Hobby progress has been a bit slow lately with many distractions, but I have made some progress. To the left is one of the characters in my D&D campaign, Septimus Owlshade. Despite the big book he's holding the character is actually a Sorcerer, not a Wizard. Soon he will be facing his personal demon; his possessed brother. Reaper figure.
A couple of weeks ago I also got in a 40K game with Rob (from a prior batrep) and we got in an Ork vs. Ork rematch. I ran the same army, his was pretty similar but he tried out a Weirdboy and the Shokk Attack Gun. I was able to dance around him some with my extra mobility and the Kommandos did well, but the Meganobs got pulled down in a big scrum and Rob ended up winning on KP.
With a couple of painting sessions at John N's house I was able to make more progress on the Mogambians that will feature in upcoming sessions. The wizard/leader types are mostly ready for washes or stain, but the masked guys need more work, especially on the masks and shields. On ebay I also picked up a few other RAFM fantasy-African guys that can be turned into personalities.
The lady in the middle row on the left is a Reaper figure. |
The varied colors should help me keep them straight, though I'll probably number their bases too. When you have a ton of bad guys/NPCs in a fight keeping track of hit points and conditions is hard enough without everyone being painted the same!
i really must find some Pith Helmets !
ReplyDeleteWhat a pithy comment!
ReplyDeleteI imagine that the Mogambians could see some use in Sword & the Flame and similar period games.
