From MartinC Bob Gnarly and the Bambi Wood Elf Stripper (190pts)

 Hope the title has sparked your curiosity.  But first the undercard.


Bavarian artillery, 2 6lb and a 12lb gun.

These are mainly Perry figs with a couple of kitbashed figs as I had a spare gun already. Perry ACW plastic gun set was helpful here.
And I've had a new cutting mat

Next up a Warlord M20 scout car. Really need a gunner but the one with the set was a bit rubbish

Still no stripper yet.

The Bloodbowl mania continues, we have started a league to see how that works.

Couple of lizardmen players, they could be star players or the start of a lizardman team, I have figures i could use.

Next up is the Khorne team. These guys get extra experience for causing injuries, to keep the blood god assuaged 



Marauders, the backbone of the team. All have frenzy


The Blood Spawn, big guy, big hitter, also with frenzy

Khorngor. Beastman blitzers, no frenzy!

Blood Seekers, tough, strong and with frenzy. Basically this team is mad.

We have recently spotted that some of these resin teams come with star players

The Khorne team comes with Lord Borak the Despoiler. A massive guy but very expensive to field.

Finally the main event. I present Bob Gnarly.
*
The Khorne team comes with this player, can't find him in the star player list, any guidance would help. He is a great figure on roller blades. So he is being fielded as an experienced marauder with +1 speed



I have a wood elf team made from repurposed resin wood elves. The figures are all in ballet dance poses, odd enough, but I needed an extra player and finding suitable figures in dancing attire and poses is hard. So I present Bambi the wood elf stripper

As you can see, she is definitely a stipper, her main armour is boob tape

The pose is very dynamic and I really like it. Would be better with bigger pants, although there was a nude option, and I dread to think.

Scores on the doors
1x28mm vehicle 20pts
3x28mm cannon with crew 75pts
19x28mm bloodbowl figures 95pts


There are times is I wonder if I really want to pick up that From:MartinC rock to see what scuttles out.  Not this week however, that title had me hooked.  A typical all over the place post Martin with lot's to enjoy, or make you avert your eyes.   Fine stuff all around but I think my favourite is Bon Gnarly.  He's going to have a challenge with those rollerblades on a field however, he should have limited mobility unless he's on a floor or paved surface.  I concur with your tally.

 




John B: Tuesday Terrors: King Stephen - A Partizan Freebie (5pts)

Ok so this week just a filler piece and its "squirrellite" at under 25 points so I missed that - oops.
Anyway in keeping with my own challenge to clear some of my mountain, I have painted this freebie from a Partizan Show. Only trouble is its someone elses mountain clearout so I haven't really reduced my lead pile.
Its a funny old world.
King Stephen and Queen Matilda were at the sharp end of the "Anarchy" a period in English history when the Norman conquest was over but succession was not a straighforward thing especially with so many factions having the need to control both England and Normandy not to mention growing external threats like France.
I opted to paint Stephen with Citadel Contrast Colours with Warp Lightning green, Baal red and Tallassar Blue the key colours. Stephens hair is Vallejo Game Colour Bone white with Citadel Seraphim Sepia wash while the crown is Vallejo Game Colour polished gold over citadel iyandi darksun. Fleshtone is Vallejo flat flesh with seraphim sepia over wash.
Matilda (again a partizan freebie) was a previous years AHPC entry but joins him for a final shot.
Total points = 1 x 28mm figure = 5 points.

Great work on this partizan freebie John, nice vibrant colours befitted of a King.  I am nowhere near organized to keep a list of my colours used on any particular figure.  He looks great up against Matilda too.  Great potential for gaming in the Anarchy, also great background reading in the Brother Cadfael mysteries.

That's 5 points and a tiny bit of a squirrel.

 

From BrianC: Undead, Zombicide Black Plague, Next Level Miniatures, Beyond The Gates of Antares and more (135pts)

 Ok. Here we go again. Not too much. Work and life stuff going on. BUT, I'm hoping for a big point dump soon. Let's get to it!

We begin with some nasty ghouls/zombies from Mantic Kings of War Undead Army:





There will be more of these uglies in the future...


We have some Sci-Fi 3D printed Alien "city folk"










I'm not too sure if this mini is from Mortal Gods game or an Old Glory Miniature. Looks like a Roman Slave boss or gladiator trainer?







Some Zombicide Black Plague miniatures. First we have Falstaff, inspired by Bram Stoker's Dracula movie...










Next is, Lady Faye, inspired by Kristen Stewart(Bella of Twilight movie)?







Hey! It's Redcap Rodney from Zombicide Black Plague, too!









I have a couple North Star Miniatures from Frostgrave Wizards II










A couple "kitbash" North Star Miniatures from Oathmark Human Light Infantry set. I used some of the wizard arms to convert them into wizards for my Four Against Darkness Solo RPG.










I have some Next Level Miniatures, cleric, warrior and a thug.


















Lastly, some drones from Beyond The Gates of Antares. Concord drones










Ok. That's it for this turn-in. To the points!


28mm x 27 = 135pts.

A great variety pack here Brian.  Lots to love, but I like those kit bashed wizards the best.  Those conversions worked very nicely.  I want to make sure I've counted everything correctly, so here's my head count.

  • 8 ghouls
  • 3 Aliens
  • 1 Roman slave boss
  • 3 Zombicide figures
  • 2 Frostgrav wizards
  • 2 Kit-bashed wizards
  • 3 Next level figures
  • 5 drones which I will counts as 28mm figures because I don't know else else to count hem as.
  • Total 27 minis














Tuesday Night Open Mike

 



This week the open mike night will feature the following acts:

  • BrianC starts us off with funeral dirges 
  • JohnB follows with a Medieval Madrigal
  • MartinC will get his hair dreadlocked to sing some Reggae
  • Dallas will then wake us all up with some chaotic heavy metal
  • Sylvain the Half-Orc then completes his German song cycle. 
This week I promised some music that was at least from this century.  Here's a clip of Canadian singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards playing live outdoors on what apparently is a bad hair day.  I love the guitar work on this.  Kathleen starts it off with some big acoustic rhythm work and then her bandmate kicks in some searing riffs on that lovely looking red hollow-body (looks to be a Gretsch).  I've no idea what going on with her and her bandmates' arms.
