Finished the abandoned cannon emplacement. Currently occupied by a couple of Hakbutschutzen. Kristoff and Wulf.
So I have been hunting around for 10mm mummies on and off for a few weeks to no avail.
Then in a moment of clarity I went beyond the first page of search results to Googles second and third pages, and lo and behold… 10mm mummies.I found a blog with some on and noticed the blogs hashtags were #pendraken.
I approached Leon who confirmed they used to make them but no longer.
After a negotiation of undisclosed details took place I have some!!CONS:
They are all the same pose (one arm out)
They are from an old range and are 10mm, rather than the 12mm the fantasy stuff actually is.PROS:
Mummies!!
They are pretty easy to convert, from bent arms, to slightly more bent arms, to the one dude whose arm fell off and he is carrying…A dead range of undead models resurrected:
Thanks!!
😀
Samantha bought this on eBay for me to paint up for her.
Guess what she paid for it?
Original unopened Warmaster Carrion.
Finished my Deathjacks, much more colourful than the normal Stirland uniform…
All done though now at last!
Fingers crossed. Though I am now more Warm Ale and Mud focused. These chaps were needing to be finished.
On with the local lads for Genevieve Undead.
As part of my upcoming Warm Ale and Mud campaign I am looking to get the buildings I need for the locale.
One of the ones I need is an inn with a walled coaching yard.I had an inn:
But no yard, I also need this building as a stand alone building so I didn’t want to rebase it as a bigger model with yard attached.
So I decided to make a coaching yard and make it so it joins the main building but is a removable part.
Nothing exciting but it does the job.
Onto the next.
Thanks, scenery wise a pond.
Models, I need to finish the troops for PART ONE:

Yup, it’s pond. No ducks? (/ducks for cover)
Print me one and stick it in the post!!
Latest unit done, no idea if they will be any use, but the concept of fast mobile archers seems sound.
What is elephant grass?
I am happy enough with the colour as it looks sufficiently wheat fieldy for me, spesh for the price.
It’s a name for Miscanthus – grown for industrial biomass fuel (normally for electric generation rather than direct heating) this side of Scunthorpe.
Looks like this (pic from here):
And horses!!
I have started assembling bits for the baggage camp competition over on the 10mm fantasy FB group.
With there not being a 10mm Plague Cart available I had to make my own.
Not quite like the original but close enough for the effort and obviously still a Plague Cart.
Building up around the integral bases so there is no step, is for sure the bit I like least about 10mm…
Depends. Everything I have tried thus far that is a basing paint/gel/goop shrinks during drying and requires several applications.
Not that I have Warhammer Fantasy Battle in 10mm on the brain or anything…
But we have invested in mug printing stuff and yesterday I printed this.
We played a game of WFB 3rd edition.
3000 points of Undead vs 3000 points of Empire.
It was a good game.
Key Points.
The random terrain generation really hampered me as there was a lot of stuff to block LOS and impede my fast cavalry.
This was the first time I used my Kriegsritter, mounted crossbowmen, they charged toward the enemy catapults, managed only to kill one crew before they were flanked by some wights, the terrible nature of them was too much and the cavalry fled the field never to be seen again.
The Black Coach allowed itself to be charged and thus missed out on causing lots of damage by being the one to instigate the charge, as such it found the mass of the Stirland Helblitzen too much as it was turn after turn pushed back off the table.
Unfortunately, so enraged were the Helblitzen, they failed their Leadership test and followed the coach off the table in pursuit.
So that was them gone…I positioned my mortar behind the woods hoping that even with no LOS it may actually hit something eventually, it did not.
The Direwolves were effective this game, they moved up the field and into the woods where they made short work of the Deathjacks and then followed on to kill the mortar crew.
The screaming skull catapults were again effective, when they hit even if the unit struck did not flee in fear the warmachines still did a lot of physical damage.
My Knights of the Black Rose were good, despite being hampered by woods and so on they managed to do some damage and were a key unit.
The undead vampire spent a fair amount of time in wolf form for speed, but this turned out to be a mistake as toward the end of the battle, when things were not looking too great for the Empire, the plucky and resolute lads manning the last kanone took careful aim and managed to hit the wolf-vampire and succeeded in killing it/her.
This was the beginning of the end, as this turn, Elector Count Alberich Haupt-Anderssen, Grand Count of Stirland, Prince of Wurtbad and Overlord of Sylvania wielding the mighty Runefang finished of the last of the wights.All in all a close game.
Misuse of the Black Coach cost the undead a bit, and unlucky the vampire was blown to smithereens, again the fear rules caused issues on my units and many routed the field.
But victory was ours and Stirland once again holds back the forces of the undead, keeping the rest of the Empire safe.
