Spring Clean...

I was going through my camera deleting stuff and came across a whole file of pics of stuff I'd painted and games played that I realised I hadnt posted, so in no particular order:

First up - last year I started renovating my old 40k tanks- I had a bunch of Scratchbuilt and converted tanks, but they weren't very good and I decided to scrap the worst of them and do some work on the rest, but first I took a picture to record my various tanks, flying chimeras, Shermans Russ's and Mortar Carriers and the like.  As they are rebuilt I'll post them here...

A Rogue Trader from Knightmare miniatures.  I rather like this chap.

 A bunch of scifi civies from the old Metal Magic range, currently made by Moonraker Miniatures.  Got the rest painted around here somewhere and they populate my 40k and Necromunda tables.

 Picked this beastie up from Northstar during one of those nickstarters.  No idea what to do with him but I liked him.

 Legolas on a horse from the old Citadel LOTR range

 Some 1/43 scale armoured cars for my Cadian Imperial Guard. These are the collectable diecast models you see on the front of magazines occasionally and can be found cheap on ebay- I upgunned them to fit in with my 40k stuff.

 One of the first of the rebuilds mentioned above- This Vanquisher was originally scratch built by me about 13 years ago, and has finally had all the gaps in its armour filled up , and more detail.  I'm very happy with the result, especially as it was my first go with humbrol weathering powders.

 This tank is a new one, a gift to myself when I was feeling very ill!  Its a lasercut card kit, of a scifi'd WW1 mk4 tank. It was fun to build and looks great. If my ww1 British ever stray onto the battlefields of the 41st millennium this will be providing vital support!

 Had a growing pile of duff computer mice in the shed, finally decided to do something about it- Grav-Cars!  2 civie models and 1 police car, with lasguns and a missile launcher for laying down the law...theres some cops around here too...

As Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago has proved rather popular around here I felt some scenery was in order- Found this toy pirate ship and shark for about £7 and set to work turning them into something a bit more suitable for the tabletop!

 Rather pleased with how they both turned out- the shark was cut in half and the base decorated with silicone sealant to give that churning water effect!

 The ship was heavily modified with a new mast and bowsprit, companion way, and new decks fore and aft.

 Just in time for my first game!

 It didnt go well, with a lot of my guys struggling in the water, though my Heritor did his best to defeat all comers and escape with the treasure!

 Heres a bunch of critters for F:GA

 Erik Erikson and the crew of the Cutting Snark-  a motley collection of old Citadel tribesmen, vikings and barbarians. Theres 6 more on the painting table as I type.

 We've been playing a necromunda campaign recently- the Laserburn Boys gained a holestead early on and are here defending it against an incursion of corrupt police officers - the fuzz came off the worse in this fight!

 Another F:GA game against David, with the crew of the Cutting Snark using small boats to good effect to make off with a pile of treasure!

 We had another Frostgrave gaming day in January but I only managed to get two pics, both of Daves game V Chris, trying to find their way through the magical portals to the treasure room!

 This lot where actually finished quite a while ago but I hadn't taken a picture at the time- this is all my Dark Elf infantry- Just gotta get the cold one knights finished I suppose!

Another set that were done ages ago, My Rogue Trader Guard, though theyve had reinforcements since this pic was taken! May have to get the whole lot out again...

I took part in the F:GA nickstarter last year and here are some of the freebies and the treasure tokens that came with it. Also included are a very old beastman, and er, some sort of squidheaded chap who I picked up free from a box of unwanted figures but which I rather liked.

And some more renovated tanks!  My Cruisers were showing their age, but I still felt they had potential, so I smoothed off the rough edges, rebuilt the front glacis, hull gun position and main gun mantlet, and the side plating. Since this was taken all my tanks have had various icons and numbers added.
