Contrast Paints on Skeletons

This is my first attempt at using the GW Contrast Paints. I tried them on a Reaper metal skeleton with two crossbows. I spray primed it months ago with Army painter Bone primer then tonight I painted with Contrast Skeleton Horde. After that dried (very fast) I block painted the crossbows Reaper Master Series Acrylic Drift Wood (light brown) and Army Painter Gun Metal as appropriate plus GW Bubonic brown (Ocher) for the shaft and a dot of red for the feathers. Next the gun metal was over-painted with Contrast Basilicanum Grey, and the wood with Contrast Snake Bite Leather. I was surprised at how much darker the Snake Bite Leather made the wood, plus a bit blotchy, probably as there was no grain detail. It is probably a good thing the wood is dark as it provides contrast with the bone. The only highlights done so far are on the arrow shafts.

Club Christmas Holiday Game 18 December 2020

 SAGA Age of Magic December 2020 Christmas game

I have not been providing may AAR as I simply have not had the time, it comes down to prep and play games or write AAR, not usually time for both .  So here is a very late AAR. 

Shortly before the latest lock-down was imposed I got a chance to play a SAGA Age of Magic game along with a Festive Indian meal, all with social distancing and masks at my local games club on Friday December 18,2020.   This time I tried out the Lords of the Wild Board using my Wood Elves.

SAGA Age of Crusaded November 20, 2020

 SAGA Age of Crusades November 2020

This is my  AAR from November 20, 2020 of a SAGA Age of Crusades game held at the Ottawa Miniatures Games club.

Initial setup

The game featured my Norman / Sicilian Crusaders versus Spanish Crusaders.  I will let the pictures tell the story.

SAGA Age of Magic: Undead versus Iroquois: Halloween theme game, October 2020.

Apologies for being a bit late in posting this Halloween SAGA Age of Magic (AoM) game report.   This was a second match up between these two opponents: the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Undead board) versus an Iroquois war band (Lords of the Wild board) fought on October 12, 2020 using SAGA AoM rules. I added some Halloween scenery as appropriate for October.  This was a basic encounter scenario with the objective of killing the other sides warlord.

The Four / Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse by Reaper Miniatures as used in SAGA Age of Magic.

 These are the Four  Horsemen of the Apocalypse by Reaper miniatures, which are actually five figures as I added in the Reaper Harbinger figure.

 

Above Reaper: 1) Plague, 2) Harbinger, 3) Pestilence, 4) Famine and 5) War

I have recently used these figures when I was playing SAGA Age of Magic (AoM) with the special Undead options for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. In SAGA AoM the four horsemen are: Death, Conquest, Famine and War.   As you can see the Reaper designations shown above and SAGA AoM designations don't match exactly. Nor do they match to the Biblical descriptions (see later on).

 I picked riders number 2,3,4 and 5 pictured above to use as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as designated by SAGA AoM: Death, Conquest, Famine and War.  I use figure number 1 on at the far left on the wolf as an alternate SAGA AoM Four Horsemen figure as: Conquest or War. 

 

Bolt Action September 18, 2020

Catching up on posting some games from the past few years.  This was the first Bolt Action game I had played for some time and the first time back at the games Club since the COVID-19 pandemic lock-down began on March 13, 2020.  This game took place on Friday September 18, 2020.

SAGA Age of Magic: Iroquois versus Undead August 23

 SAGA Age of Magic Game: Iroquois Warband Versus the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

 After a long enforced break from gaming due to the Covid-19 social distancing rules I got my first game in since early March 2020, on August 23rd.   It was a two player  SAGA AoM game with my Undead Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse warband fighting a friend's Iroquois warband.   With the long lay-off from using the rules we were a bit rusty so it was slow going at first and we made a few mistakes. Nonetheless it was good to get back to playing SAGA and to put some of the figures we has been painting on the game table.   

Fighting toward the end of the battle

 

Warlords of Erehwon

Another new Fantasy rule set I purchased, the Warlords of Erehwon by Rick Priestley.  It is for "warband" size games of 5 to 12 units (5 to 10 figures each on average) or between 500 and 2000 points, which would translate to around 30 to 100 figures so smaller games than mass battle fantasy.

It looks very promising, and I have always enjoyed Rick Priestley's rules including: Black Powder, Hail Caesar, Warmaster, Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) 3rd and 6th editions.  Warlords of Erehwon are well supported by Warlord games, the author and a Facebook group. Unlike certain other games is it not structured around army lists based on figures exclusively made by the publisher.  Plus the army lists are included with the rules, so no army books to buy.  Rick is adding new warband lists for online download plus the information is provided for players to create their own lists, for example the author sent me a guide on how to create a Dark Elf list (IMHO they should have been in the rules originally).  In addition to the rules and figures you will need d10, pin markers with numbers and Warlord Order dice as the rules do not use the traditional IGOUGO turn sequence.  The point system looks similar to WFB 3rd and 6th Edition so I can see these rules working with the Mighty Empires WFB campaign rules.

