Russian Art-House Mordheim

I have been a little busy with work and a social life (not involving wargames) lately.
Sadly, because of this, the hobby life has suffered a bit.
My creative juices are a flowin though after I saw this gem, Hard to be a God!

Three hours later and I'm still not sure what the story was about, but I didn't give a damn!
In the mean time, I'll just call it Russian Art House Mordheim.
Absolutely stunning visuals for Mordheim/Bruegelburg/Oldhammer fans out there!

Don't believe me?
Fine, here's some images...

...and that's just a taste of the visual feasts that await!

Amazing!

P.S. Don't watch it with the kids and be prepared for some gratuitous personal hygiene.

November 10th, 2013 VSF Game

Kitrok and I met for a game at Game Kastle in Santa Clara CA last night.
It had been a while since my Lead Adventure minis saw some action some I brought them along to game with.

My group, I couldn't help slipping in some mummies.I figured my Leader, the chap with the umbrella, was an Egyptian Mystic who could control the Undead. I also took two dogs the help sniff out Kitrok's Hidden troops and tie him up.

Robert's group. Sort of a hodgepodge. The lovely lady with the rifle was his Leader.

A view from my side of the board. Normally, I wouldn't have used the cars for this genre, but I forgot to bring more items of terrain along. I had left my walls in another box from Pacificon a few months ago.

A view from Kitrok's side of the table.

Early on in the game I was the first to engage one of Kitrok's Elite models.

I engaged one of Kitrok's Hero's and one of Kitrok's  Brawlers rushed to the Hero's aid.

Another view.

The mummy failed it's Fear Test after being wounded and ran off. Yes, the Mummy took a Fear test. We used the basic rules with basic archetypes. The mummies were all the "Beast" archetype. It would be nice to stat mummies up though.

A overhead view at the end of Turn 1. In a rush to collect Objective Markers, many of out troops overextended ourselves.

This chap of Kitrok's captured an Objective Marker (the crate), however; he drew a booby trap card that managed to wound him.

One of my mummies quickly finished him off.

This fellow chased after the mummy he had wounded and finished him off.

This chap started raining bullets down on Kitrok's men.After rolling an "out of ammo" result during Turn 1 that had forced him to reload.

The first of Kitrok's troops to fall to the portable Gatling gun. The fellow with the spear was also wounded.

So of my hounds finished him off.

Another one of my mummies falls to one of Kitrok's Elites.

The second kill from my portable Gatling gunner. This fellow had been Hidden, but he had spotted by one of my dogs.

The Gatling gunner then paused to admire his handiwork.

One of my dogs falls in close combat to pistol fire.

I swarmed this Kitrok's Elite with a heavy shield and took him out. We ended the game after this. It was a close fought battle me tied for Objectives but I won by one victory point for the most KO's

Finished Brigade Games Models

Well, at least I thought they were finished. After I took pictures of them, I saw a thing or two, here and there, that I'd like to touch up on a few of them. Small stuff so I will not rephotograph the changes.

Brigade Models Based

I hate basing. It's pretty tedious, but I'm always amazed how much better everything looks afterwards.
Nothing special here just sand, a few rocks, glue and paint.
I just need to do final touch ups and and add a little static grass.

Last of the Brigade Games WIPs

So it's the last of the Brigade Games WIPs.
I'm not particularly thrilled about how these two came out.
They still need a lot of work.

The whole lot.

WIPs various genres

I finally managed to get a little painting in this week. I started painting mini's from my Brigade games order. These all need a little touch up and final basing. I felt very rusty painting these.
