Backsides…

As a makeshift part 2 to yesterday's image heavy post of Lady Justice and her crew – and also in response to Andy's comment about pics of different angles – I have some more shots of the finished models… including the leaping Death Marshal's face!

There isn't much to see at the back of The Judge so his extra shot was from the side.

And finally …

As you can see the face is nothing to shout about – I didn't spend too much time on it due to the fact that you can only see it if you lie the model on its back!

Post 100: Lady Justice & Her Crew

I finally got my head down to some painting last week (in preparation for a game!) and whilst I didn't complete my crew I did break the back of it – for now.

As promised I've taken some pics of the completed models. I've stuck to the same brown recipe for the overcoats throughout for coherency. I also used the same denim mix for the two principle characters, whilst the Death Marshals get to wear black jeans.

Lady J's totem – The Scales of Justice – didn't get to wear jeans of any kind, ending up with rather grubby canvas pants.

As mentioned the crew got to travel up to Tunbridge Wells this last weekend and face off against Bull's Viktoria Outcasts. As you can see below the opposition had grown since our last game…

…but so had my Guild crew, with the addition of The Executioner! You wouldn't believe that I had put down approximately 20 watery thin layers of paint on his skin prior to the game, but the effect was so subtle you couldn't see it in normal daylight – back to the drawing board with that one.

Needless to say we had a couple of great games – Bull won the first game 6-0 without making a Strike of any kind and I got so frustrated with the lack of action I charged out in the final turn just to get a wound off Sword Vikki.

The second game involved me defending a Wagon (or rather a large Merc Warjack) on its journey to the centre of the board. There was never going to be a repeat of game one, with plenty of action and Lady J turning the game midway, only for Gun Vikki to destroy the Wagon with her final Action Point and deny me full points: 2-0 win for The Guild.

As you would expect, lots of movie magic moments during both games – not least the photo below. Post your captions in the comments section!

Next Post: A bit of an announcement…

OOP Forgeworld Cityfight Terrain

Last time I was back at my Mom's place I (re)discovered a box FULL of old Forgeworld resin terrain – must be almost 10 years old! I'd bought it around the time the first Cityfight rulebook came out with fantastic ideas of constructing an amazing 40k board. These photos are just a few.

However, having bought the terrain it sat in my flat for months/years before making the solemn exodus North that indicates you've fallen out of favour and are going to the great big storage space in the sky – my Mom's attic.

Needless to say everything is for sale on Ebay – auctions end in ten days time – to aid the "I have bills to pay" cause. I hasten to add there will be a plethora of activity on my Ebay page in the coming weeks as first the Iron Warriors and Beastmen Bezerkers, swiftly followed by the Blood Angels, all make their way… somewhere else!  Given the attention the Blood Angels have received on the blog I promise I will announce their departure in more detail nearer the time.

Here's the link to my ebay page!

Next time: Post number 100!…and photos of Lady Justice and her crew – including completed models!!
