This is a quick post of a Saker gun and crew I painted up before starting on my next foot regiment.
The gun and crew are from Warlord Games, painted just like the previous foot regiment. The gun and crew are nicely posed and sculpted.

ECW Quickie - Saker Gun and Crew
Back to the English Civil again now that the Bloodbowl work is done.
This is a quick post of a Saker gun and crew I painted up before starting on my next foot regiment.
The gun and crew are from Warlord Games, painted just like the previous foot regiment. The gun and crew are nicely posed and sculpted.
I have some resin Gabions that I will make up on bases that will surround the gun's base so they can be used in siege scenarios as well.
Cheers Neil

First Project for 2010 - Bloodbowl!!
Happy New Year everyone!
Well the Xmas holidays are drawing to a close and the wargamming year is only a week away. At my local club this year we are having a Bloodbowl league. My son was keen to take part so before Christmas I bought an orc team for him off ebay. I too caught the BB bug and also purchased a goblin team off ebay.
I wanted to paint these teams quickly as I wanted to get back to my main project for the year English Civil War, so it was a simple paint job followed by the armypainter quickshade. I am becoming quite addicted to this technique, as I am getting things painted to a very good standard in half the time of my normal painting style.
I have had a copy of blood bowl since the first edition with the grey polystyrene foam board. However I expect my son to be a bit rougher in his play, so I decided to make a wooden board for him.
The board was made from 12mm MDF board. I used a saw to cut the squares out and then covered the wood in sand. It was then painted black, and then drybrushed with bestial brown and then bleached bone. Flock was added for the grass and then I masked the different line markings and sprayed them with skull white. For added flavour I made some advertising boards with some famous products given the Bloodbowl twist. I downloaded these off bloodbowl internet sites.
Here are the pictures of the board and the orc and goblin teams.

So that finishes the bloodbowl project just in time for the start of the season. I have promised my younger son a Skaven team so that will probably get squeezed in between ECW units.
Bye for now!
Cheers
