The Cricket Club Knights - Chapter 1 Orctober


"So it begins"

                                               King Théoden of Rohan


So the results for the first fortnight are in; October was a short or rather a half month for The Tale of Lockdown Gamers and we are still not sure we are doing this monthly or fortnightly. However this old Dwarf should not digress, we have some painted minis to discus! 

Now with my own stuff and that of the Tabletop Hobby Crew we will look at these minis in more detail later, so I will add ours in last and this will become the regular format. I've been a bit of a hobby butterfly this last few weeks, so there is a bit of work to get these minis into the blog on their own.

Mullins Call sign; (Ringer)  This Month: 7  




Validating our claims on "Orctober"; Mullins (Ringer) has been busy with some Morannon Orcs. Ringer is a Big BIG Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game fan. Rumour has it hes got more orcs than Sauron himself...

 


I think particular mention should go to the fantastically textured metalwork on these. I'll explain his technique a little more in the November Post.

This months progress includes a set of 7 Morannon Orcs, Continuing his experimentation with Contrast paints, Ringer has to get these guys out there efficiently! he has 29 orcs left to do, and "He has a Cave Mordor Troll!" 




Andy: Call sign; (Mr Brown)  This Month 0




So Mr Brown hasn't yet broken into the paints, and soo technically he scores a big fat doughnut for this month, but hes lining up a mega score next month! working on this mega project "Sump Sea Board" for Necromunda. Here are some images of his progress on that.




Tristan: Call sign; (Tank) This Month 26

Well it is probably easier to list the minis Tank hasn't Painted this month.
We have 5 Imperial Archers for Warhammer Fantasy, 12 Classic Cadians in a classic colour combo, and 4 Ogryns (Tristan rather generously only took 2 points per ogryn) plus this rather scary fella... 

Crikey!


The Gang all together



Now hes also been doing some recon on an upgrade on his current Chimera. a little go on this old Spartan around rural Englandshire may have convinced him, but im not sure the Mrs was happy with the old armour value.


Needs a Dozer Blade and a Hunter Killer Missile if you ask me...


A lovely day in the corps/


Ross: Call sign; (Reaper)  This Month 0

Its the busy season for Reaper... 
Nothing this month but rumour has it that Mrs Reaper has provided consent to bring the paints "downstairs" - it must be love!

Mike: Call sign; (Moves)  This Month 10

I think rather than post too many pics of the work done this month I suggest you pick up the links to teh bottom of this post, where you can see not only Moves minis in more detail, but also the rest of the crew at his club.

Danny:

The Fat Dwarf: 

I have painted a series of bits an bobs for my cadians over the end of October. Three Ogryns an officer of the fleet, an astropath and a

Warhammer Fantasy - Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus

  Warhammer Fantasy Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus  I was always on the lookout for a model to represent the Necrolith Colossus in my Tomb Kings army. When the Hobbit spotted a 3D printed model on eBay and ran out of his hole shouting and squealing that it may be a good proxy, I thought I better take a look, if only to stop the neighbours complaining... There is a big temptation for getting my Tomb King army match fit for the release of The Old World. ( Assuming that the unit roster and base sizes will be similar to 8th edition ). When I saw the photo of it, I immediately recognised that it was, in fact, a great model to represent a Necrolith Colossus armed with a Bow of the Desert. Patting the little guy on the head, I couldn't really tell if the quality of print was good but decided to take a chance and ordered it. A few days later a Royal Mail hawk arrived with my Necrolith Colossus.   ( Unfortunately, I cannot remember the vendor's details but the purchase went smoothly an

Warhammer 40K Scenery - Sector Mechanicus Part 1 - Galvanic Servohaulers

Warhammer 40K - Sector Mechanicus Part 1 Galvanic Servohaulers Welcome to Mars-Real Estate! if you're gonna build an industrial centre you first need some plant... Looking to Buy Galvic Servohaulers? UK -   Element Games    The Outpost    Firestorm Games    Wayland Games USA / Canada - Games Kastle I have to recreate a martian industrial landscape....on a table...!!!...no problem! First up, I'm ahead of the curve, as I have a desert themed game-mat. These game-mats are really good. They are made of a similar material to a mouse mat. Therefore they are gentle on falling models and are a good surface for rolling dice on. The main benefit of these mats are they hold their shape after rolling up at the end of the battle, no creases or wrinkles despite numerous battles, and rolling up into their own bag, are easily stored. Secondly, I've managed to acquire a fair amount of industrially themed scenery which I'm going to paint up over the next few months. In 9th edition 40K

Warhammer Fantasy - Dark Elves Chapter 8 - Har Ganeth Darkshards

  Warhammer Fantasy - Dark Elves Chapter 8 Har Ganeth Darkshards Time to increase the core unit count of my Khainite force with some Darkshard s . This will not only increase the unit count but enable me to field an army at a higher points level. Their addition will also give me some variety in unit type, in regards a bit of range, as most of the army is melee based. HEY YOU ! Yeah you with the Beard..  Why not follow us on Instagram?   @Tabletop_hobby.blogspot I'm assuming Har Ganeth, as a major Druchii city, will be able to field a 'city guard' of some sort, (it certainly does in the Malus Darkblade novels - FD) . I felt  Darkshards seemed the most appealing and appropriate to start with, this will install some missile capabilities in the army. Darkshards These are the standard core unit box set models that can also be assembled as Bleakswords and Dreadspears . I had enough parts to assemble a unit of 14 models including a command group and I also decided to have them
