From Paul O'G: Last War Barbed Wire Beasts (15 points)

My opening entry for Season XIII is also my first salvo for a small side project. Last War is a small indy produced skirmish level game with a Weird/Horror WW1 theme, with the premise that the War goes on, never ending, with only death awaiting all...

On that cheery note - Merry Christmas!

What really got me was some wonderful digital sculpts by another small indy company called Knucklebones Miniatures (whom you can find on Facebook, Patreon, and MyMiniFactory).  I just couldn't unsee them, and so (with Reilly's technomage assistance at our 3d printer), here we are. 

Pics thematically taken in front of the Rulebook Cover

While my first Section of Trenchers is under construction, here are the first of their battlefield antagonists - barbed wire beasts. The "Spandau ballet" undead kept in agonising pain by the cursed barbed wire that is now enmeshed in their bodies as they hunt the living across No Man's Land...  

I sculpted the bases to represent the eternally muddy and moist Western Front 

Great to be back and always good to get onto the scoreboard before Christmas - hope you all have a great one!

Haha! This is hilarious, as I have the same three minis on ramp to get done for the exact same set of rules. Burned! Well done, Paul. These ghouls look absolutely fabulous, especially with the wire wrapped around them. Chilling.

    1. Apart from the fun and unique factor, I do find it rather a nice break from historicals and trying to replicate uniforms and paint schemes. Allows for a bit more creativity I think
