Freeboota Ork Nobz

I've just finished a unit of five Freeboota Ork Nobz for 40K. I've a significant sized Ork army for Warhammer 40k but it's in various states of grey plastic, half painted models and old models painted in an old colour scheme. 

I've converted my current Freeboota Warboss from the now old Mega Armour Ghaz model and a Warjack from Warmachine along with a pirate Ork head bit. I really like the nautical theme with an anchor as a big choppa and cannon as a big shoota. 

So of course he had a have a nautical theme bodyguard. For these I used the AoS Ork Brutes kit minus the chest armour to give an old seadogs look. This coupled with the remaining pirate Ork heads really set the whole thing off. 

I'm really happy with how the whole squad looks and has a real Freebootaz look to them.

Arise blog of the past!

Wow it's been a long time and there's been a lot of miniatures under the bridge since my last post.  

Without going into too much detail on which models I've been painting and which games I've been playing,  let's just jump right into what I'm currently painting.  

It's Skarbrand! 

I've been painting the rage machine for about the last month and I'm slowly getting him to a point where he's nearly finished.  The wings are almost there,  the skin followed by the metals will be next.  

Onto pictures! 

The finished wing membranes.

Completed Carnage (Or is it Slaughter?)

I'll continue to post as I continue to finish him off!

First Game of Infinity

Hi all,

so Wednesday is our usual gaming night in Cavan. Last Wednesday we decided to play our first game of Infinity. I was proxying models from Necromunda as my Morat force in lieu of my delivery arriving. We also used the online starter rules to give us an idea of how the game plays.

One of the guys had bought some scenery packs so we used that to get started.

End of my turn one, where I moved everybody forward

Lieutenant has taken a wound and three other members are down!

Unfortunately I forgot to take any more photo's! We had a blast trying to figure through the rules without any rulebook. We had no objectives and I think Infinity might be a game that really benefits from specific objectives rather than a stand up shoot out.

In the end of the game everyone died to a man/alien as my leader shot the last human he himself was killed by the ARO.

We had a blast and I'm really looking forward to getting the rules and mini's over christmas.

Until next time,

Vinny

Starting infinity

Hi all,

My local gaming group have decided to start infinity now that 3rd edition is right around the corner. (Releasing today actually!)

So for the last couple of weeks there has been great excitement between us deciding on what different factions we will pick. In the end I've gone with the Combined army, as I like the look of the Morat models and to that end I've purchased the Morat aggression force starter set.

So I've been doing my best to read up on the rules and watching battle reps on youtube. I'm looking forward to trying out a couple of trial games during the week to work out some of the rules. 

Until next time,

Vinny
