wrecking shit up in the Ghost Archipelago in Dublin in a few weeks :-)
That’s all folks, catch you from the Emerald Isles!
Great finish to the warband Alex, and such an eclectic mix of models used, but look great together, and excellent gift from Azazel, that works well with the rest of the warband.
Hope you have a great time in the Emerald isle, just be prepared to take longer checking in and getting through customs at the moment.
Cheers mate, I had a good rummage in the lead pile for this scurvy crew! Good shout on the customs thing – Iโm thinking 3 hours each wayโฆI just hope my minis survive the baggage handlers! ๐ณ
Excellent minis! :-) Nice to see the whole band and that Coral Golem is really nice!
Cheers mate, and isnโt the Golem just the best?? I love it ๐
Fantastic painting and sculpts, and the Coral Golem fits right in!
Thanks Matt, not my best painting, but they certainly pass muster for the cut & thrust of the gaming table ๐๐
Some cracking looking figures in there Alex and we’ll played Azazel! Have a great trip to Dublin mate and enjoy a Guiness or two for me. I reckon you’ll have an awesome trip. ๐
Cheers matey, and deffo 10 internet points to Azazel!!!
Oh, wow, what a warband! I really like them all, they look glorious in their colours. Well done!
Cheers Suber, they are a bit of a riot all together arenโt they! Hopefully they read more as โpirateโ rather than โchaosโ ๐ค๐
Maaaate, a force to be reckoned with for sure. All the best for Dublin
Cheers dude, Iโm stoked ๐
Such a cool warband, looking forward to seeing them in the metal and you in the flesh! Happy to have my pirate ladies chew them up :D
Cheers dude & likewise! I hope they do mate, my poor misshapen creatures probably deserve it!
See, first you claim to have been really busy and then you have all this amazing stuff to show! How do you manage it dude?! Cracking warband mate, I was vaguely wondering what had become of them so itโs great to see them done at last. Nice one to Azazel as well for being a top bloke, that coral golem really is a thing of beauty. Have a great time in Dublin!
Cheers dude, I had them mostly painted for ages to be honest, just a final bit of fettling and the bases needed to finish the job. Az is indeed a top bloke – too generous by half!
Lovely work all round mate you and Azazal both!
Cheers Roger.
Cheers Roger ๐ค๐

They look absolutely wonderful, and I especially love the way you’ve mixed in some more esoteric sculpts here. That spider grave robber is just bonkers. And of course your painting is top notch as usual.
Cheers dude, the basing makes them look better than they actually are ๐
Haha aewsome stuff here Alex – and certainly a model warband as a model for racial harmony with such a diverse cast of characters. I might add, that you’ve certainly improved on the Golem – both with the basing as well as the little skully flourishes! :D
Cheers dude, and not at all – itโs such a lovely paint job as is!!
