I Am the Power

A close up of a mighty Khador Armored Knight.

Terror from Space

A force of invading alien terrors search for human victums. Armed with razor sharp claws to rend and tear as well as dagger like teeth make these fearful creatures indeed.
These are plastic Genestealer figures from the 40K line of Games Workshop.

Farm House after Artillery Bombardment

After the smoke has cleared a couple of US Marines have taken up look out positions in a smashed farm house.

This is another scratch built ruined building for 28mm figres. This one is a generic style farm house after being blasted by artillery. Note the shattered tree in front and shell hole on the side.

Imperial German Field Artillery, 1916

The Krupp Model 1896 77mm field piece was the mainstay of the Imperial German Armies for the first years of the Great War. It was an effective weapon with a maximum range in excess of 9200 meters. While not as good as the famous “French 75,” the 77mm was an important tool for the Imperial Army and did fearful destruction on the frontline formations of the enemies of Germany. This model and crew are from the Old Glory WWI range of figures.

Grand Army Third Corps Cavalry

Here we see the Cavalry Corp Commander General Wollwarth and Third Corps Commander Marshal Ney leading the cavalry as they head into Russia in 1812. This unit included the French 11th Hussars, 4th & 8th Chasseurs a Cheval and 6th Chevau-Legers-Lancers. Most of the rest of the corps cavalry was from Wurttemberg-3rd & 4th Mounted Jagers, 1st Chevaulegers and the Lieb-Chevaulegers. In support are two infantry units, the 24th Light Infantry Regiment, the 1st Wurttemberg Jagers and Horse Artillery. These are 15mm figures, mostly from the old Heritage line that I painted in 1978.

Constructing a Ruined Building Part Five-End Game

For the final piece a hasty barricade has been added in front of the wall. Final drybrushing, grass, details on rubble and pipes have been completed. Can you find two outside drain pipes, a table & door, two under floor drain pipes and the broken pipes from the wc; how many have water leaking from them? The materials used for this project included styrofoam, white glue, balsawood, plastic straws,wall plaster, and diorama grass. The paint was acrylic and the base was 1/8 inch masonite.
