2019-06-29: Åcon 2019, Saturday

DrTheViking staged a Rogue Trader four-way scenario - I played the Orks and almost completed my objective (I had to 'salvage' the red Rhino), although my leader went down on Turn 3.

The Wasteland Muties blew up the entire board by activating a nuclear device from the Age of Strife - winning them the game, but... well...

Some of the monsters making an appearance in Rogue Trader.



The latest incarnation of Adeptus Titanicus saw a couple of demo runs. All those buildings are 3D-printed, by the way!

Wild boars from Stronghold Terrain - I think I need some of those for Paleo Diet...

The compulsory selfie stick fumble photo.



DrThe Viking and Jonas had brought some Oldhammer minis and played a Warhammer 3rd Ed. (I think) game, Undead versus Dwarves.

The Fear-rule in Warhammer seems so much more effective than the Scary-rule in God of Battles...

In the end, the Dwarves were being well overrun - it may have helped that Jonas did not read the rules in advance - Oldhammer rules are fairly complicated, and you need to know your army's meta stuff to perform well.

Sunday, the activity was limited to breakfast and pulling down the party tent, so no pics.

This was a soft reboot of Åcon after a pause last year, and I think that more games will be featured next and following years.

I brought home two boxes of somewhat battered expanded foam modern/futuristic buildings taking up too much space in our host's living room - I am going to repair the broken pieces and use it for some gaming in the attic until I bring it to Åcon and/or other events with the same bunch of guys.

Oldhammer Minis: Second-Hand Bretonnian Archers

My latest purchase, some second-hand metal Citadel Bretonnian archers, including Command. I won them in an auction on a Facebook group (and probably paid about €10 too much, but I really wanted them), and they are going directly into the ultrasound cleaner.

I have had eight of the old Perry Bretonnian archers for several decades, and now I took the chance to enable them being part of a full unit in whatever game I fancy using them for!

SS&SS: Elf Witch Rebased WIP

She is now ready to move on the painting station, where I shall paint her base black before texturing it and panting it in earth colours.

There will now be a break from rebasing old minis, while I assemble the 12 Victrix plastic Greek archers (and possibly also while I speed-paint them).

SS&SS: Witch Elf Getting a New Base WIP

As mentioned earlier, this old piece of Jes Goodwin goodness is being rebased for use in Sellswords & Spellslingers (and other purposes, too, of course).

A couple of hours after making the earlier post, I removed the slotta, razor-sawed off half of the base-tab, and superglued her to a 20mm washer.

I may put some filler on some of the recently based minis later this evening, if I am not too tired in my head of all this sunny and warm weather, but I would like to get them away from the prepping station right away, so that I can start assembling the Victrix Greek archers without any distractions (12 plastic models with only two different bodies may get somewhat boring if it is not done very quickly).

SS&SS: Elf Witch

I am going to re-base this mini painted quite some years ago, and use her as the basis for an Elvish warband for Sellswords & Spellslingers. I have some more painted Elves to join her, so the party should be ready in next to no time.

I love it how SS&SS is motivating me to pick up some of my old and long dormant projects, and give some of my old minis some table time.

Horisont VIII, 2016: Oldhammer

This interesting Oldhammer scenario was presented on this year's Horisont convention. I did not play it, but made some photos of a game in progress.
