Rogue Trader 15mm: Toys for the Toys God!

I just like to start my saying I may or may not have just walked  around a few Toy/Discount shops looking like a werido going though there selection of umm.. Toys :) 

Honest!

 Well £3 later...

The 15mm Project

I HAVE A PLAN!

and a empty wallet...

So as you may have seen from Tuesdays POST that I fell hard for 15mm and while I'm still waiting for the CP Models Orcs to turn up I've ended up going on 15mm.co.uk and buying a large chunk of bits and pieces

But.. But.. I HAVE A PLAN!

The plan is simple and allows me to get to paint small amounts and get the most from both the scale and cheapness. I'm going to build a number of small Gangs/Warbands of no more then 10 figures (To start with) and less for Elites.

No rules will be used when building these and I will be building to a common theme, whatever I like the look of and would love to paint.

I have 4 Warbands planned so far, you seen of them already my Space Ork Freebooters, well here's the next 3:

The cheer myself up random buy or Why Chico starts up 15mm gaming

So as some of may know from this POST awhile ago that I have failing eyesight. As of today I now have a diagnosis of what is actually wrong and what I can expect going forward in life.

I have Ischemia (bad blood flow) and small haemorrhages in my eyes caused by Diabetes. Long story short is there is nothing which they can do and it'll only get worse, so blindness in the long term.

So partly to say fuck you to my failing eyesight and because of that evil monkey known as Space Cow Smith from Tales from Far Point and his wonderful 15mm I went and bought myself some 15mm (I bought some 15mm last week too to hide in a box for a few years but I guess that won't happen).

So what did I buy?

Space Orc Warboss and Dreadnought

The Aftermath of BOYL14: Part 3 - Epic Um... Epic?

So day 3 of BOYL for myself was a large Epic game where I got gang raped. But before I show these pictures I'm going to show off my toys that I bought and traded for at the event :)

Just when I thought I was done...

Yep in the last post I said I was done with Epic Scenery, well I was wrong.

Turns out my Daemonscape turn up the next days and the goodies within were cracked out the bubblewrap rather quickly.

I made a start on getting them prepped and half the bits of the final order is finished to go along with everything else already painted.

Epic Scenery Done!

Well ok.... maybe not, I still have an order from Daemonscape yet to arrive containing ruins/rubble, more Orky shacks and a couple of large Warehouses. But I'm not sure if they will even get here before BOYL let along painted in time for my Epic games (I'm both running a few on the Saturday and playing in a large one on the Sunday)

Quite happy with how they turned out and I'm glad I based them on plastic sheeting for ease of use even if it was annoying and I ended up getting sand everywhere (Including on the Cat)

My Ork settlement, I will add to it (In fact that's the order I'm waiting for) a fecking bugger to paint as it's all fiddly bits and odds and sods.

Chico's Top Ten Miniatures: Part 2

Time for part 2, guess I better show some Citadel goodies or I'll get lynched or at least brutally sodomised by a Imperator Titan! and a Ham Sandwich!

Actually I love plenty of Citadel goodies so its not that bad really lol

Judge Dredd Fink Angel

Arhhh Fink Angel my kinda chap.. hiding down holes and poisoning people.

Epic: Orks & Buildings

Been awhile since an Epic Blog post, but have no fear today's one is a bumper one. A few of these pictures have been posted elsewhere but you can enjoy them again anyway :)

Kult of Speed Nob Bikers

Kultof Speed Spleenrippas

Epic Orks: Kult of Speed

Just a small update, these ladz were the last thing I painted before my eyes went wonky. Rather pleased with how they turned out.

2 Nob Bikers and a Buggie

3 Evil Sun Battlewagons

6mm Terrain

So me and my Wife are looking to move in the coming months and I've been promised I an have a gaming table! (Much bribes were used in this process).

It's part of the reason my basing have become more uniform so they'll match my table :)

Anyway with the Oldhammer Weekend coming up and I have a few Epic games planned so to kill 2 Frenchies (Looking at you Mr Ass ;) ) with 1 stone I'm making/buying some 6mm terrain pieces.

Epic Orks; Badmoons Stompas and Battlewagons Support Cards

Wow in a weeks time this Blog will be 1 year old and as it stands nearly 45k views.. anyway more about that later then week.

Today I bring you more shit pictures of my latest Epic Orks (With conversions, sadly not from me).

Epic Orks: Bad Moons Ork Dread Mob Support Card & Blood Axe Nobz

Been a quiet week on the Epic front as I'd run out of 2p's to base with, surprisingly it's rather hard to pick up 2p's in this day and age.. either that or it's just plain sods law.

Anyway I'm back on track after convincing a Bank teller to give me some (I went in Natwest Bank last week and they told me sorry they don 't hold that many 2p's up front.. wtf it's a Bank!)

Anyway here's a few pictures:

Bad Moons Dread Mob Support Card:

Epic Orks: Snakebite Squiggoths Support Card

Just a small post today but I've finished my first SMV2 Ork Support Card, Snakebite Squiggoths!

Epic Orks: Evil Sun Clan Part 3 Almost done!

Part 3 of the WIP of the Evil Sun SMV2 Ork Clan Card, I'm almost done with only 4 more Boyz stands to complete.

A large bag of plastic Orks arrived at my door yesterday from Nico over on the Blog Realms of Chaos (BTW his stuff is mind blowing so go check it out).

Anyway I got to work on a few more stands:

Challenge: Big Guy Week Day... Um. 2? 3? 5?

Errr sooo Big Guy Week.. yeah after finishing my Exo Suits and prepping my Mole Mortar I haven't got much further on them.

I can give a 101 reasons why but the truth was  I just wasn't feeling up to painting much more then 10/20 mins a sessionthis week so Epic was more fitting way to spend my time.

I did convert up and clean the following though:

£12 from a seller on LAF

Epic Orks: Evil Sun Clan Part 2

So more painting and more swearing at the little gits I've made it past the half way mark of my Evil Sun Clan card for Epic Space Marine 2nd Ed.

9 Boyz stands, 5 Battle Wagons & 1 Nob Wagon finished, that's just 6 Boyz stands & 4 Nobz stands to finish to complete the card.. yay! All joking aside the Wagon's are great fun to paint but the Boyz not so much, hoping that will change as I get different Orks rather then the same SMV1 box set Orks repeating themselves.

Epic Orks: Evil Sun Clan Part 1

Busy boy painting once again, this time it's my first Epic bits painted. Rather happy with how this Clan (Evil Suns) is turning out.. Not so happy with how long it's taking to remove the boyz from there old bases and re-base them on 2p's

Chico Go's Epic

So I've gone and started a new project! Who's shocked? Nope didn't think so heh

Anyway even though it's Big Guy Week I've gone and started Epic.. Space Marine 2nd Ed in fact. And the Race I've chosen is Race I'm very familiar with (and you might of guess by the banner) ORKS!

Challenge: Stuntie Week Day 1

Arhhh the 2nd Chico Challenge week has kicked off in a display of paint brushes flying though the air to the tune of screaming guitars and thunderous drums.

Ok so maybe not screaming guitars and thunderous drums with that one oops...Um lets try it again!

Thats better! Now picture time!

Challenge: Stuntie Week starts today!

So this week is the start of the second ''Chico's Challenge'' and this time it's Stunties Week!

But before we go into that, I'd like to show you my latest batch of toys I've finished painting my Kommanda and his Orken ZZ and Orkla Youth.
