Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.18 - Da Royal Court Completed.

Bit of a bonus Bloggy post today as I've stumbled across my old Foundry Orc Warband while having a tidy up this morning.

Sadly they haven't been used in anger in many a moon which is a real shame as I quite like the ladz. 

Bolt Action - Operation Sealion/Dad's Army

So as you might know Warlord Games are releasing a Campaign book for Bolt Action  based on the ''What could have happened'' British Invasion code-named Operation Sea Lion.

The year is 1940, and the German invasion of Britain has begun. With this new campaign book for Bolt Action, players can fight the battles of World War II's greatest 'what if' scenario. Defend the cliffs of Dover and the beaches of Kent from wave after wave of German landing craft. Parachute into the Home Counties in a surgical strike to capture Winston Churchill. Rally the Home Guard in a last, desperate attempt to keep England free of the Nazi invaders! Containing new rules, scenarios, and unit types covering all of the unique features of this alternate history campaign, it offers a chance for all Bolt Action players to truly rewrite the history of World War II.

Now seeing as last years Bring Out Your Lead hosted at Foundry I picked up more or less the full set of Foundry's Home Guard it was due time I got working on them again.

I already had one section finished so I already had a good start.

Anyway enough talking I'm sure you want to see some pictures, being me shite pictures but whatcha expect? hehe

Bolt Action: German Winter Wehrmacht

So the last Blog Post I showed you all my WW2 Winter German Armour, now here's the the Wehrmacht Infantry to go with it.

Bolt Action: German Armour

In July last year I posted up a Blog post showing off my German force for BA/K'47.

Now I wasn't happy with it and I ended up paint stripping them and separating the force into two, a K'47 army which also serves as a BA Last Levy force with changing up the units (Remove Volksstrum & add in Heavy Armoured Inf or vice versa) pictures of those to come.

The 2nd force were turned into a Ostfront Mid-Late War Winter force.

Today I finished the last but of Armour in the form of a Stummel.

So here's all the Armour done:

Bring Out Your Lead 2016 - The Aftermath Pt.1

Fecking hell that's BOYL over for another year, smaller affair this year? Yes.. quieter? Nope!

So I now find myself sitting at home on the sofa (While the Wife snores in the Bedroom) at 7am thinking damn I've got used to having a Full English cooked by the Hotel Staff I wonder if I could get away with cooking one now...

Anyhoo I'm going to break this down into 3 Parts:

1> The General Pictures

2> The Judge Dredd Game

Bring Out Your Lead 2016 - Foundry's little suprise

So as you know BOYL is hosted by the fantastic Wargames Foundry and each year the do something special for the Oldhammer crowd from the Oldhammer Goblin to last years Unreleased 2000AD/Rogue Trader set being cast.

This year they have gone done it again.. Fresh from their Facebook page:

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.15 Barny Widdleslop, Slapdud the Lame & Furrozek Filthfingers

As promised from Pt.14 I've been adding to the Da Royal Court for use in Chicoheim™ (Either Mordheim or Frostgrave).

So today is 4 new members:

Barny Widdleslop, Slapdud the Lame, Furrozek Filthfingers & a Handmaiden

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.14 Wanger Rumblestump the Chief Jester & Ozzy the Bateater

So it's been awhile since I've done anything for my Mordheim/Chicoheim™ Orcs aka ''Da Royal Court''.

But like most (Read: all) of my projects they are never really finished or put to bed.

Yesterday while looking though the lovely updated Warmonger Miniatures I got the urge to paint up some more of the stunning Kev Adams Greenskins.

For those that don't know Warmonger is an extension of Foundry Miniatures where all their stunning (Sometimes bloody expensive) Fantasy range now lives.

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.13 Orc Warband and Scenery completed

'Ello my OoaB Readers!

Enjoying the Rugby World Cup?

I am!

Anyway in the last post I was asked to do a shot of all the finished Mordheim scenery together so far, so off I trucked to my local gaming Club tonight and took a few shots.

Now as you can see, there's not much yet but it's slowly building up.

The Orc Warband so far

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.8 - Treasure Tokens/Scatter Terrain WIP

It's a long holiday weekend here in rainy England, so what that means to me in fact is no post until Tuesday.. Bollocks!

So with no new toys to distract me I was able to get cracking on a few more mundane bits for Chicoheim™, namely some Scatter Terrain/Treasure Tokens.

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.7 - Orc Queen

So who says there isn't many realistic female figures in Wargaming?

Well this one sure enough looks like my Wife on that special time of the month,

Khorne cares not where the blood flows indeed...

Anyway I bring forth the Orc Queen Vict-Orca

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.5 - The first battle

So Wednesday night saw myself play the first game of Mordheim in around 15 years.. 

Oi I'm that old honest!

Heh anyway here's a few select pictures for your enjoyment.

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.4 - It's all coming together

So with this update I'm now down to the final 3 Greenskins (Which will be painted for the next post).

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.3 - Chef, Jester & Royal Guards

So it's part 3 of my Mordheim posts, who's getting fed up with my new found obsession with well dressed Orcs and Gobbos!?

No?

Still reading?

Want me to get on with it already?

Ooooo a Squirrel...

Ahem,

Ok here's the latest progress:

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.2 - Big Boss & Squig Bouncers

Well well well, looks like I have managed to start up a small Mordheim campaign at Watford Wargaming Club so that's a result.

Now it kicks off on the 9th of September, so I better get cracking and finish painting (And collecting) my Warband, guess I better learn the rules too eh? But that's secondary ;)

Here's how the Warband looks so far:

Chico Does Mordheim: Pt.1 - The Executioner + Chop

Confession time.. I haven't touched this game since Umm.. 2000-2001

It's not because I don't like the game it just slipped though the cracks of my collecting and gaming phases.

That changed last week when I wanted to used the wonderful Foundry Orcs (Found HERE) and I knew I could never afford a Mass Battled Game army of them.

I had a number of rulesets I could have used but my local Club are very much GW gamers at heart..

So Mordheim it is!

The Executioner leads the Warband with his pet Orcling called ''Chop'' 

Painting Citadel Judge Dredd Part 13 - East-Meg 2 Hit Squad

Following on from the last post (HERE) I've been cracking on with the formerly unreleased figures and turning them into the East-Meg 2 Hit Squad.

Painting Citadel Judge Dredd Part 12 - East-Meg 2 Judges Boris & Viktor

Having picked up many packs (Read 4) of formally unreleased ex-Citadel RT/JD figures at BOYL this last weekend it would have been a shame not to get a couple painted eh?

I started with 2 of the figures that were based on Judges (Judge Giant and a SJS Judge) and with a plan in mind to make them East-Meg 2 Judges for both next years JD game and to give my home games another rival force to challenge Dredd himself.

Big Boris and Sharpeye Viktor
