15mm Genestealers: Neophytes

I have been updating my 15mm Genestealer Cult by 3D-printing and painting over 25 new models. Here is the first batch of Neophytes, all coming from ImperitumArt. The STLs are great and with two builders I can do pretty much anything I might ever need. The last two pictures show how the prints mix with my old Rebel Minis Sahadeen and the GW Genestealer Familiars.

Hive Fleet Hydra has grown in numbers...

Since it seems that I didn't post anything for nearly a month, I wanted to come back with a big purple bang! I have added lots of models to my 15mm tyranid forces, mostly gaunts and warriors which I 3D-printed. I scaled up from 6mm or downsized from 28mm. The rest is from various sources like GW, Rebel Minis and Khurasan. I will try out Nordic Weasel's Bug Hunt rules or simpy use Grim Dark Future by OPR. One thing is sure - I'll have enough creepy crawlies. ;)

Number One Hundred and a Happy New Year!

Unbelievable. This is my 100th post since I started this blog in 2018. I am quite happy that I ran it for that long and that you guys kept being interested in it. In the beginning I wasn't sure if 15mm would really be the great solution that I had in mind. But yes, I still love the scale and I can count the 28mm dudes I painted since 2018 with the fingers of just one hand. I don't miss anything. 

For my 100th post I chose Chaos again. This time I'd like to show the Star Marauders and Zoni Warriors by Darkest Star Miniatures, which were a lot of fun to paint and make great chaotic Space Pirates and Cultists. For my 15mm games in the 40k universe I'm aiming for a more rogue-traderish setting that allows me to mix things like I want. The bigger dude is an old Knight Paladin from Epic 40k, but I think he makes a nice chainsaw-wielding Dreadnought type. The miniatures also mix well with Alternative Armies' Nox power armor warriors (from the Ion Age section).    

A big "Thank You" to all my followers for your comments an ongoing support. I draw a great motivation out of your thoughts and suggestions. Even though I don't know you in person, I enjoy our little conversations a lot. Stay safe, stay healthy, may 2021 a year with much less worries for all of you. 

Cheers, 

Skully

 

 

 

5 Klicks from the Zone - Campaign Turn One

Quarantine allowed me to play a first campaign turn with Nordic Weasel's solo rules for postapoc adventures called 5 Klicks from the Zone. I had lots of fun exploring the wasteland and writing up this little batrep. You can read the prologue here.

5 Klicks from the Zone - The Amazing Adventures of Petunia S.

Welcome to the prologue of my upcoming campaign for Nordic Weasel's Five Klicks from the Zone.
These days are perfect for solo-gaming, i'ts the least contagious activity you can do. I finally got a full license for Comic Life 3 which is an easy to use tool for all kinds of comic projects. I hope to do some more battle reports in this style in the weeks to come.

Let's see the amazing cast of the adventures to come! Miniatures are from Rebel, the scene.uk and GZG.  I didn't have enough when I prepared the campaing, so I had to invest three evenings to get some 7 heroes and villains done. That's the beauty of 15mm - it gets painted faster than light!

Don't miss next episode airing on friday 24th!

Dystopian Diaries - Part 2: Raiders

Welcome to Dystopia. Every monday there will be a new entry showing my progress on all things potapoc.

This time it's some more Raiders, coming from Rebel Minis. I like the sculpts very much. They were fun to paint and the masks make them very much Jason Vorhees / Leatherface. The skips are from the Scene.uk and the rubble tiles are an Ebay find. 

Stay safe, stay healthy.

Dystopian Diaries - Part 1: Chem Troopers

Ok. The theme sets itself easily these days. Welcome to Dystopia. Every monday there will be a new entry showing my progress on all things potapoc. I start with these chaps originally coming from Armies Armies (Russian Empire) and now being distributed by Brigade Models as Polish forces. I really like their masks and overall appearance, they fit perfectly into any Fallout-like setting.
The paint scheme was shamelessly stolen from Spacejacker who made a painting tutorial for them in 2015. You can see it here. They painted in a breeze, all five took me two short evening sessions.

The green buildings are freshly painted too. It's Brigade Models Research Base.  

Stay safe, stay healthy.

And they shall know no fear...

...because the reinforcements have arrived.

Some new character models for my space marine chapter. A scriptor, two captains in heavy armor and five more troopers. The concrete structure is the start of some platform terrain pieces that will will be connected with bridges. I always wanted to have a little bit more of height on my table which looked too flat for my taste.
