I’ve been getting more into the game Gaslands with my son and also with adult friends. It’s a Mad Max-esque tabletop game where you’re expected to create your own game pieces by kitbashing with toy cars. I already have all the crafting, painting and 3d printing supplies I need from my other wargaming hobbies, so the barrier to entry was incredibly low. It’s a lot of lighthearted fun. Here is my latest creation.

I printed this Death Guard hellbrute proxy, and I can't help but think of the Kool-Aid Man.

OH YEAH!

Even with the high costs mitigated by 3D printing, painting an entire wargaming army is still laborious and time-consuming. I'm starting to see the appeal of skirmish games where you only need/use 5-10 models. I'm going to try to churn out a few skirmish armies, and to stay in the spirit of reducing effort I'm going to give "contrast" paints a try, which are more like translucent inks that you paint over a pre-shaded grayscale model. My paints arrive tomorrow, and in the meantime I've been shading these guys, which is a lot simpler and faster than it probably looks.

Des rabiots, de la résine, de la peinture… et voilà !
J’avais envie d’ajouter une créature imposante et repoussante à mon armée de rats. Après quelques heures de travail, la bestiole est enfin prête !

This is the Plague Sorcerer conversion model I mentioned in my previous post. As it came, sitting on a plain base, it looked a whole lot like the Terminators, which is boring. Also, psyker units also usually have some kind of staff or banner. So, to make him a bit more interesting I made a raised base and pieced together a standard-type staff from leftover bits from my Bloat Drone kit. It will all look a lot less crappy when it's painted.

Yesterday a friend was visiting from out of town, and I had an opportunity to play my first fill game of Warhammer 40,000. We pitted my fledgling Death Guard army against his Deathwatch (no relation) space marines. I actually won quite handily, which surprised me. I was ahead on points and completely destroyed all of his units by turn 3. I'm not going to feel smug about it because my friend was giving me a lot of advice along the way. Still, he didn't let me win; it was a legitimate victory.

I also gained a unit of five Blightlord Terminators which he was able to get me at half price from his local hobby store because they're already assembled (but unpainted). They accidentally threw in a kit-bashed Lord of Contagion that as best we can tell was meant to be a conversion to a Sorcerer in Terminator Armour, which is awesome because I've been lacking an HQ unit. Score.

Just finished some "dragon's teeth" miniature war gaming terrain. I think it came out pretty OK.
