More Chariot Progress

More progress on the chariots...

They are at a stage where I can game with them now. I need to add grass and flowers to the bases but will do that once I have finished the next unit off to do a big lot in one go.
I have also found a banner pole that came with the set which I need to paint up and attach to one of them.

These were nice and easy to paint and a fresh break from rank and file..

First Undead Chariot Done

Okay another post..

Not done as much painting as I should have recently. Work has kicked in again and this weekend I have managed to hurt my should limiting what I can do.

I have almost finished my first chariot though. Just need to finish up the basing and glue the chariot in place.

The driver is stuck in place and I filled in the slot for the passenger. the though is that the space at the back is big enough to just put a regular guy on a base there or swap him out for a character if I feel like it.
I have 2 more on the go of these. both have the same setup.

A Vampire, a book and some Knights of Law

Okay I am still about and painting.. A bit slower now though as I am doing an extra hour a day at work so not getting home until 7 and finished settling and eating by 8 :(

But I have been plodding along and painting a few bits. I even managed to get a small 300pt skirmish in of 3rd edition during the week.... No pics of the skirmish as the scenery needs work but I will be working on it so pics will be up son of battles.

Anyway what I have done recently.
3 of the Knights of Law box set are painted. I have decided to go for some of the old coloured metallic on some parts just for the hell of it.. These will be used as random warriors for all sorts of scenarios.
I have also done a night horror vampire and a random book on a pedestal I had laying about (not sure what to do with the base yet).

August Painting Challenge - Chaos Warband

Okay this one is going to be a bit of a rush..
I need to get these finished in time for the Oldhammer event taking place at Wargames Foundry (thank you) at the end of august beginning of September weekend.
My warband consists of
1 Chaos Champion
1 Undead version if he dies
2 Dwarves with crossbows
5 Dwarves
2 Ogres
10 Cultists disguised as the Knight of Law Preslotta Box Set ;)

So I have flash trimmed and glued to bases so far. Will be hopefully putting a mix of sand/slate/glue gloop on the bases today after this so they can dry overnight ready for undercoats and slapping of paint onto them..

Pics ahoy..

Rogue Trader Hardback Limited Edition

Okay I know a lot of you will be saying but the hardback copy was not limited edition just the earlier version out of the hardback and softback.

Well this one is.... Back when it was released a few copies were given out to those who helped make the game.
This one belonged to Graeme Davis before he donated it to a gaming group in Bristol many years ago. Even with living at a gaming group it managed to survive really well and still has all the pages intact with very minor wear and tear.
I found it on a commonly used auction site (yes that one). Going for a steal...

Anyway now it is safe with my rogue trader collection..
