6mm Fantasy Project (4) - More Scenery



Just a short post to show the handful of fantasy buildings I picked up from Leven Miniatures at Fiasco recently and my "Dead Marshes" project using a few spare Microworld miniatures skeletons my mate gave me:









This little side project started because I wanted some marshy/swampy area terrain, and having just been given a few 6mm skellies, I thought I would try and make a sort of "Dead Marshes" scenic piece, for the water I have used Dimensional Magic stolen from the bosses supplies, which gives a great still water effect, although I am still getting used to working with it and was disappointed to notice a few lines where it hadn't set as well as I had hoped. Apologies for the plethora of pictures some of which are not very good, but I wanted to show the water effect and the skeletons in the water so needed to take pics with and without the flash.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



Well that was an enjoyable distraction, now back to the Imperial Guard which I keep finding reasons not to paint.

Odds & Ends (9) - Fiasco 2015, a Castle and other odds and ends


I did a stint assisting my mate demo'ing his new game, Lords & Lands at Fiasco last weekend. I had never been to a show so early before and it was interesting to see behind the scenes so to speak, it also meant I could get my shopping done early and without having to queue. I managed to grab a few pics on my phone, so here they are:


















As ever Fiasco was a good show, plenty to see and buy and a friendly atmosphere.

The Lords and Lands Demos game:
 

 
 Microworlds Undead and Woodland Alliance

My blogging has gotten a little behind, so apologies to those few of you who keep an eye on it. My excuse is that I have been doing a lot of gaming and painting, speaking of which here are a few of the things I have been working on of late:

 


Leven Miniatures Castle Wall Set
 
 Some Adobe style buildings for my 6mm Old West Project

 Reinforcements have arrived for my Ork Speed Freeks army

 A bunch of Epic ruins that took all of 10 mins to paint 4ft's worth

 6mm Baccus Anglo Saxons & Vikings
 
 Somewhere to dock my Longships
 
 The Dead Marshes - a fantasy scenic project
 
 2 Merchantmen to add to my Trafalgar forces

The last of my Navwar ships
 

Leven's soon to be released Harbour set 
 
 Anglo Saxons and a bunch of Imperial Guard on my ever crowded painting desk
 
 
I'm currently finishing a few fantasy buildings, then its the Anglo-Saxons and back to the rest of my Imperial Guard.