Here is a summary of the rules from the Warlord of Erehown rules from the  publisher.

God of Battles

I bought of copy of  God of Battles by Jake Thornton (published 2012) from Wargames Foundry some time ago.  It is a rule set for using 28mm figures in "mass battles" involving between 50 to 200 figures per side which encompasses war-band size battles and small mass combat battles.  I have been recently looking it over an it seems to offer some real promise.  In particular the turn sequence of alternating between players units rather than having one side move and fight all its units then the other (traditional I Go You Go). This seems to be a trend that is catching on as I believe a recently released mass combat fantasy rule set called Oathmark also uses this turn sequence.  Units in God of Battles fight as units not individual figures (avoiding buckets of dice)  but casualties are recorded by removing individual figures. The Army lists for God of Battles do not entirely fit my figure collection as it is based on Foundry 28mm fantasy figures rather than Warhammer Fantasy Battle Citadel miniatures which make up most my collection is (plus some Reaper, Grenadier and other miniature manufacturers). However the rules are designed to be flexible and allow the use of miniatures by any company.   There is a work around solutions for the lack of a Dark Elf Army list as those figures work for other lists in God of Battles.  In particular the intriguing new army lists such as the Sea Elves and the Godless Hordes.  There are also no extra army codex books or special dice to buy!

I still plan to keep playing SAGA Age of Magic while using  God of Battles for larger mass battles.  I am also waiting the release of Shadow Storm (Hail Caesar Fantasy) another mass fantasy battle rule set.

Unknown Citadel or Marauder Elves - Oldhammer

Three Citadel or Marauder Elf figures

The centre figure looks to be a Citadel C09 female Dark Elf Mace Girl sculpted by Bob Naismith  for Warhammer 3rd Edition from around 1986-1988.  The other two female figures look to be of a later  vintage, possibly made by another company like Marauder (an off-shoot of Citadel) and not  Dark Elves?

Kings of War Campaign

  Update April 22, 2020 Fantasy Map Campaign Idea- Online

March 30, 2020: Since we can't get together due to the physical isolation required by the Covid-19 virus outbreak.It seems like a good time to resurrect my idea from February 27, 2017 for a Kings of War (KoW) campaign but now as an online Fantasy campaign using either: KoW, Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB)  Mighty Empires,  SAGA Age of Magic (AoM) or Hordes of the Things (HOTT) rule systems.

All of four of the rules systems above have campaign systems for their fantasy worlds, but some work would be needed to make them work for an online campaign.  There are PDFs for the WFB Mighty Empires and KoW campaign rules available online but for SAGA AoM and HOTT the campaign rules are in the actual hard copy rule books only as far as I am aware, but there may be PDFs available online somewhere.

The first challenge would be creating the map, I do have paper tiles from Mighty Empires I have downloaded that can be used to create a map.  There is also the KoW campaign map below  for  "The Winter's Flood" designed for a Mantic campaign in 2017 that could potentially be used if I added some grid references.

The WFB Mighty Empires system is the more developed rule system having been around since 1990 and the full original version is 64 pages.  This version and shorter ones can be found online, and I have a hard copy and PDF of the 64 page version and the shorter ones.  The longer version is likely the best as it will have more detail on the board game / campaign aspect as we won't be able to play the actual miniature battles generated by the campaign. The rules have a system for determining the outcomes of the battles without a miniatures game.  Here is a link to the 64 page PDF.

Assembling and repainting the Jabberwock

I bought this poorly painted Jabberwock, with one of its two wings broken off, via  eBay that I plan to strip and repaint.

Jabberwodk as he looked when I started

 What will I use him for?   Possibly for Warhammer Fantasy Battle 3rd Edition as a Dark Elf Monster or in SAGA Age of Magic as a scourge monster for my Dark Elves.   But back to the assembly process.

