15mm Fantasy-Plague Horde

I have continued my drive to re-purpose GW fantasy figures.  This time I have created a Plague Horde using Plague Bearers and Nurglings, I really love the look of these figures and they will fit in great with my collections.

The Nurglings will be a melee unit with a poisoned range attack ability.  the poison ability will either give a bonus in attack or a minus to the defender.

The Pleague Bearers are Large Infantry and will have a re-rejuvenate ability like trolls. 

15mm Fantasy-Work In Progress

Continuing the theme of using old Games Workshop Warhammer figures in my 15mm realm here is a picture of a new faction....Chaos/Abyssal Plague Hordes.

The 'Plague Bearers'  will be a large infantry/troll style unit and the 'Nurglings' will be a shooting, spitting venom darts and close combat unit.

The second WIP is a mock up of an Empire Horde unit, under Kings of War.  It's based on the Renaissance Spanish Colunela a combined arms unit of pike, shot and sword/halberd men.  

I have based the numbers and layout on John Roache's great blog http://olicanalad.blogspot.com/search/label/Italian%20Wars.  It's a great blog and inspirational on so many levels.

The figures are Old Glory and Venaxia

15mm Fantasy-Beastman Monster

Another Games Workshop model, an EBay buy, which I painted up, based and will use in my 15mm fantasy realm.  While meant for the beastman hordes it can be used with many armies.

A size comparison between the beast and mere humans!

15mm Fantasy Demon Horde

Again not really 15mm figures but they will do a great job with their immense size coupled with their great speed and agility...

Now these corrupted demon spawn are a fusion of arachnid and demonette that make a dreadful sight as well as a formidable foe.

I would love to take credit for these wonderful figure, however, I can not!!  I bought them off of EBay exactly as you see them.  I all I have done is based them to match my existing collections.

15mm Fantasy Non-Empire....

The biggest martial investment that a state of the Empire or indeed a wealthy city state can make is the construction of a might Landship.....

These are massive steam powered leviathans armed with mighty cannons and crewed by fearless men and sometimes the odd dwarf.

Being heavily armoured they can place themselves into the hottest part of the battle and use their sheer mass to punch large holes through the enemy lines.

The Landships are armed with two might cannon.  The largest mounted in the hull can only be fired when the Landship is stationary but it can basically target anything on the battle field that it can see.  The second is mounted in a rotating turret and can be fired on the move.  The big gun is also a cause of fear to anyone trying to hide behind a city or fortress wall!

Now a Games Workshop Steam Tank looks far more convincing in 15mm as you can imagine the crew inside feeding the steam boiler and manning the mighty weapons.  But that is just my warped chain of though.

15mm Fantasy, Lots of Them

I have been busy re-basing, touching up, painting and finishing a whole wave of of figures for my fantasy collection.  

As it is fantasy not everything needs to be 15mm but the effect on the table, of the various sizes, is visually appealing.

First up is a larger than life drummer....he stands nearly 70mm tall and is based on a 80x80mm base.  He is a giant that will beat the drum to bring the forces of evil to the front and encourage them to close with the enemy. 

I have not decided what army or faction he will support, probably my Orcs of the White Hand which have giant trolls accompany them to the battlefield.

 

Obviously the figure is a GW Lord of the Rings Troll.  he is a plastic figure and I really like him.  I was after one for ages and finally picked one up, at a good price on EBay.

This Rotations Project

This work rotation, where I do most of my painting, I will be focusing on 15mm Fantasy BUT with a difference.

After watching the film, Jack the Giant Killer that came out a couple of years ago I decided I wanted a Giant army for my collection.  So I searched EBay and and bought a pile of painted, part painted GW Ogres.  These I am going to touch up or repaint and then base on 80mm x 80mm, 3 figures to a base.

Here is the box of old Ogres ready to be transformed!!
