#hobbystreak Day 713 & 714

Made some progress on my #TheIronThistle entry blocking out the colour and adding on some washes.

I also designed the next version of the movement tray now with a flat and sloped version in one.

#hobbystreak Day 712

Finally built the other half of the Dwarf/Halfling Mixed regiment with some light conversion giving some haflings the blunderbus barrels from the Alpine Dwarves.

I also changed some things on the HQs

#kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic
The mixed Halfling and Dwarf rifle regiment. Some close-ups on the Hallfings in the mixed regiment. Some characters for my Halfling Army including a (Dwarf) Engineer and Dwarven Airship captain, nessecary for a later project and the now fully rebased sauceror.

And done! One unit down, three to go. Not so happy with the flock on the base, but that's a lesson for next time. #kingsofwar #miniaturepainting

#hobbystreak Day 704 - 706

Had a busy weekend but I was able to finish the rest of the bow-wielding Wild Runners as well as finishing most of the core cavalry for my Halfling Army sans their heads and bases.

#kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic
The remaining bow-wielding Halfling Wild Runners, while I had originally planned to give them all bows I unfortunately ran out of bits so I improvised with some slings. A group shot of the, now almost complete, core cavalry for my Halfling Army, just missing their heads, basing and a 10-men squad of Chicken Riding Juggers.

#hobbystreak Day 703

I started on my Modular Wild Runners using some Dead Man's Hand bits to represent rifles and building the first of the bows as well.

Next I'll build 5 "filler" units to form a regiment with either option

#kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic
I used some spare Dead Man's Hand bits to build 5 Wild Runners with "Rifles", I'll also be building 5 without bows and then 5 with general close combat weapons to fill out a squad with either option. The first and "Sergeant" character for my 5 bow Wild Runners.

Spent some time batch building all the mounts and rider bodies for the various types of cavalry I might want to add to my Kings of War Halfling Army.

#kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic
The first regiment of cavalry models mounted on their bases. The rest of the 25 cavalry models, not yet mounted on their bases.

After playing a test game of Kings of War with my Halflings a friend suggested using these Clockwork Trap miniatures from Malifaux as markers for the Bear Trap Command Order so I based them up accordingly

Some Clockwork Trap miniatures from Malifaux that I'll be using as marker for the Bear Trap command order for my Kings of War Halfing Army based on suitable bases and basecoated.

#hobbystreak Day 697 & 698

After a test game of KoW I realised that while my movement trays look cool but won't be great in-game due to their size so I prototyped a slimmed down version. I have more ideas so stay tuned for v2

#kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic
The first prototype of my slimed down angled movement tray including a removable name plate and status markers. The angled movement tray with a regiment sized unit as an example.

Finished the rest of the second Regiment of Halfing Braves. I used the Axe & Pick weapons to represent a trained farmer militia led by an elite "Shire-guard"

Its clash of kings this weekend, the biggest kings of war tournament in the world. Sadly, the algorthim crushes the news about it. But its going to be a great weekend! How many other game systems boast 160 player events?! Spread the word! Play kings of war!

I built some Spear-wielding "Shire-guard" to be used to indicate that a Braves Regiment is being run as Spearspikes.

Some "Shire-guard" made using some of the resin shields from the Mantic Juggers upgrade kit.

Finished my last unit for #kingsofwar #clashofkings tournament with 4 days spare 😆 I'm not a natural army painter so this mad panic over last few weeks has been pretty stressful but it's all done now. I'll get an Army Shot™️ later today

#hobbystreak Day 689 & 690

I built the "Tavern Brawler" Braves Regiment and following the theme of allied Dwarves I used some spare bits to build some dwarf units and a champion.

My Sauceror also needed rebasing.

#kingsofwar #mantic #halflings #dwarves #paintingminiatures #nerdlings #mymantic
Using the custom weapon arm I showed a few days ago I put together my first halfling Braves Regiment, a group of tavern brawlers turned militia. Going with the theme of dwarf allies being mixed into my units I used some spare Dwarf parts to build some axe and spear wielding warriors. With the aim to use the latter to field Phalanx units as well. A quick Dwarf leader/champion I threw together. I realised my Sauceror was on the wrong base so I re-based her onto the correct one.

My modeling output is a little sporadic at the moment. Little bits had bobs on the desk with nothing really to commit to. That said, I've been giving the old resin pour a go for my latest kings of war display board.