Paint Removal made easier with a Sconic cleaner and Super Clean Purple

Since I buy a fair number of poorly painted miniatures off eBay  that I strip the paint off to repaint I also spend a fair bit of time removing the paint.  Over the years I have tried a variety of different removal agents listed from mildest to most toxic / caustic: Simple Green, Rubbing alcohol, acrylic brush cleaner, Super Clean Purple, Poly-S paint remover, spray on paint remover or furniture stripper, acetone and lacquer thinner.    The more toxic substances (oven cleaner, spray on paint remover and Lacquer thinner) seem to work best but they are dangerous and unpleasant to work with.  Some cleaning liquids work better than others depending if the figure was primed with solvent based paint, or if enamel or acrylic paint was used and varnish.  In terms of effectiveness balanced with not creating a toxic hazard Super Clean Purple has become my go to choice, with oven cleaner for really stubborn paint coats. You need to wear gloves with all of them plus adequate ventilation and / or a respirator mask for Oven Cleaner and the more toxic liquids.  There is often a considerable amount of scrubbing that needs to be done with an old toothbrush or other stiff brush plus digging out paint from crevices with a dentists tool or etching tool. It also usually takes 6  to 24 hours including soaking time.

I was curious if the sonic cleaners I have read about would make the process easier.  So I purchased Magnasonic Professional Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner with Digital Timer and used it with purple Super Clean liquid in the bath to see how it would work on an old figure I wanted to strip.

Dark Elf Skin colour

Interestingly when I look at the background information on Dark Elves in the third edition WFB rules it talks about them wearing dark clothes, but I don't see any reference to their skin being any lighter than other varieties of elves (Wood and High Elves).  The implication being to use the Citadel Elf Flesh colour produced at the time (late 1980s and early 1990s). Most of the pictures in White Dwarf supported this idea. However by the time the 4th Edition codex came out in 1995 there is a reference to Dark Elves having pallid flesh although the pictures still showed typical elf flesh.  The move to really pale flesh did not seem to happen until the next Codex for the 6th Edition in 2001 primarily with Witch Elves and harpies and continued in the 8th Edition codex in 2008 and for AOS.  Basically the Dark Elves have gotten paler over time.    

In the past I have used Citadel Elf Flesh washed with the Citadel or Reaper flesh wash (reddish brown) and then highlighted with a mix Elf Flesh and white.  With the latest batch of Dark Elf figures I am painting I want the skin colour to be a little  paler. I am not going to re-paint finished figures in regiments or heroes as all races can have variations of skin tone, just thinking of this for new regiments and heroes.

Dark Elf General and Sorcerer

My next Dark Elf Old Hammer painting project (actually running simultaneously with painting the remaining crossbow Dark Elves) are some late 1980s command figures: a Citadel C13 Dark Elf General on a Cold One with a matching foot version and a mounted Citadel Dark Elf Sorcerer on a Cold one.

More Dark Elf figures: Harpies

These are the Citadel Iron Claw Female and Male Harpies sculpted by Bob Olley and produced sometime between 1988 and 1990 for Chaos and / or  Dark Elf armies in Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) 3rd edition. They would also work well for Greek mythology based games or SAGA AOM.  Back in the early 1990s I bought 2 blisters of them giving me 4 harpies, they were pricey then but I wish I had bought more as they now for for inflated prices on eBay.  There were originally 4 different versions but only 3 were released with wing variants. Anyway they are now finally painted and ready for the gaming table. Take a good look at the faces (more on that later).

Unidentified Undead Command figure

I bought these 3 Citadel Undead command figures off eBay in January 2020, I know the two on the right (skeleton standard bearer and musician with horn) are Citadel 4th Edition Undeaded figures from the early 1990s but I can't find any information on the one on the left.   He looks to be a skeleton command figure in armour, possibly 3rd or 4th edition (1985-1993?). Even looking on the Stuff of Legends webpage that has a very good listing of Citadel / Marauder figures did not help.

Wish to identify the figure on the left.  
They have all been stripped of paint and are ready to be repainted

It would be helpful to see a picture of it painted from the time period as it is not clear to me if the hands are bone or rotting flesh.  In the above picture the painter has opted for rotting flesh.

Invasion of the Dinosaurs

One of the Doctor Who scenarios I wish to run is Invastion of the Dinosaurs featuring the Third Doctor.  I have started acquiring and painting various Dinosaurs, and of course I have the third Doctor.

Looking for a leader figure for my Skeleton scythe warriors

I think one of these three Citadel C17 figures will work as a leader for my Grim Reapers company.

Dark Elf Crossbowmen and Friends 3rd Edition WFB

I decided to get the twenty Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB) 3rd edition Dark Elf Crossbowmen that have been sitting around partly painted since the mid 1990s painted. My plan is to have two  regiments (10 figures each so technically squads) each having slightly different but related colour schemes. I have always thought the figures from Citadel for WFB 3rd edition (Citadel and Marauder) were some of the best, with the ones from 6th also being pretty good.  There are exception  from other editions like a small number from the 4th Edition.  As for the rules and army lists none are perfect but I think 6th was the best followed by 3rd, but ideally I would take bits and pieces from both (although that is not practical in most cases).

