That's a mess and a half!

I think it's safe to say the super glue won. You must use a better quality of super glue than me, I've generally been able to loosen them off most of the time, only in a few instances have I had the result you've had with a blob of MDF being left as the rest of the base pulls away in a wet mess.

yeah I use this industrial superglue I get for free at my work, great if you want to glue things super fast, not so great if you want to un-glue stuff.... =)

Took advantage of some light evening light to take some photos.

First up the Yurts (painted a while ago) along with a stand of Mongols

are they coming to attack or are they coming home?

Fenton

Nice work Fred...Will you be putting them on bases?

Actually I think they would work pretty well for Orcs and Goblins as well
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Ric

Those are cool, and as Fenton suggested they would be ideal for a Goblin village! Are they pendraken?

fred.

Ta chaps.

I wasn't thinking of basing them - but haven't really decide quite what I am doing with the civilians/villagers.

Yes I think they would work pretty well for Orcs or Goblins - with the odd totem or skull added.

Ric - yes they are Pendraken, they were part of the Mongol not-Kickstarter at the end of last year. I assume they are now on the website for general sale.

Total Battle Miniatures Village

Been busy with various terrain this weekend. Made significant progress with this TBM village (which my wife got me as a valentine's gift - how cool is that!)

Painted the base piece and flocked it. Also did a fair amount to the 3 buildings, which still need a bit of finishing off.

Both very very impressive  :-bd :-bd

I'd say the Mongols are coming home, based on the blue tie in  ;) The colours around the doors really bring the yurts to life

Some rivers

Finally (after 6 years or so!) got round to making some river sections using some textured clear plastic report covers



About 8' of straight sections. I have painted up 4 more sheets today to make some ponds and some curved sections.


Finished off a bridge (only had this a couple of years) - looks like I need a wider river section though.


And those Mongols again

They're certainly in the printed catalogue MON 18, 19 & 20.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.
