Working on stuff

I've hardly been posting but I've definitely been playing around with various things.

I've almost got my full lot of Spartan Scenics Sci Fi terrain finished for Infinity. I say 'finished' because the aim is just to get it built. Then I will revisit and paint in future. 

 

We've been playing a bit of Star Wars Armada too, a kind of last hurrah before wave two hits and changes things radically. Also, with the RWC, the ten year old and I have been playing Dreadball every Sunday. The S4 human team has been renamed to The All Blacks and my Orkland Blooz to Les Bleus. In fact, the fun we've been having has led me to pick up another thing for us to play.... 

 

Frost grave by Osprey/Northstar. It's basically a Mordheim style low model count game with campaign progression. Key difference is only the Wizard levels up (the apprentice is linked to this) and all the hirelings have fixed stats, The rules look like they may need some tweaking so I might use some of these suggestions.  http://www.bad-karma.net/downloads/ . I've had the boxes of old sprues etc out. I was originally going to have C15th Perry guys with the Cardinal As my Wizard (and a Franciscan for his apprentice...) but I'm taken with my Vikings, now I look at them. So Radagast can have the Druid as his apprentice and they are shirtless in the snow because...Vikings

 

The ten year old will have Oni / Samurai led by a skull faced Necromancer. Some work to be done but I like the effect with the figs built. In the background we have the start of the ruins. I've started chopping up another foam kneeler. Some of you will remember that method from that farmhouse/walls I built. I should be able to knock out some stuff quickly. I've Also go a couple of Denizen miniatures Skeleton warriors (I've had these since I was ten, fittingly enough) and a giant rat from the same source. I'll add in two huge spiders and two Lotr ghosts to be the start of the wandering monster pool.

Should be fun and all it's really required was buying the rules. Well that and a lot of assembling of odds and ends and I'll have to break out the cheap snow effects. No doubt others can be persuaded to give it a go as we've all got some suitable figs, if not a whole tables worth of Fantasy ruins....
