Silver Bayonet vampire…

And the vampire hussar Madame La Nuit from Black Pyramid Gaming (who also do lots of useful Napoleonic horror characters). Not a very colourful figure as I went with the uniform for the Deaths Head Hussars, but a fun figure if you can handle the braid and lace.

 

Silver Bayonet ghoul

A 3D print from Etsy, it’s sold as a vampire and I was going to use it as such, but realised the feral nature of the mini lent itself more to the ghoul. The broken plinth is from the Renedra graveyard sprue and just gave it a bit of height.

 

And some adversaries…

And a couple of Goatkin from Crooked Dice. Despite earlier plans I think these may end up doing duty as hobgoblins for the Silver Bayonet.

 

Some quick Silver Bayonet reinforcements…

Not brilliant photos, and the sailor has a really weird face, but a native scout and a sailor as options for the Silver Bayonet.

The scout of course is the excellent Magua from Last of the Mohicans that I did previously for my Folk Horror hunters by Conquest Miniatures. I tried to do a more movie accurate paint job this time round, with black leggings and cloth and war paint. The sailor is from the handy Perry Royal Navy landing party set that provided my Lord Summerisle, Mr z Lennox and Dr Ewan, so as he was kicking about…

 

Some shipping container scatter

 A lazy bank holiday weekend doing some shipping container scatter terrain. I (like many projects) started these a while back…

So, as you may have noticed me mention, space is a limiting factor in all things, no space for any fancy tools especially, so ordered a load of mdf bases in various sizes from eBay. I could have gone foam core, but precise flat edges to mass produce a series of boxes was decidedly meh. The bases allowed a series of boxes, with 2mm foampvc for the sides which would give a slightly taller profile… if I hadn’t then proceeded to apparently keep the foampvc as the base. It’s not really noticeable in the grand scheme of things, just a thing I’d planned to take into account and then didn’t.

The frames were clad with corrugated craft card and the edges were done with L plastic strip. Didn’t have enough to do the seven I made so we’re down to six for now like some shite reality show.

Doors still to be done. These will mainly be for Dredd so they don’t need to be realistic really so may go do some kind of keypad. But some scatter suitable for modern onwards…

must be a blue moon…

 … as apparently I painted something!

OK, I did these back in June I think but didn’t add the grass and tufts until this weekend gone. It’s been quiet over the summer though, job is knackering me and free time is limited. The heat didn’t help. But I did eke some stuff out, including some bark rocks and these fellas… werewolves and a changeling for The Silver Bayonet.

3D prints from Etsy, lovely minis. They’re about the height of a Perry human so not too massive, although I’ve based them on 30mm bases.

The changeling is also a 3D print from Etsy, some kind of Wood Elf creature I think. I absolutely love it and figured it could pass as a changeling as described in the rules, with a more natural magic feel to it. Slender but perfect for a 25mm base.