This is how my template figure looked when I put on the shelf in the late 1990s in a blue livery, I was thinking the second regiment would be similar but in Liche purple instead of blue to distinguish them.

My 3rd edition plastic Dark Elf
crossbow figure in blue livery.

I like the way he looks in his dark blue livery and light coloured leather armour, but is he really sinister enough to represent a Dark Elf?  I think he needs to be a bit darker.

More painted Undead troops

Coming off the production  line for my 28mm Warhammer / SAGA AoM/ KoW Undead armies. starting with a Grenadier Emperor in Palanquin  along with, a Citadel WFB 4th edition Skeleton Wight Lord, and two RAFM  skeletons acting as crossbow commanders after they were  converted  by slinging crossbows over their backs.

Unknown mounted Witch Elf.

Not sure the exact catalogue listing or name of this Witch elf on a Cold One metal figure in the centre of the picture below, it  looks like a Warhammer Fantasy Battle 3rd edition figure by Marauder from the late 1980s or early 1990s.  But I could not find it on the Stuff of Legends Lost figures webpage.

The cavalry figures on the left are Marauder Dark Elf Doomsteed cavalry and on the right 6th Edition Witch Elves.

Preparations - Cangames was 2020 now 2021 - Let's Get Hitler

 Preparations: "Let's Kill Hitler" Scenario for Doctor Who the Miniatures Game

Update: April 3, 2020

Sadly due to the Covid-19 Virus (Coronavirus) Cangames 2020 has been cancelled and will not be held again until next year in May 2021.  I have been informed the theme of "Portals / Lets Get Hitler" will remain the same for Cangames 2010 so my scenario will also remain the same with a new target date for mid-May 2021.  On the bright side it gives me more time to work on the buildings.

Cangames 2020 - Let's Kill Hitler Game plans: March 16, 2020

My original plan for Cangames 2020 (May 15-17, 2020)  Doctor Who game,was to run a continuation of my game from the 2019 Convention where the Sea Devils captured the Naval base, this year the Human forces would attempt to retake  base from the  Sea Devils.  However my plans have changed, and I will join in with other members of the Ottawa Miniature Gamers Club to run a series of connected games with the themes "Get Hitler" and "Portal". 

The game will be very loosely based / inspired by the Doctor Who episode "Let's Kill Hitler" featuring the 11th Doctor, Amie, Rory, River Song  and Hitler.

SAGA Age of Magic - Clash of Warlords - Norse versus Chaos Minotaurs

The Game that Almost Never Got Played

This was a 2 player SAGA AoM game played on Sunday afternoon March 8, 2020.  It almost never happened as my power went out on the Friday evening and did not come back on until Sunday morning.  It was not clear when the power was going to come back on (the outage was caused by a fire at a nearby substation) and I was thinking I might have to cancel the game.  But when the power came on Sunday morning I got to work prepping and after a lot of last minute rushing to get the game ready but we had to bump the start time back an hour.  This was a battle between Ted's newly painted Norse / Viking warband (Grate Kingdom faction) and the Chaos Minotaur / Beastman warband (Other World faction) I had prepared for my friend Bernhard to use last game. Since Bernhard was not available I decided to try out the Chaos Otherworld warband myself as I have never used this faction or the miniatures.

Adding doors, glass shelves and lights to Pine Cabinet - March 1, 2020

Subtitled: the Never Ending Cabinet project.

February 1, 2020 

My game / work room looks like it is under construction!  I have had to take a break from hosting games for the last few weeks first due to a flu bug then an ever growing construction project to add two new glass shelves to my pine cabinet. The project began in late January 2020, although I had purchased the shelves and doors around January 2019.  It is amazing how much time it takes and mess it creates to add new shelves, especially when a router is involved to shape the wood to hold the shelves.  I of course had to empty the cabinet and you can hardly see my game table as it is covered with the contents of the three shelves.  I now have five shelves, including the two new glass ones but the supports need staining, and finding a matching stain for a 30+ year old knotty pine cabinet is a challenge!   Next I plan to add on some Ikea Morliden glass doors while I have everything off the shelves.

Cabinet contents on my game table, you can see
 the cabinet shelves that have been installed on

Despite all this I did manage to get a game of SAGA Crusades on Sunday February 2nd at my local club (OMG) and will post a short AAR when I get the time.

