40K Imperial Skyshield Landing Platform

Another painting job for a friend at the club. This is an oddball of a kit in some ways. If you don't base it, then the legs are a bit too flimsy. If you do base it, you can't access the underside. Maybe basing it but leaving the legs unglued is the option. However, by the time I painted it, it had long been assembled. Rather bored of Mechanicus red and pale blues and flashy gold for the other 40K projects, I went for a classic martial green and cream look. What? Something to the side you say? Oh, yes.

Tatooine/Desert Terrain

For a while I've been working on some multi-purpose terrain. The idea is that it will fit happily into desert, Mexican, Indian, Middle Eastern, Afghan, &c, &c settings, and that some elements will sit happily in Star Wars. Yes, I've been planning for Legion. Here's some of the work so far, both in individual shots and several of a table set up. Given the surprising size of Legion figures, you'll note some of the door sizes are off. Er, small aliens live in those places. I guess.

ACW Teaser

A few models on the painting table for, I hope, some games of Longstreet in the future. We've played a test game so far, and I remain as enamoured of the rules as I was when I first saw they contained abilities like turning an opponent's unit up to 90 degrees off course mid-move, and a "poor cartography" card which lets you place a swamp slap bang in front of an enemy unit!

Bling!

The Imperium of Man is just too gaudy for words. I painted a friend's something-or-other for him.
