Having finished the Bowmen, the Axemen are next. I started by basecoating them in Vallejo grey primer.

For the skin tone I took the easy approach, and used the Foundry North African Flesh paint set:

More Halberdiers¶

There is still an allowance of 30 more Halberdiers in the Oldworlder Ally Contingent. When I ordered the last time with Black Tree Design, the order took several months. The guy from customer support did a great job, was very friendly and helpful, and in the end asked for a couple of packs they would choose some from for an apology - I received all I mentioned. Very nice.

So these models will be painted up as Bretonnian Halberdiers. The command groups I ordered from Mirliton. The result will be two units of 15, which will together with the 20 An der Fähre Village Guard be the 50 allowed by Warhammer Armies.

Mythical Agyptian Axemen¶

Planning to do a lot of painting next week (I have the week off work), I prepared another pack of Foundry Miniatures.

[Terrain]¶
Modular Fence System¶

Just in time for the year end - done :-)

I covered all the green area thickly in grass. To stop the constant rain of blades of grass, I flooded the grass areas with wall paint primer. This hardens them and acts kind of like a glue that soaks into the greenery.

As a final step, I added some creepers to a couple of sections.

And here they are done, in their storage box, and a couple set up as an example.

[Warfork Fantasy Battles]¶
Knights of the Hawkbit¶

I do not like flat backsides of shields, except they are meant to be full metal shields. These look more like wooden shields to me, with some kind of front coverage. So I always ponder with these kind of shields whether to paint the backside in detailed way, after all, in the end you won't see it anyway when looking at the model. But I always end up doing it anyway, because I would know it...

So a light brown base coat, wood grain in two darker browns, and plank lines in a very dark brown later, the backsides of the shields are done.

[Terrain]¶
Modular Fence System¶

As the year draws to a close, I am a bit shocked concerning the number of open projects I have (like every year), and especially this one as it is 1.5 years old... time to finish it.

I painted the rest of the sections, the edge sections were the last to be done.

I then started to apply the grass. It will not be one sort all over, but at least one additional one to my standard base grass. The first I applied is Ziterdes 12133 Alpine Meadow. It has some darker green sand in it as well as light brown rocks.

Knights of the Hawkbit¶

The horses are done, at least for now. I am still unsure, whether to leave the metall as it is, giving them a very down-to-earth hands-on appearance, or to add some decorations in coat of arms colours, like a triangle or checker pattern on the lower arour rim. I definitely want to have a stark contrast between these Imperial Templars and the likes of Bretonnian Knights which wear only decoration and no (visible) armour...

What do you suggest?

Having done the horses, the riders were next. From both the shields and the tunics, I cut away the hearts. On the shields I modelled on hawkbit petals. Finally I mounted the models on paper clips for handling while painting.

[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
Mythical Agyptian Bowmen¶

I do not have enough open projects yet, so following our first games of Song of Blades and Heroes (game 1, game 2), we decided to play more games with this fun rulesystem.

As background, we decided for mythical ancients, so historical armies with living mummies, harpies, minotaurs, etc.

I choose Agyptians. The first models I started to work on are 8 bowmen. These are about 6-7 too many than I will need with the small scale warbands in SoFH, but Foundry only sells them in packs of 8.

After priming the models, I started with a brown basecoat on the bows. I then painted stripes in two different darker browns to break up the even surface and hint at wood grain.
