[Warfork Fantasy Battles]¶
Nadir Steppe Riders¶

On their northern border, the Nadir are in contact with country inhabited by babarian clans. Clashes and raids are common. Sometimes, depleated babarian clans are defeated and absorbed into a Nadir tribe, continuing their lives as thralls to the Nadir.

This small group of babarian thralls is used as a flanking/scouting detachment by Nogsta of the Pony Shoe Tribe. It is lead by Thros Split Skull. Thros received a heavy head injury while his clan tried to fight off the Nadir. His forehead was split open by a heavy club, but miraculously he survived - only the wound would not heal, the broken up bones would not mend. He was left with a swollen head, a vulnerable forehead and a constant bad mood resulting from heavy head aches. To protect himself, he had a metal spike nailed into his sound skull parts, on the one hand covering the open wound, on the other giving him a nifty advantage in battles when dealing head butts. Still, from below the spike blood and brain liquids are oozing, further darkening his mood...

I ordered one more babarian rider from Black Tree (together with some more models for the next units of the Ally Contingent). This was the first time I had any trouble ordering from them (the order took 3 months, and I am still waiting for the last three models), but their customer service made up for it, compensating me with a unit worth of halberdiers.

The rider came with another type of shield than the original models, so I instant moulded one the old ones. The head and weapon I took from my bits box (GW plastics).

Nadir Steppe Riders¶

The second rider is done. I again only used browns, but I think I managed to make him look different enough to the first one for them not to look identically brown.

Nadir Steppe Riders¶

The last three Nadir riders are painted.

I then added static grass to all the bases and took a final group shot.

Now I have the 4 Black Tree babarians left. Originally I wanted to inlcude them in the above unit, but after all they are too different size wise and in the style of sculpting. I ordered one more of them, and will form them into a separate 5 man unit.

Nadir Steppe Riders¶

I started to batch paint the riders, but their clothing and equippment is too un-uniform, so I gave up on that approach and continued to paint single models. The first two are done:

[Saga]¶
Battle Boards¶

I resisted long, but finally the Saga bug bit me. It also did not help to having watched the TV series Vikings recently...

First thing I did was scan the battle boards (should ever harm come to them), then thought of a way to protect the card boards. I am sure they would after only a few games be torn, flexed, warped... I decided to glue them to 3mm MDF, then apply a self-adhesive clear sheet on top. This should stop all damage (including liquids) to them, and they could even be used as a makeshift miniature tray between games.

For the optics, I painted the white cardboard sides with a black felt pen, the boards' sides with black acrylic paint.

When applying the clear sheet, I removed the backing except one stripe on one small side. This straight cut I used to align the sheet on the edge of the board, before gently rolling it onto the rest of the board from this point. With nearly all boards, this procedure created no air bubbles.

The rest of the sheet was wrapped around and attached to the underside of the board, thus also sealing the edges. To the bottom I then glued self-adhesive felt pads.

First couple of boards done.

[Terrain]¶
Modular Fence System¶

I did the first test section. I basecoated the fence in

• AK783 Weathered Wood

I then added some moss by drybrushing lighty from underneath and around the posts where they meet the ground with

• 70.968 Flat Green

The wood was then brushed from above with

• AK787 Medium Grey
• AK785 Middle Grey
• AK784 Light Grey

I like the result and think I will go with that as the base colour, especially the half posts where the sections connect. I will vary the colour on the sections, like freshly replaced beams etc, adding washes here and there, but I think this will be the main colour scheme.
