Helping Hands 11 - Spear Merc



Eleventh  of the monthly posting of the other world Henchman in conjunction with Duke of the Blood Keep and Minis by Finch Only one more to do plus of course the obligatory group shot.

Counting my fantasy adventurers the other day I realized I had nearly 100 painted so in theory I never need to paint another one as in all likelihood I will be using no  more than 10 at one time.

The spear armed Merc has the same armour as the last one but this time for the flesh I have used the foundry 3 stage flesh triad that I picked up at salute and quite like this morning (I hated it last night). 

I nearly missed the deadline this month despite having completed most of this figure a month or two ago. Overall this is only the second figure I have painted this month compared to 25 in January when I finished my Yanks. Hopefully my painting enthusiasm will kick start as I have loads to do with two new projects ready to be painted, mainly ECW and Lion Rampant WOTRs. 

This of course ignores all the fantasy stuff I have to do and modern zombies etc. And of course I am aiming to get enough undead done by Christmas in time for Dragon Rampant.

New set of Mordheim Buildings

Last month I finished off my second set of GW Mordheim buildings. Both sets now complete, just need to get around to playing some games.   

Warhammer Fantasy Battle

So having now painted a fair number of fantasy figures there is a need to start to work out how they could be used. Mordheim initially springs to mind with a solid background and some nice terrain already build. My original plan was to use the figures as part of a D&D game but this still looks a long way off. With my thoughts returning to old school gaming I have been toying with gladiatorial battles perhaps using the fantasy trip or one of the early old school games. This has now come around to possibly using 3 rd (or 2 nd ) edition warhammer fantasy battle.  These early rule sets certainly cover most of the creatures that I was thinking of using and of course I already own the rules. For 3 rd edition I have the rulebook, siege, army lists and slaves to darkness. So plenty to be getting on with. I also have the box and booklet for Terror of the Lichemaster but the cardboard figures and most of the buildings are long gone. However I do really like the later editions of WHF...
