6mm War of the Roses (3) - Camps & Commanders

My Wars of the Roses miniatures have had a rare venture out of there box recently as they have been standing in for a human fantasy army and as the Lords & Lands medieval lists have been released they have even been used as actual WotR armies.

As they are based for Impetus they lack individual commanders so I have had to make a few from the last of my spare minis, and whilst I was at it I decided to finish off one of the encampments I had made ages ago but never gotten round to painting.

All the Command stand minis are from Baccus:

The Encampment, minis from Leven, Baccus, Perfect6 and Irregular:

It felt good to reduce the amount of unpainted WotR stuff I have, I really must try to do a unit here an there to get them done.

6mm Fantasy Project (8) - (More Pocketquest heroes and some Bits n Bobs)

I have been busy of late with my latest sideline project(more on this in a later post), but in between that I have been trying to finish off a few smaller projects, one of which is my 6mm fantasy stuff, so here are my latest batch, just one more group of about 20 minis to do, but I ran out of putty for the bases:

Perfect 6, rats and spiders:

Baccus, Rapier & Baccus, heroes:

Baccus and H&R, heroes:

Baccus and Irregular, heroes:

Perfect 6, troll and orc:

Baccus, goblins:

Baccus, Elf command:

Perfect 6, pigs and farmer:

A few more heroes and villains including my rapier miniatures Medusa and Minotaurs and this project will be complete, well at least until I get hold of some more characterful minis.

6mm Fantasy Project (7) - Hero's & Monsters

I have been working through my small pile of spare 6mm fantasy minis finding uses for them and I didn't do too bad, managing to make some command bases for Lords & Lands Fantasy, plus some random monsters for the same game with the bonus that some may double for use in Pocketquest.

First up some random monsters:

 

And these will serve as Command types for Lords & Lands: 

 

And finally as I had more Orcs than I needed for Pocketquest, I decided to make a unit of mercenary Orcs for Lords & Lands(rules will be in the next issue of SSQ):

 

And for those of you who may not have seen, I have updated the PocketQuest page with a bunch of spare minis from Irregular, Microworld and Baccus who will act as extra heroes and villains, I wont repeat the pictures here, just pop over to that page which I will keep updating with my 6mm dungeoneering types rather than double posting here.

PocketQuest (II)

Well I am happy to announce that PocketQuest has now been officially released and can be purchased here.

I have and will be updating my PocketQuest page here (There is a link near the top right of this blogs front page).

Currently there are a few new rules and the start of an FAQ and I will be adding new content fairly regularly.

Normal service will resume on my blog shortly as I have been very busy painting a load of stuff which will fill a good few blog posts.

PocketQuest (I)

A friend and I have been working on a little project, a simple yet fun mini Dungeon Quest type game, in which you control a group of adventurers exploring(ie looting) a randomly determined dungeon. The game covers spells, fighting (obviously) exploring, magic items, traps etc and includes a campaign system so that you can stick with your little characters and watch them advance and become more powerful over time. Whilst written with 6mm mini's in mind, it will work fine with anything up to 20mm.

We have managed to rope in Richard at Perfect 6 mini's and Connor at The Miniature Architect to supply the figures and game boards respectively.

We still need to tweak the rules and to finalise a couple of little details such as having Leven miniatures cast up some dungeon furniture for inclusion in the box, but its almost ready to go into production, before we do though we are trying to gauge interest in this game, as that will effect the numbers on the initial run, so please take the time to look over the following pictures and let me know (by leaving a comment)if you would be interested in this sort of thing:
