The Blitzing Dead

Blood Bowl is one of the classic game systems that attracts (and accommodates) lots of third party manufacturers of flavourful teams and gaming accessories. These Undead sportspersonnel were made by Greebo Games and painted by us to serve in our customer's local Blood Bowl league. The colourful unit contains a proper horror-inspired ensemble of zombies, ghouls, ghosts and golems - it even has a couple of werewolves! 

Although the models are a bit on the goofy side, we approached the subject with a somewhat realistic palette, keeping the colours dark and muted, fitting for a rotting undead host. Earthy tones of greens and browns were used in the uniform as well, with the pale skin tones and bright metals serving as a contrast. Hopefully the necromantic theme doesn't attract too many of those dreaded Double Skulls in the games to come!

Is it Halloween already?

Banshees and Werewolves.

One of the two menacing Big Guys.

Agile ghouls ready to pounce.

The actual team is also joined by counter models such as a graveborn referee, a necromancer coach and a bunch of zombie cheerleaders. 

The Sonic Syndicate

The 11th Edition of Warhammer 40,000 is right around the corner and new armies are mustering as this is written down. We expect a busy season of gaming and painting for the Summer, as the community prepares to update their armies for the refreshed rules and tournament environments. 

To tackle any challenges posed by the 11th edition our customer commissioned a complete detachment of wicked Emperor's Children complete with armoured transportation and daemonic allies. These were painted to complement the Chaos Knight force we did a while back - a thematic allied detachment to add a bit of infantry flair to the stature of the titanic war machines. The modern Slaaneshi Chaos Marines were a joy to work with - all the detailed bits and cool posing options give them a lot of distinctive character.

The flawless host assembled. For the Emperor!

War Head Horus Heresy: The Grid Results and Coverage

"We suffer because it is the sad but necessary consequence of our ability to prevail."

Several war-hungry Legions entered The Grid this Saturday, as we kicked off another War Head Horus Heresy event in the traditionally casual and hobby-first atmosphere! The format was about chasing different kinds of gaming objectives, hobby goals and soft score, trying to achieve as many completed "grid rows" of five tasks as possible. We also rewarded our industrious and skilled participants for their painting prowess, creative conversions and thematic army list choices as well as for (well earned!) peer appreciation.
