Concord - Beyond the Gates of Antares

 The last of this round of BtGoA stuff... One of the few Warlord paint schemes that I like, so I kept them generic.

Oof, that face needs working on, but at least I can get them to the table now...

Nighty, Nighty Boromitey

 Last of these units...

Moulded with milliput some bases for the magnetised weaponry thatr came wwith the big point units, the Hauler and the Brood Mother. It's good to be able to swap weaponry and good to save money elsewhere too.

A ludicrously over-sized fractal cannon! 

Boromite close quarter fighters.

yer bog-standard Boromite grunt doing what his mum tells him to.

Big ticket units.

Beyond the Gates of Antares, Boromite force.

 This army has been hanging around for the best part of a year while I distracted myself with various other projects.

Lord alone knows when I'll get around to using them for BtGoA. Much as I like that game there isn't much of a scene for it at the moment. Still, I love the sculpts and rate the entire range pretty highly. These models were a joy to paint

There's so much here that will be useful for all the "miniature agnostic" games that I now have my eye on. I know that there's a scifi Frostgrave variant on the horizon, for instance.

Engineer Squad

A fabulous Matriarch unit, with gun drones. Chonky.

This faction have really imaginative cavalry units.

Gaming table finally looking playable

 Using existing kits and the DIY builds I've thrown myself at in recent months it turns out that I finally have enough terrain for a varied table. I definitely need more scatter terrain however.

There's some obvious scaling issues between various bits of scenery here, but the "Garden of Morr" stuff looks ok if you restrict it to a graveyard type corner.

A Northumbrian Tin Soldier "Goblington" takes the first treasure in this game - and keeps it from what I recall.

I call this terrain building phase of hobbying over for now. I have some Antares stuff that's been waiting forever, and an elf army....

Beyond the Gates of Antares - gone Ghar Ghar.

 The units from the base game. I was putting off painting these and instead ending up really enjoying the process.

I feel like they need an accent colour now. Perhaps across the middle plating?

Establishing a foothold in the Antares universe....

 

Test post.

First time in a long time of no blogging. I hope to keep this blog as an online diary of my re-emergent love affair with war gaming.

...which began with thinking the ruleset for "Bolt Action" sounded cleaner and more interesting than anything I'd previously played....
