Outlaws! Cultists! Bad Guys All Around!

OK, so I finished up another set of bad guys for my Five Leagues In Glorantha solo skirmish campaign. While there are many separate encounters to be had, they can all break down into groups of nine or less guys, with not more than three archers. So, whenever I work on a new set of models for encounter purposes, that is exactly what I build: nine melee guys and three archers within that particular theme. This time around, I wanted a group that could do double duty as either Outlaws or Cultists.

They are built from the old plastic Persians from Wargames Factory, with alternate Pict shields from Black Tree Design that I had leftover from some other projects. Here they are, cheerfully finished.

The Great Las Vegas Wargamers Mouse Challenge

Image
Ok, so the Las Vegas Wargamers group on FaceBook had a modelling challenge for June: create something for wargaming out of an old computer mouse. Originally the brief was "tank" but it was pointed out that a lot of different things could be done with a mouse for wargaming. And so it began. In the end only three of us finished up by the June 30 deadline, so I thought I'd share what was presented. To start, Daniel Liswood created a Victorian Science Fiction sky chariot. I thought this was wonderfully creative. Sadly, he only gave us one picture: Next up, Steve Massey gave us a wonderful Waaa-Buggy to add to his ever growing Space Ork horde from the Warhamster 40,000 universe (I say "universe" instead of "game" because I'm not sure what he plays with these things!) And finally, my submission: the M-69F Mouse scout tank. I took quite a few pictures showing it in a variety of different environments.

Burial Urnfield Scenery

In my ongoing quest to get some appropriate scenery for my Five Leagues In Glorantha skirmish gaming, I asked some people on a FaceBook group about what an Orlanthi graveyard would look like in Heortland (Orlanthi being the culture and Heortland being the geographical location.) It was suggested that they used burial pits to put urns of cremated remains of the deceased within. Also, there might be some roofing over the, but no walls. So I looked for some circular brickwork pattern images online to created the perimeter of the burial pits, and used some existing mediterranean tile roof imagery to create the shelter over them. Overall I am very happy with the way they turned out. When I shared them with the FaceBook group that I had asked the questions, the responses were universally positive as well.
