Still more goblins...

Trying to push through the rest of the goblins...maybe 25-30 more, but making steady progress.  This batch includes more skirmish archer bases and a few heroes on foot.

 

 

Just a few more goblins...

 Been cranking out some more night goblins...still another 30-40 to go!

 

 

The town "in situ".

 Had a few requests to see the town "assembled" so here is a quick table I knocked out.

 

 

A town showed up on my porch.

I was able to sneak an order in with Mark over at Crescent Root Studios.  I'd been hemming/hawing over what to do about terrain and simply decided to go all-in and order a whole town.  It showed up today in great shape!  Everything seems intact, and I'm very pleased.

 

 

'Welcome to Kwik-Squig...how can I help you?'

I picked up a used set of squigs on eBay and painted them up really quickly for my Night Goblin force.

FSF, a glance at components...

I'm to the point with Famine, Sword, & Fire that the 'physical' components are more or less finalized, with only a few more bits/bobs to sort out.

 

This is a picture of the physical components which will ship alongside the PDFs for the rules, etc.

 

 

In addition, I'll likely be making most of the components available separately, in case someone destroys a card or the battle board, or loses tokens, etc.

 

In addition, I've done specific themed combat tokens for my own personal armies and those of my friends, so I'll probably have those available as an option.

 

Epic Tanks for Epic Things

While I've less than zero interest in Legions Imperialis...I've always been a fan of Epic 40K, so Epic 30K is attractive enough.  I found a handful of boxes on eBay for nearly half-off (and they showed up complete, miracle of miracles!)

 

Some of my buddies have painted some minis, so if we find a game to use them in, I'll be happy.  I have a box of Leman Russes left to finish up.

 

 

Fireforge Games Peasants and a maybe-sorta-kinda Civil War project.

I speed-painted a few more peasants for use as "Peasant Mobs" in FSF - a scenario unit.

 

I also finished my first Confederate battalion from Warlord Games's 'Epic' line of Civil War minis.  I havent' decided if this is a project I'll continue to pursue (I picked up a few boxes during a sale several months ago).  They're not hard to paint, but tedious...

 

 

More AoS sprue-doodles...

 Two of the other sprues I picked up in the small eBay lot were from one of the Warcry kits (pretty sure?).  I knocked them up into a few decent ruins.  I'll just have to ignore the sigmarines carved into each column.

 

 

AoS Terrain Sprues?

A week ago, I picked up a random smattering of terrain sprues from Age of Sigmar and...I think(?) Warcry.  These were on eBay for a "reasonable" price, and I snagged them in the hopes of bashing them into something useful.

 

This is the first two sprues.  I de-AoS'ed them significantly (leaving the Griff Hound statues off, showing them as destroyed instead, covering up AoS emblems with gravel, etc.).

 

I have four more different sprues remaining, and think I can make some decent terrain bits out of them.

 

 

State of the Chaos Dwarf Union, July, 2025.

A few pictures of the current status of the Chaos Dwarf force - now quickly exceeding my ability to capture it in a convenient picture.  At present this force is perhaps 75-80% complete.  I still have a sizable pile of stuff left to paint/add.

The Last of the Wolfriders

I finished (hopefully) the last six wolf riders for my Chaos Dwarf army.  I think I'm done with them, and can start tackling more proper Chaos Dwarfs.

 

These will be skirmishing archers, used to unlock additional deployment options for the army.

 

 

After 11 years of service...

I picked up my first neoprene battle mat back in 2014 or 2015 from Deepcut Studios.  It was their original 'Steppe' pattern and I used it endlessly in numerous games as my "go to" grass mat.

 

Today, while sorting mats, the edges are finally gone - having cracked and become tacky, and crumbly.  I debated giving it away or throwing it out, but then decided to actually cut it up into two small 28"x38" small mats for demo'ing games or small skirmish games.  Not even sure how often I'll use them, but better than throwing it out!

 

 

Night Goblins emerge to help the Chaos Dwarfs!

This past weekend we played game...seven(?) of our narrative campaign.  Here's the updated quick-fire story line:

 

The Dwarfs, having lost five of six games, have been on the backfoot.  While word has been sent to the main Dwarf force, the hermit wizard 'Mr. Crowley' has been leading a hit-and-run resistance against the Chaos Dwarf army as it marches toward the Border Princes region.  Crowley's force was driven off after a failed ambush on a Chaos Dwarf column (last game).

 

Word came to Mr. Crowley that the Chaos Dwarfs had been meeting with Night Goblins.  A truly troubling thing...

 

The Night Goblins had negotiated with the Chaos Dwarfs to show them a long-abandoned entrance to a Dwarf great hall.  The Chaos Dwarfs sent a force to the entrance to see if they could find a route through the dark to the Dwarf's home hall.

 

Crowley and his Dwarfs arrived just in time...planning to hold the bridge against the Chaos Dwarfs...

 

The game was a custom scenario.  The Dwarfs had to find crates of gunpowder, drag them to the bridge, while holding off a Chaos Dwarf force (attacking a doorway into the mountain).  Inside the abandoned Dwarf hall, Night Goblins and Sneaky Gitz would be emerging (from a random table) to attack the heroes and bridgehead.

 

Fortunately for my buddy he managed to sneak two crates onto the bridge at the very end, and triggered the explosives - destroying the bridge and preventing the Chaos Dwarfs from entering the hall.  Sadly Mr. Crowley was cut off and left inside the abandoned hall...
