What a Strange Month It Has Been!

So much has happened over the last month! Everything as we know it has changed and we will certainly come out of this hopefully for the better.  But lets not even mention why things are the way they are.  I would just like to wish you all the best and let's see everyone get through this troubling time.

I have been working so much over the past few weeks I haven't got much hobby in.  What I have got in is something completely different and refreshing for me, Sci-Fi!

I am doing up a nice mix of models from Anvil Industry and Victoria Miniatures however I will not reveal yet what the models are primarily for but I will also be wanting to try out Zona Alfa.  I am also 3D printing a load of Modular Sci-Fi Terrain by Warlayer. 

It is nice living in Australia and supporting a local manufacturer like Victoria Miniatures.  I have some really cool and interesting sculpts by them and I am most impressed with the quality.

I really enjoyed painting some of my Anvil Industry Zombies and they are perfect for a multitude of Genres from Modern to Sci-Fi.

Afghanistan Compound for 20mm Moderns

Adding to my 20mm Modern Warfare project is this 3D printed Afghanistan Compound by 3D Print Terrain.  This was available from one of their many kickstarters or can be purchased on their website.

I will be doing an article for Paint all the Minis that expands on how this compound came to what it is in these photos.  I will put up a link to the article once it is published on their website.

This thing is huge!

The detail is lovely for a 3D print

The compound was textured with a mix of PVA glue and Tile Grout

Australians commence clearing the compound

The Taliban have other ideas

The Compound is fully Modular and magnatised

Frostgrave - Creating Felstad

I have been very busy 3D printing and painting terrain for Frostgrave.  The game is based around the Frozen City of Felstad which is in ruins and the snows have melted attracting adventurers.

All the images in this post contain 3D printed terrain and everything except the bases is printed.  I will start off with some post edited photos first to set the scene.

Cultists come running out of a Graveyard 

Frostgrave Cultists

Just some of my Frostgrave Cultists available 

Soldiers fighting their way through the Graveyard

A Witch and his Apprentice practicing the dark arts

... something disturbs them

The Witch Hunters Seek them out

Surrounded the fight is on

Zombies raising from their Graves

A necromancer in a wooded area raises some frozen corpses

All of the scenery is from Thingiverse or Printable Scenery.  The Graveyard is a particular favorite of mine.  All the Graveyard components are from Printable Scenery.  I used some left over plasticard for the path and used a tree and centre tombstone from Thingiverse.

The tombstone slides back revealing an underground Crypt... or dungeon

Ulvheim ruins available from Printable Scenery

Ruined Gothic Abby from Pritable Scenery.  I printed it in four pieces
 and in hindsight should of just printed it as one piece

CD Trees.  Better than throwing the CDs out I got some trees from Thingiverse
and mounted them to this now redundant technology

To cover the gap I immortalised some Warlord Games employees.  Each CD has a unique
quality control slip entombed in it

This is only the start for the terrain I am creating for Felstad.  Make sure to follow me on twitter for updates!

... and finally there is only Death in the Frozen City

Preparing for a Frostgrave Campaign

For those of you who have been following along on twitter, I have been busy with Frostgrave lately.  These are my latest offerings.  Two Soldiers Painted up for a future Warband, Three more Cultists completed, Three 3D Printed Treasure tokens and a piece of CD Terrain with 3D Printed trees.

More CD Terrain is in the works and I am printing off a load of ruins to make up a table! It's all happening.

I have a bit of a Frostgrave bug at the moment!

Stay tuned for more.

Two Plastic Frostgrave Soldiers - Excellent Miniatures

Three Plastic Frostgrave Cultists - I like them nice and bright

CD Terrain - A great way to use technology from yester-year.

3D Printed Terrain Spanish Rural Buildings

I have finished painting up my 3D Print Terrain Italy/Spain Kickstarter Rural Buildings.  I have added some sand for texture to bring the buildings to life.  The walls I glued together in an L configuration.

I think they look great and they will be really handy for Peninsula War Campaigns and WW2 in Southern Europe.
