Hoi,
Time and inspiration are seriously lacking this Challenge for me, but yet I managed to finish two little pieces to keep going. First up is an Empire Hellblaster volleygun for The Old World.
This is a great model and I had so much fun painting it for my Middenheim army, with the blue carriage and all the accessoires on the base.
Last is an unitfiller for my Bretonnian army, I think it's a resin 3d print from Highland miniatures. I have desert-themed it for the Araby Crusade part of my force.
I have no idea how to classify the unit filler so am not counting it for points so just the crewed weapon for me today.
Cheers Sander
Sander, I'm loving the throwbacks to Warhammer Fantasy Battle here! I have some triggering memories of playing against GregB's Empire army and its Helblaster (eek), man that thing was a deadly piece of ordnance. Yours looks fantastic in Middenheim colours, I pity the enemy who faces that thing. As far as the Bretonnian unit filler... it looks to me like about as much work as an infantry model, so I'm awarding five points.
That's 10 for the Helblaster, five each for the crew and five for the filler base, total 30 points.

Great to see more stuff from you Sander!
ReplyDeleteCheers Greg, not as good as your stuff, but it's better than nothing.
DeleteLove that piece Sander. This is one of the few GW kits I've modelled, using the great cannon for my Italian Wars armies. Also love the wrecked wagon.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you master Douglas!
DeleteEven though you're struggling to find your mojo you've still done a superb job on this iconic piece of Empire ordinance. I also really like the wrecked wagon as unit-filler. Highland Miniatures has become such a great resource for several periods/genres.
ReplyDeleteMuch obliged Curt, yes I really like the unit filler too!
DeleteTwo very nice pieces, I like the animation of the gun crew, the gun is such an eyecatcher, that the crew could easily become ‘invisible’, but the guy carrying the shot is the perfect link between crew and gun -
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm, the poses of the crew really are not the ones that are actually physically interacting with the weapon, I have several other guns and crew where this is different so yes the guy loading the weapon is indeed the most dynamic in this regard.
DeleteThat's a mighty looking gun, Sander.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray, it is!
DeleteMemories Sander. Great models. I've the old HB gun. Will put the fear into your opponent's.
ReplyDeleteoh that's a great old model as well, the old ones have such great charm.
Delete@Dallas: thanks heaps for your kind considerations indeed!
ReplyDeleteThis is great work. We all have times we can't produce for whatever reason. It will pass. Fantastic work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support Tim!
DeleteFantastic painting on the Hellbalster. That thing was a true beast on the table when it fired!
ReplyDeleteCheers! Yes it still can be in the new version of the game.
DeleteLove the old Empire models - great work
ReplyDeleteYes they are great indeed!
DeleteThat's great Sander, the Empire range is so fantastic I wish it would magically reappear
ReplyDeletePart of the range was available again but not everything
DeleteVery cool; I like the ammunition holders.
