Dindrenzi - Battle for Valhalle set

Finished painting my first ships for the Dindrenzi fleet. Those models are from the Battle for Valhalla starter set:

The Dindrenzi Battleship is a beast, it's huge and beautiful. One of the best spaceship designs in sci-fi ever, if you ask me.

Painted Deadzone Rebs

Last week, I painted my Rebels for Deadzone. Cool minis, nice looking faction, with a handful of different races.

Those guys saw action last saturday, when my friend Rodrigo played them against my Plague faction. Contrary to popular belief, not all models are smashed flat on their debuting game. These guys won a solid victory!

New terrain for our gaming club

Since I'm starting to play hsitorical games, I decided to come up with more terrain for this genre, particularly landscape. This one here I made as the perfect spot for artillery.

SAM_6802

This was made with a styrofoam structure, modeled here and there with some putty and based on thick cardstock. I then added my texture of earth+water+glue and let it dry for a couple days. Next, I drybrushed and then added the flocking. It is amazingly easy to do, and the results are very realistic, as we can see here.

Even though I'll be building 1/72 (20mm) historical armies, this hill is also fit for 28mm, as we can see from the pics ahead. In fact, being multi scale is an advantage of landscape terrain in general.

And here is another piece of terrain I finished this week. A 28mm ruined building. A friend on our gaming club came up with the frame structure (printed a CAD file he made) and I added the base, floors and roof, as well as painted it up.

Last saturday I played my first game of Black Powder and it was real fun. I'm looking forward to play more Napoleonics, and can't wait for my first units to arrive from mail so I can begin assembling my own Grand Armée.

Mordian Army

I purchased this mordian army a while ago, but had been lacking the spirit to sit down and get them painted. I even considered selling them a few weeks back, but those are the models I like the most from GW Imperial Guard, so I thought "heck, if I stop being so lazy, I can finish them up in a week". So I finnaly brought myself to painting them.

It didn't take a week, though. It took almost 3 weeks actually, between painting them and making the river sections I showed on the previous post. But mission accomplished, they are done, ready to finally hit the battle board!

In total, there are 2 10-men units, 6 extra special weapons troopers, 3 heavy weapon teams and a Commander. Enough to field a couple different configurations on a small game.
