Wall of Martyrs Bunker and Bugs

A few things rolling off the workbench this weekend...



First, the Wall of Martyrs Bunker that came with the Wall of Martyrs Kill Zone. 



I still have a second section of trench and then a few more pieces that make up an "imperial defence emplacement" - all the sections are modular and can be mixed and matched with the trench bits...



It seems like this bunker should be able to match up with the trench line - with the side doors, but the ends of the trenches and emplacement bits have slots and table to fit together - and the bunker lacks a slot for the trench/emplacement tab to fit into... I guess I could carve one into it...

I also finally got started on some of the Rogue Trader miniatures - I am determined to paint these and play all the scenarios before jumping into Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress (which I and VERY excited about!!)! I've kind of started by cherry-picking some of the low-hanging fruit... there is SO MUCH DETAIL on all these Rogue Trader minis...



The Eyestiner Swarm for the Gellerpox Infected faction...



Cursemites.

Yeah... started with the icky bugs... There are also some "Sludge-grubs"... then I'll have to start in on the Glitchlings and Gellerpox Mutants and then tackle the Nightmare Hulks... I'll have to mix in some easier to paint minis with all these...


Coming Soon to Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog:

I have some generic (easy-to-paint) Cadian guard on the workbench at the moment...

I had hoped to play some more Kill Team this (long) weekend... but that's seeming less likely. Hopefully we'll get in a game over the week.

Ironskull's Boyz and Wall of Martyrs

A few more things rolling off the workbench that I finished up over the weekend....

First up; Ironskull's Boyz for Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire. These are for a friend of mine that bought into Shadespire last year. I painted the Stormcast Eternals over the Holidaze, got the Bloodbound Warband done a week later (so he could actually play the game). Then I got busy trying to get stuff done for the Shadow War: Armageddon Campaign.  Then I started dragging my ass on these and didn't get the Sepulchral Guard done until June... and I'd STARTED these around the same time... but then Imperial Knights (which I haven't even finished one of!)... and then Summer Holidaze... and then Kill Team... So I figured once ToonCon was over, these should be my FIRST PRIORITY! (Well, except for the rest of the Ad Mech Kill Team...)



Ironskull's Boyz for Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire (from Games Workshop)

Yeah, those are snowflakes on the ground... I like taking pictures outside in natural light. One thing I do like about winter is it is USUALLY overcast, but fairly bright (good light, but no hard showdows). The downside is snow and sometimes not-so-great light - especially in the morning.

Next, I finished up a section of the Wall of Martyrs Imperial Defence Line.



Wall of Martyrs Imperial Defence Line from Games Workshop.

I got this as part of the Kill Team: Wall of Martyrs Kill Zone. I probably didn't really NEED this one... I mean, I HAVE a pretty good trench system... But.. well... it was a "good deal"... (The set was $100CAD - the terrain, bought separately, would have been $125 - and the set included a bunch of scenarios and tactic cards and stuff...).



The front side of the defence line seems to be piles of discarded stuff - broken bits and dead bodies, the backside seems to be storage for extra supplies - crates or ammo or food, a barrel, etc...



This section of line holds an entire squad.

The box included two such sections of line, plus a modular emplacement and a bunker. I'm hoping, at some point, Finnegan picks up the T'au starter (which came out the same week as this Kill Zone and includes another section of the line) and he passes the terrain on to me to paint....

I forgot to take a picture of this on the Kill Zone board! it's pretty plain. Bare earth with a bunch of craters printed on it.

I have to admit, I haven't even looked at the scenarios or Kill Zone card or tactics cards... This is probably the most sparse of the Kill Zones...


Coming Soon to Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog:

Hard to say... I'd LIKE to get more games of Kill Team in... but that seems to only happen on the weekend. As for painting? I did say I'd help The Girl paint some Mice & Mystics minis... I'd like to get some more of this Kill Team terrain done (Wall of Martyrs, Munitorum, Mechanicus and Imperialis terrain still to do!)
