Chico does Wargaming Scenery for £4: Part 2

This is the second part of fecking around and making a mess with paint/sand/glue/random shit and you can see Part 1 HERE (Go read it now I'll wait).

I will state this now, for anyone who likes stunning looking scenery this post isn't for you, this is dirty and cheap which is made to bash around no skill is required though so anyone can have a go if they so choose.

3 bits out of 10 have been finished, bloody hell is it hard work.. Even to the rough basic standard it takes time and so much effort (Just as well my Wife has bought me some Mantic Scenery for my Birthday).

Combat Zone: Rus-Co Troopers/Henchmen

Yes I know more Combat Zone (Expect a fair few more posts in the weeks to come) and even more Mark Copplestone Ex-Grenadier figures.

But this time I have some Corporation Troops to give the Gangers a good banging (See what I did there?).

Rus-co Troopers/Henchmen:

Orctober: Foundry Orclings..Thousands of 'Um!

Well Ok maybe not that many, but 4 40mm stands worth, fun little buggers to build and paint. I included a few of there Orcling Outriders and the Limited Edition Orclings around a Forge/Anvil.

Combat Zone: Battle Report - Monster Hunt

Last night while enjoying a bottle of Hobgoblin (It may have been closer to 4) I had the chance to play a game of Combat Zone to a good friend of mine. Now It seemed like a good idea at the time but as my Scenery is still under construction and a Battleboard yet to be made we made the best of what we had,

So we just used the scenery which comes with Combat Zone, as it turned out it was more then enough for such a small game.

Brak the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Six Six Sixers hated Zone 17, there was always something quite off putting about the old style brick ruins and that sense of someone or something watching them.

The Sides:

The Six Six Sixers:

4 Average Gangers + 1 Veteran Gang Leader: 3 Machine Pistols, Flame Weapon, Autoshotgun

The Monster:

Hero: Recoiless Rifle

Gargath smells prey, Gargath will hunt! Gargath will eat well!

Combat Zone: The Six Six Sixers

So this coming Wednesday at my local games club (Watford Wargaming Federation) I'm running a Combat Zone Demo to drum up some interest in the 20 year old game (First written in '94).

As such I need to get some Gangs an Troopers painted (Troopers have only just been ordered from Forlorn Hope).

Anyway heres some more Bikers done, The Six Six Sixers:

Chico does Wargaming Scenery for £4

So I fancied some cheap bash around and not care too much Sci-Fi/Post Apoc skirmish scenery. So just how cheap could I go? Well if you have read the title your'll know..Yup a whole £4 and few bits already around the house.

The key is getting a large sheet of foamboard (I got my A2 sheet for £4 from Hobbycraft, everything else I already had but I'll list what I used;

Foamboard
Textured Paint (Had loads from when I did my board awhile back, now lost but will be redone)
Small Nails (To pin the pieces together while the PVA drys)
PVA Glue
Cutting Board
Stanly Knife
2 Pudding Cups

Combat Zone: Scavenger & Biker Gang

Another change of pace and another project progresses alittle further. Some of these have been shown before but they have had a few bits repainted and tidy up to fit with the newer painted ones.

Gang Leader & 2 Veterens

 The Scavengers are a mix of EM4 (Ex-Grenadier) and Copplestone Castings, as they are both sculpted by the same person (Mark Copplestone) they blend perfectly.

Rogue Trader 15mm: Cult of the Children 'Stealer Cult Limo & Brood Brothers

Last night I unpacked my stalled 15mm Rogue Trader project which you can view some of the posts via the links below:

The Start

Emperor's Children

Ork Freebooters & The Torg

The Torg Oshkosh & ''The Hog'' APC

Now once I unpacked them I couldn't just leave them alone, Oh No! As I have large amount of 15mm stashed away I decided I better get some more done and it'll be a nice change from my other projects.

Cult of the Children

Judge Chico: Painting Judge Dredd Part 6 - Judge Quincy, Hershey, Anderson & SJS Judge Cash

Wow a post 2 days in a row, looks like it's back to normal on OoaB Blogging wise. Anyway yesterday was a nice relaxing evening of painting and listening to Horrorcore Music.

Relaxing eh?

Anyway I managed to get 4 Citadel Judge's painted including one in his undercrackers (Underwear for you non-British types).

Orctober: Slave Ogres & Half Orc Slavers

Judge Chico: Painting Judge Dredd Part 5 - The Ape Gang

Army Painter Review

So alittle  while ago I found myself being drawn away from VGC paints alittle to some of the Army Painter range.

Now I still love the VGC range (My VGC review can be found HERE) and won't change fully over to AP as I happen to use 5/6 paint ranges from MP to Citadel.

The Next Project.. Well Maybe..

So we all know that I like to project jump to keep things fresh and too stop the whole getting frustrated with the whole''Hurry up Postman and bring me my Toys!'' that can and does happen.

So a future project that's been in the works since just before BOYL14 is my Rogue Trader Adhuman Warband!

The full Adhuman Warband so far.

Dead Man's Hand: Desperados - The Hellfire Gang

Wow ain't you feckers lucky.. 2 posts in 2 days!But don't get your hopes up for it being back to normal on OoaB as it'll be awhile yet before I get home Internet.

Anyway the first painting project I started and finished in my new home was a 9 man 21 Rep Desperado Gang.So I thought I'd show them off, rather happy with them.

Orctober: Half-Orcs Khornate Cult Part 1

So it's Orctober! Never heard of it eh? Well Erny describes it well here: Erny's Place. Anyway for my entry I'm doing a unit of 20 Khornate Half-Orcs which needed to be done for my Chaos Greenskin Project.

Want to see how far I've got?

Sadly this Half Orc lost his weapon in the Stripper... Oi thats enough sniggering! This is a high class Blog... Ok that's bollocks heh. Anyway he made a nice Standard Bearer with a small bit of converting.
