A dark night in Gothic City

I'm Batma<cough>...no not really but I do have a couple pics of my gothic city models to share including one of one of the new items I added for Astro (the gun turret from Daemonscape). Many of the buildings still need details painting - I just did the bare minimum to get things on the table!



Here's some shots of my Blood Pact fighting on this terrain (with a borrowed rather spiffy mat). I'm fighting my friend Darwin's IG, with his amazing Chocobo rough riders!

Orkington expands!

A few weeks ago now I was at Astronomi-con up here in Vancouver. It's a great tournament run by some very dedicated guys, and it's a lot of fun - it's the tournament for those that don't like the normal beat-face tournament atmosphere. Actually I say normal but around here in the lower mainland, most of our tournaments are pretty relaxed and are about having 3-6 good, fun, close games and not about beating the other guy so hard he cries!

Anyway, I offered to provide scenery for Astro, known for it's great looking tables and interesting scenarios and got asked to provide 2 tables worth of terrain, which on one hand was cool, but also meant lots more work! One of the tables was my quite drab Imperial city whilst the other was to be Orkington, and so I needed to bulk it out a bit. This was a good choice it seems, as I won best terrain for my Orky table!

The items I added were 2 new buildings, and a Windmill from www.daemonscape.co.uk/, and here they are:






I also completed some of the items shown in my Linear Obstacles blog post:



I have a few photos of the Imperial City, but I'll save those for another day!

Blood Pact Infantry

Just a few quick shots of the Pact's footsloggers. You have here 2 of the veteran squads, the Etogaur (Lord Commissar counts-as) and the 30 man blob-squad. Photos of the other veteran squad and platoon command squad were iffy so I didn't upload those.





And here's the army at 1500 pts..

More Blood Pact for the Blood god!


Here are some more Blood Pact pictures. OFCC has been and gone, but I'm still working on the bases which were just given a quick coat of sand before, but I want them all done by Astronomi-con next weekend. The Valkyrie is missing the weapons as these fell off during the tournament, and while these have been repaired this is not in my Astro army, so just one infantry platoon to complete (arms to paint plus the heavy weapons).
