Fred's 2013 Painting Diary

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

All look good! 

[Nosher]

Agree with Nik. Suitably gribbly

[fred.]

Well we were all in agreement!





12 stands of Salamanders to add to my existing forest folk to make up the core of a Forces of Nature army for KoW.

[fred.]

The Forces of Nature.
There are a bunch of Pendraken figures in the Forest Shamblers and Sylvan Kin. The Sylphs are 6mm from Microworld.

Some Centaurs and Gnomes from Pendraken will help fill out the ranks.

But, I am struggling to find some Air Elemental models - only need 4-6 models.

If there aren't any in the pendraken cataloh, check these out:

It's big at 55mm tall though.

You also have smaller ones, but seems they come mixed in packs so you don't get to choose wich ones you get:

Great job on the lizards by the way !

[Techno]

Excellent Fred !!
Cheers - Phil.

Peter - I had seen those before - and they look a bit rubbish. I do have some WM Elven wizards who are on an air spiral - I am wondering about using these as the base for an elemental.

Phil - cheers!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Nicely done!

[Ithoriel]

Various packs of elementals, 2 per pack for £3.00. Nominally 15mm scale but might be useful:

Thank you. I hadn't seen those before - they may fit the bill rather nicely.

It shouldn't be - but I really don't know what to do....   
Maybe Techno could knock some out of some spare putty one afternoon?

After you have done that Phil...A complete Byzantine Army by Tuesday week would be cool

[fred.]

With a quote from work "How hard can it be?" 

Usually delivered by a Salesperson requesting some massively complex change to our IT systems.

I'll ask Leon to send me an appropriately sized model, so I know what size to make it.....
Cheers - Phil.

[fred.]

Cool.
But I have ordered some of the MM ones, as I am trying to get this army together soon.

[fred.]

My Forces of Nature army for Kings of War, has finally come together, and even got a game last night

This has proved a very cheap army to assemble - only about £20 spent on new figures for it - the rest I already had sitting in my lead pile



Figures are from a right mix of manufacturers, the main pendraken units are shown below


Salamanders - using Lizardmen


Fire Elementals - the smaller ones are Pendraken, the large ones Kallistra


Water Elementals - the smaller ones are Pendraken, the large ones Kallistra


Druids - a couple of Pendraken figures, and the Unicorn is a conversion of a Pendraken Pegasus

Very nice indeed sir

[petercooman]

Ace job!

[fred.]

I have been doing some painting in the last couple of months - but quite a bit of GW warmaster.

But here are some Pendraken



Ottoman mortars, cannons and siege guns, all to add to my Araby army to give them some heavy fire power
