Yet more Trenchworx tanks and some dungeon baddies in this installment of "As the Analogue Hobbies Challenge turns.....

First up two tank destroyers  a US m-18 and a Jagdpanther.

 Next something a bit more modern a BTR-80A

 2 reaper Bones monsters a rather silly "Dragon Tortoise" and a purple worm.

 That will leave a mark!

 Lastly six armored Skeletons for Frostgrave

Mummies, Afghans, LRDG, Big Monsters - More Challenge entries

Another big photo dump from the Challenge

Some dungeon baddies

The mummies are Reaper Bones figures and I really can't recommend them - way to bendy

Modern Afghans from Empress Miniatures - superb figures

LRDG vehicles from Perry

Dungeon monters - these are reaper figures also but much more fun to paint.  The Bones material works very well with larger figures.

Frostgrave Demons

Action shot - you might see something like this as Historicon 2017

Back to Painting

 Finally a bit of jet-lagged painting on Sunday.  First up are two test figures from the Reaper Bones line.  A Stone golem on the left and a stone giant on the right.  The giant is 80mm tall.

Reaper bones are really cheap, have nice sculpting but are cast is a softer plastic that's very "bendy"  They require a good bit of cleanup but you just can't beat the price and I recommend them as a cheap way to get some baddies for Frostgrave or another fantasy game.

 They take paint well and you're not supposed to prime them - put the paint on directly after washing them in soapy water.

If the models come bent - like the club on the giant just put them in hot (not boiling) water and you can bend adjust the piece.  Once cooled it should retain the new shape.

 I haven't finished the bases as I'm not sure of the color scheme for the terrain I'll be building so more on that later.

 Did I say they were cheap?  The range is huuuuge and you can stock up on bad-guys for a really low price - hence the cheap comment.

I don't know how the figures hold up with tabletop usage but we shall see.

I also started a second team for Guildhall - the Hunters and will be going for an arctic theme - hence the polar bear.