Snow Storm February 27, 2020

Working from Home

Glad I was able to work from home today thanks to remote access via my lap top.  Ottawa was hit by what may be the biggest snow storm this year.   The predictions were for between 20 and 40cm of snow, but some of it came down as rain overnight.   It may look pretty but it is very wet and heavy making it a pain to shovel.  It put about half of Ottawa's new Light Rail Trains out of action making commuting an unpleasant task for those stuck taking public transit to work and those driving did not have a pleasant commute either.

My Lilac tree first thing this morning

Time saved on commuting can be put to use on putting figures back in my refurbished cabinet.

SAGA Age of Magic - Battle Royale - 23 February 2020

Battle Royale:  4 player game - Sunday afternoon

This SAGA Age of Magic scenario "Battle Royale" was planned for 5 players (although designed for 3 to 4 players)  but as it turned out we had 4 players. Each player had a 6 point warband, the playing surface was a 4' x 6' mat on a table the same size.  We played the game upstairs in my living room rather than in my usual gamming room downstairs which meant  space was a little tighter, but the natural lighting was an added bonus. 

The Battle Royale scenarios calls for players (after terrain set-up) to take turns placing their units one after another until all are deployed, none can be within M (6") of an enemy.  The objective after 6 turns is to have the most points which are based on the value of your surviving units plus a point for each charge you conduct.

A scene from the battle

SAGA Crusades Game

This was my first SAGA Age of Crusaded game, it was held on February 2, 2020 at my local games club  the Ottawa Miniatures Gamers OMG).  As I am new to this time period I had to improvise to create an appropriate army so I used my 28mm Bretonian WFB collection of figures for the most part.  Hopefully I will have a purpose build / painted army next time.

My 6 point army was a Crusader Army from Western Europe. It consisted of:

1 warlord mounted,  
1 x 8 foot Hearthguards with heavy weapons / halberds, 
1 x 8 Warriors with bows, 
1 x 8 Warriors with spears
1 x 4 Hearthguards with spears & swords, 
2 x 4 Hearthguards with spears and swords 

My opponent had a Saracen army of mostly mounted figures which put me at a disadvantage in terms of mobility.  The victory conditions called for each side to nominate an enemy unit that would be worth double victory point if destroyed.

Initial set up in the Desert

Mars Attacks

Inspired by a friend's idea last December that Martian's might make a good "enemy" in my Christmas game versus Santa's forces I took a look on line to see what was available online. It would be too late for Christmas 2019 but it was worth looking into for Christmas 2020 or other games. As a result I  bought some Mars Attacks figures I found online, I now have 18 Martian figures (10 grunts, 5 Marines, and 3 Martian characters).  I enjoyed the movie and the figures look well detailed and accurate.  Even thought the Martian figures are made of box game type soft plastic I think they will paint up well based on pictures and videos I have seen on line.  They should make for a fun game versus opponents such as my: Copplestone Men in Black, modern U.S. Marines, modern British Marines or even UNIT troops.  Not sure why Mantic stopped producing the Mars Attacks game or if I will use their rules (which I found as a PDF online) or some other rules like: Pulp Alley, Gaslight, Future Wars, INEPTT or DWMG.

My collection so far.

SAGA AoM 5 January, 2020 Multi player game

Holiday Game

January 5th was the 12th day of Christmas so one last chance this season to use my Christmas themes figures.  This was a multi player game with 4 players, the scenario was called "Brother's in Arms"-  where two sides of two warbands face off against each other on a 4' x 6' playing area.  Like the last game the objective is to get as many of your units on the other sides half of the board while taking as few loses as possible and inflicting as may loses as possible on the enemy.  However this time I used an optional rule to give the game a little more "spice" by adding in 3 objective markers.

This was the main objective:

Santa's Sleigh on the hill

The other two objectives were Christmas drums about 10" away from the main objective on either side of it along the centre line. This time around I played  Jack Frost Warband.

A list of games to play in 2020

New Years is a time for lists so here is my wish list of 16 games to play in 2020 plus a long term plans for a siege game (#17). Some of the games are hold-overs from last year.  As usual I suspect I will be lucky to get half of them done, but at least I have something to strive for.  There is also  the possibility of a new game being added to the list (like SAGA Age of Magic) got added to my 2019 list) or an older game making a comeback like Sharpe Practice, War of 1812 or a Superhero game (#18).

Brother's in Arms Scenario

This was my first attempt at a SAGA Age of Magic (AoM) multi player game intended for 4 players, the scenario was called "Brother's in Arms"-  where two sides of two warbands face off against each other on a 4' x 6' playing area (my Frostgrave mat).  The objective is to get as many of your units on the other sides half of the board while taking as few loses as possible and inflicting as may loses as possible on the enemy.  

This was also the first time I got to use my new camera on my new cellphone, which produced much better pictures.
