Our Witches Wish You a Wickedly Wonderful Halloween

                                             

As it nears Midnight, "the Witching Hour," our witches have gathered, Heks Valeska Skogridder, 
 Busty Bella Sensual
 Crone Baba Yaba
Steampunk Victoria Harley
Mistress Rosa Haxamastare
Water Master Ellia Sjøheks
and the most powerful of them all, Scarlet Witch, wish you a great all Hallows Eve Day of "Trick or Treating."


All are plastic, except for Bella Sensual and Victoria Harley who are metal pieces. I painted them all within the last 24 years.

Is it a Robot, an Alien or a Crazed AI

What is this strange creature/automaton/robot whose visage was captured last night by our graveyard shift reporter, Hyrim B. Knightwalker? Note the triple shot latte Hyrim lost while taking this shot, and no, he says he did not drop it while screaming like a little baby when this "Thing" surprised him in this dark alley. The internet rumor mill has been especially active with theories ranging from an alien warmachine to a very good cosplay Halloween costume.
He is actually "Warlock" a new lifeform from a far-off star and planet.
Warlock, fled his home world and has adopted Earth as his new planet of residence.
A fearless foe to those who threaten his new "self-friends," Warlock has earned his place among the hero's of the Marvel Universe.
Warlock is a plastic piece I finished today.

RUN, Here Come the Teutonic Knights

Smashing though a Polish village bringing terror and death is a troop of Teutonic Knights bent on conquest ...in God's Name of course.
Thinking of themselves as crusaders to bring the "True Faith" into the lands of Northeastern Europe, they had no qualms about the looting, violence and death they left in their wake.
Their job done; it is now time to conquer the next village..."Ride On!"
These are plastic pieces I painted in September.

Stone Troll a Hunting

When the rock troll Kongestein goes a hunting, he uses a hefty tree trunk to bring down his prey. 
Unlike his cousins the river trolls, Kongestein does not like to hide in wait for his prey (river trolls are famous for hiding under bridges to waylay farm animals and people alike).
No, Kongestein prefers a good long hunt that builds up his appetite. 
When he finds his prey, he likes the way his tree trunk "tenderizes" his fresh meat. Now, off on the hunt for lots of fresh blood and meat.
Kongestein is a large plastic piece from the Ragnarök game that I painted in September.

Have Supplies-Will Travel

 

As Napoleon once said "an army travels on its stomach."
Here we have some the supplies of an army ready to move out.
This style of cart could have been used by a variety of European forces for almost a thousand years of conflicts.
These specific pieces were designed for the Joan of Arc game by Monolith are roughly 15mm scale.
They and the house are plastic pieces...
that I painted this month.

World War Two Wargaming When Space is Limited

Short on space for a WWII armor battle, no problem, if you have access to some 1980's GHQ and/or CinC 1/285 scale pieces.
Here are five M24 Chaffee light tanks and five Soviet vehicles four with the dreaded Katyusha rockets on trucks and a support fuel truck. All in a space less then 100mm wide. 
The Chaffee's are GHQ the trucks are from CinC all are metal pieces.

Silver Strikes

One of the deadliest markswoman on Earth, Silver Sable (aka Silvija Sablinova) is a firm believer in the maxim-"One Shot, One Kill."
In addition to her shooting expertise, Silver Sable is a master of marital arts, hand-to -hand combat,
an expert gymnast, champion swordwoman and superior
strategist. Protected by a full body suit of Kevlar armor, Silver Sable is one of the greatest hunters of those of criminal/evil intent.
Silver is a plastic piece I painted this month.

Ammo is Now Your Number One Priority

In the midst of a vicious battle with the Zulu's, Leftenant Ambrose Amber-Smyth has only two words for Acting Assistant Commissary Adam B. Goodenraddy - "More Ammunition!"
Amber-Smyth realizes that the only way to stop the brave and mad rush of a Zulu charge is the stopping power of the .577/.450 Boxer round from his men's Martini-Henry Rifles, and lots of them. Which means his men need an uninterrupted supply of these deadly rifle rounds. 
So, they separate, Amber-Smyth to support his men and Goodenraddy to organize a steady supply of ammunition to the fighting line.
Amber-Smyth and Goodenraddy are metal pieces from Pul Figures that I painted in September.

Don't Mess With Da Bears

 

Mauling your opponents is fun when you are Da Bear.
Like today's victory, in London no less. Bears 35 Jags 16.
Go Bears!

I painted this metal piece back in 2011.
