COVENANT OF MENOTH

Menoth’s Covenant with the people seems impenetrable and obscure. In truth, it is quite simple: obey the True Law or be washed from the face of Caen – The Harbinger of Menoth

The Covenant of Menoth is a call to war. For two millennia it lay hidden and was studied in secret only by select priests. As the Crusade’s flames spread, however, its passages echoed through Immoren once again, strengthening the Lawbringer’s loyal warriors and striking down the arcane tricks of His enemies. It is a devastating weapon of the True Faith.

I started working on my Protectorate of Menoth army again. I am completely rebasing them so that they are all on chunks of Cities of Death pieces. I decided that I wanted to alter the standard look of the Convenant, so instead of having a dude carrying the Book on his back, I have converted him to be hefting it with both meaty arms.

I did all the pinning and such today. Maybe I can slap a little paint on it later. Looking forward to getting this one finished. I will post some updated pictures when I make some progress in this project.

PROTECTORATE BASES

I am working on my Protectorate of Menoth army again, and I decided that I was going to tear them all off their bases, and redo them. I have started to add cut off sections of Games Workshop Cities of Death parts to give my wee dudes a “wrecked city” look. This required cutting the Cities of Death sections down, and pinning them to the base to ensure they were stable. Mainly because Privateer Press bases have that famous lip, and that made putting the sections on the bases somewhat difficult.

Now I just need to get a little time to paint. When I get some more work done, and have worthwhile updates to share, I will toss out another post.

But until then … keep rollin’ sixes.

Bloody Bradigan

♥

For Miniature Monday (#minaturemonday on Twitter) I present Bloody Bradigan.

I play Mercenaries, and I thought it was about time to get some of the Talion charter fnished. I’m sure I can use his Weapon Master fists in my army somewhere. All I need to do once the paint dries is add some flock, and seal the model.

WEALTH, COIN, AND TREASURE

Treasure!

Today I was doing some reading in the AD&D Dungeon Master’s guide reviewing the information provided by Gary Gygax starting on page 25. Before I post anything, I thought I would open the discussion for the few of you who read this Blog in order to find out how you handle the situation of playing characters maintaining their wealth in between adventures. Also, I’d like to invite those few who play the Iron Kingdoms game to chime in as well. With Privateer Press soon releasing their updated version of the Iron Kingdoms RPG, I plan to be posting about it as well. Please share your thoughts! Thanks very much.

HEAP VIDEO

From the Privateer Press website:

Privateer Press presents a look at Heap, the madcap card game of vehicular chaos where gangs of crazed goblin bodgers fight for the scraps of a post-apocalyptic world. In this card game for 2-4 players, whoever cobbles together the most outrageous vehicles will rule the heap! Get set for pedal-to-the-metal mayhem, summer 2012! View the story to watch a “First Look” at this exciting new game!

Awesome Tharnness: Ghetorix

From the Privateer Press website:

Once a proud Tharn king, Ghetorix was bested in combat and captured by Kromac for defying Morvahna the Autumnblade. As penance for his defiance, Morvahna forced the warpwolf elixir upon the defeated king, transforming him into one of the fiercest warpwolves the Circle has ever known.

Ghetorix’s thirst for blood and hunger for violence is legendary. His howled battle cry sets his foes’ hair on end, breaking spirits even before his axe and teeth bite into flesh. Ghetorix’s bloodlust is slaked only when he stands knee-deep in the entrails of the fallen, his jaws dripping with gore.

The Ghetorix character warpwolf upgrade kit comes in a blister (PIP 72062). The Ghetorix character warpwolf upgrade kit is NOT a complete model. Players will need a Circle Orboros Feral/Pureblood/Stalker Warpwolf Kit (PIP 72057) in addition to this kit. A player may field one Ghetorix in a Circle Orboros army.

Again, Privateer Press knows awesome.

STEELHEAD RIFLEMAN CONVERSIONS

I was reading through the section of the Forces book detailing the Riflemen, and saw that their group is made up of disgruntled soldiers hailing from Long Gunners, Winter Guard, and the like. I started to look through my collection, eyeing up Trenchers and Long Gunners. I didn’t like what I saw in that area. Then I checked out a box of Widowmakers that had ben sitting around collecting dust, and I got to work.

I already have a full unit of Riflemen. So I placed an order with Privateer Press for two sprues of Steelhead Halberdier heads, and two of the one piece Riflemen models. With minimal effort, I have swapped out heads on the Widowmakers, and am pleased with the results. I had considered converting the Widowmaker guns too to make them smaller but dammit I like those sniper rifles!

I probably will not use these models in a tournament because it might confuse those of little brain even if they are told that my Mercenary army does not actually contain Widowmakers and that the models are conversions for Riflemen. However, I am damn sure going to use them in friendly games on G.O.D. club night.

Stormsmith Conversion

Awhile back, I was given a frame of the Empire Wizards parts made by Games Workshop.

When I was looking through the various bits on the sprue, I noticed this wacky head with a long beard and crazy hair. I thought to myself, “Wow, that looks like the head of a Cygnar Stormsmith … at least in the hair!” But at the time, Privateer Press had a strict rule that models could only contain their parts. Well, since now it is that they must contain mostly their parts … I had to do it.

I have six Stormsmith models. Three are painted, and not shown here. These are an additional three that I got for a very good price on eBay. I figure that I might be able to use a butt load of Stormsmiths if I ever get around to fielding a Theme List with Nemo. Anyway, here’s the conversion … a simple head swap.

I like the way he turned out!

A simple conversion using a head swap.

Three Stormsmiths. Center one is conversion.
