I picked up some Frigian Ice Trolls from Battle Valor Games a while ago.  I finally got around to painting these up.  These are great looking models that were easy to paint.  I went with a blue paint scheme to fit the ice troll theme.

I will use these for a variety of games and a couple different armies.  My Frigians (Norse-type warriors) will ally with them for sure, but I can also use them in a beastmen army or they can just serve as monsters in other armies.

Painting Stone Walls from Mantic Games Terrain Crate

Terrain is an important aspect of any miniature game.  I have a reasonable collection of 28mm models and I'm always looking for things to add to my terrain collection.

Several months ago, Mantic Games had a kickstarter for several Terrain Crates.  Each option gave you terrain for a different table top theme.  I went in with a friend and we got 3 of the crates.

The first models from these crates to hit my paint table are these stone walls.  Linear terrain is great because is breaks up line of sight and movement without taking up a big footprint on the table.  It can also provide models a defensive location (maybe with some bonuses) depending on the scenario being played.

These models are well detailed (if a little bent) and will work for a variety of games.

6mm Fantasy - Painting Beastmen from Microworld Games

My demon army needs someone to fight against, so I'm also working on a Beastmen army.  These models are also from Microworld Games.  The level of detail on these models is pretty impressive.

I have managed to get a good amount painted so far, but have more to add to the collection in the future.  This will give me more options for army selection and allow me to field larger armies.


Faun Archers

Dire Boars

Command Stands (Generals, Heroes, and Shamans)

These models were fun to paint and turned out very nicely.  I look forward to getting these models to the table.

I've now got the core forces for 2 armies completed so I can actually play a game or two with them.  I hope to test out the Lord and Lands rules soon and will be sharing about that in a future post.  Stay tuned.

6mm Fantasy - Painting Demons from Microworld Games

I picked up some 6mm demons from Microworld Games's fantasy line.  I really like the models and I will be using these for games of Lord and Lands or Kings of War - Small Scale.

I've got a fair bit painted so far and thought I would share them with you all.

Blade Demons

Fire Demons

Cyclopean Demons

All of these models are very characterful and were pretty easy to paint up.  If you read this blog, you know I like simple paint jobs, but the model must work with a simple paint job.
