Celtos Sirens

This group of scantily clad bow wielding Sirens will get used in several games. I initially painted them for Dragon Rampant, but they could just as easily be used as Henchmen (Henchgirls?) in Frostgrave. Of course it could be said that their attire is not suitable for the snowy landscapes of the Frostgrave world.

Ramshackle Voles

The latest addition to the Prussian Scrunt army are three Ramshackle Voles, or Wuhlmaus as I prefer to call them in the Prussian force. These are light tanks and come in at fewer points than the heavier Pugs and Stugs.

All have interchangeable weapons, the second option being some sort of Dalek looking steampunky gun, which I will have to get a picture of sometime.

100 Years Of Tanks

What a difference 100 years makes, 1916 to 2016.

Custom Props

When I was hunting around for plasticard for the Aircraft Carrier project, I found some clear plastic rotor blades designed for small scale helicopters at Hurlbat in Letchworth.

With a sightly larger hole in the middle, these would look pretty good on my steam planes.

After a couple of emails to the gang at Hurlbat, they accommodated and knocked off six custom rotor blades, at no extra cost, and they arrived in the post the following day. Excellent friendly service.

Carrier Access

I have been busy painting various models, so the BIG aircraft carrier project has been a bit slow in getting started. But I did decide to save some time and not have a moving lift. And then I thought I would give myself another headache and have a large loading bay on the side of the side, this will be especially useful in games where is is docked.

The removal of the lift was the easy bit, luckily it is very lightweight plastic so I was able to hacksaw it off in mere seconds.

Using some bits of plastic and a few paperclip pins, I glued the ramp into the deck, job done.

So below decks, I hacked out the side with a view to making a large loading ramp into a bay.

There is already a loading ramp at the stern as well, so there will be plenty of internal detail eventually.

I must make some time each week to drive this forwards.

Treeman

Another old model for my Dragon Rampant Treefolk army is this lump of heavy metal from I can’t remember when.
He paints up really well. When painting the back of his legs, I noticed there is a heart with an arrow through it carved into the bark, a nice touch.

I used a few different shades of brown and plenty of greens otherwise he wood (!) have been a pretty boring model to paint.

The Dryad unit and the Treeman are the first units finished for the Dragon Rampant Treefolk warband. I’m busy working on some Celtos Sirens at the moment. There are a few other models to paint, but the Dryads and the Sirens will be the bulk of the force,

Meridian Militia

The last of the Meridian Miniatures militia are the riflemen, enough to make a couple of five man units if I throw in a specialist as well.

Really?

I’m just going to stop counting…

Dryads

I have had a home made fantasy army list for No Quarter knocking around for many years. I had bought some Dryads, a couple of large treemen and some Celtos Sirens to use as the core of a treefolk army. But with so many projects on the go in all sorts of games, these found their way shuffled to the back of the Loft Full Of Lead.

With the release of Dragon Rampant from Osprey Publishing, I was thinking of all the old fantasy figures lurking in the Loft Full Of Lead and remembered I had an unpainted army up there that would be perfect.

To get to the twelve Dryad models ideally required in a unit, I found a single old style Dyrad on eBay to complete them.

These actually took longer to paint than I thought they would, I wanted more than just a wood brown finish.

I may add some foliage here and there and I actually have some static grass now that I can add to the bases.

As a unit, they look quite cool.

I have had these models on round bases for many years waiting to be painted, funny how Warhammer Fantasy Battle is now all on round bases.

Meridian Commsmith

I like this model, with his oversized mobile phone power pack.
