The Happy Spender: Steampunk Alice and Clockwork Rabbit from Guild of Harmony

I'm working on far to many projects right now so common sense and reason dictate that I probably shouldn't start another one. And I won't. But that is no reason to not start buying really cool Steampunk miniatures. Especially this one:

Steampunk Alice and Clockwork Rabbit from Guild of Harmony

 
Guild of Harmony has some really, really nice Steampunk miniatures. I think I need to revisit their shop next month. And I've seen a few really great Steampunk buildings from various manufactures. (Too. many. projects. Must. resist. temptation...)

The Path to Glory: The Temple of Fate - The third Soul Gem

The experience points for the The Temple of Fate - The third Soul Gem game session:

Battle Report: The Temple of Fate - The third Soul Gem

While the armies of the Empire were fighting endless battles against the forces of the Banelords the Templars ventured again into the deeps of the mountains discover the lair of the third Soul gem. Once again they had to face horrors from the crypt as well as two of the mightiest demons hey ever encountered on the battlefield.

With cunning tactics and maneuvers the Templars defeated the enemies and found the third Soul Gem. With only one Soul Gem left to find they would soon be able to face the Banelord Valak Thul in direct battle.

But beeing so close to this goal and achieving it were two different things.
For the moment the vile Necromancer was still protected by the last Soul Gem and could not be killed without being resurrected through the corrupted powers of the gem. And he was aware that three of his precious gems were lost. He would soon change his tactics and dispatch legions of undead horrors their way. Maybe he would lead them himself. The Templars had achieved victory after victory, but time was running out.

The Happy Spender: City Grounds from Miniature Scenery

I was planning to make my own modular street scenery with foamboard and plasticcard for a Dark Future setting when I stumbled upon the really awesome terrain from Miniature Scenery:

City Grounds

I love the look of the boards! I got myself 2 City Grounds sets. Each contains 20 modular square tiles that can be configured as desired. Here are a few examples I found on the web what 2 of these sets look like in action (shown here with additional terrain and miniatures from various manufactures):

I'm not 100% sure which paint theme I will choose for this. I really like the clean look of some Infinity boards but I think I might go for a gritty dystopian look. We will see. :)

On the Worktable: Corrupters of the Apocalypse WIP I

I made a few WIP shots of my Corrupters of the Apocalypse while I was preparing them to be ready to be painted:

On the Worktable: Three Demon Princes from Games Workshop WIP

I really like the fierce look of the Demon Prince from GW and since there can never be enough large demons on the gaming table I build three different versions of him:

 

 

The armor from the second version was converted to match the fantasy setting and he will get wings but I opted for not gluing them on his back at this stage so that they wouldn't be in the way when I paint him. All demons will be mounted on the chaos bases from Micro Art Studio as shown above but are also not glued at the moment so I can paint up the miniatures and bases separately.

On the Worktable: Creating a Custom Base for the Greater War Demon from Ultraforge

I made a custom base for the Greater War Demon from Ultraforge. The goal was to create a base that would work well when used alongside the chaos bases from MicroArtStudio and I wanted to integrate the rock base from Ultraforge into the design. I used tree bark for the spiky rocks and added a few skulls here and there:

 So far so good. Now I need to get everything cleaned up and ready for painting. :)

On the Worktable: Weathering Effects on Wheelie Bins from Antenocitis Workshop

I wanted to gain some experience with weathering techniques and the wheelie bins from Antenocitis Workshop were the perfect practice objects:

I used the hairspray and salt weathering technique for the rust on the bins (and Vallejo weathering powder to dirty up the garbage). I never tried this technique before and I'm very happy with the achieved look. :)
