Citadel Arcane Monstrosities - The Dwarf Juggernaut

Must be one of my all time favourite miniature pieces. Tony Ackland sculpted the beast and I believe Michael and/or Alan Perry the crew. I had a painted version up in the Manchester Games Workshop when I worked there in the early, early 80s......it disappeared a few years later to pastures unknown...one day I will find it again as it was never given to the shop, merely lent for display purposes. Grrrrrrr. I did have a spare crew at one point but the evil Orclord (Richard Hale of Stuff of Legends) took them off me on one of his visits many years back as he had the machine but not the crew. I scanned the insert for Kevan, otherwise known as Boki Gromdal over at Stunties so thought it would be nice to share......

Apologies for the lack of, and length of, recent posts however personal issues are dragging me away from things at the moment.....hopefully onwards and upwards in the new year.....

The building bug.......caught again from Salute 2010.....

Back for Salute 2010 I built a few scenery pieces for the Frothers Unite game 'Frotherheim'. Kind of a 'Mordheim' (now defunct, I believe, GW game) meets the uncouth.....as Frothers is renowned for the world over. Or maybe just locally.........anyway, I just found my WIP pieces on my old photobucket account so thought I would share. Once I get some headway into the new building I will post some pics of those as well. Far too early to invite c&c....

The game in progress....a somewhat slimmer (and hairier) me on the right of the pic accompanied by the young Boki Grombal of Stunties fame.

This is the game where I had promised to paint an Otherworld Giant miniature....I had 2 weeks to do it and ended up like this on the morning before getting the train to London....the whole story here.

the buildings blocks c/o the recently tiled kitchen....great fun slicing and dicing mini mosaic tiles with a tile cutter. Messy but fun. The laser cut CD rounds were c/o Ian at Fenris Games...happy to do anything for a buck......

The Well of Doom.........

Barry Minot pieces for the Nymphorium....

This Clan War demon didn't make it past the cleaning up and basing stage....

Froth Towers takes shape...with a Foundry Viking for size....come on down Ragnar Lothbrook....

The tile placement was very laborious but gave quite a 'natural and gothic' feel to the build.

  

   

Inspired by fishing programmes seen over the years....

Plastic Skaven..a lot nicer than I thought they would be....

A watch tower sort of thingy.....

Undead skaven Rat Ogre or similar name...

A good Mordheim site here and it is soon to be PC based...even I might get involved in that.....more details  here.

The figures are not designed for standard slottas and do not come with any - if using them with a slotta you will need to cut away some of the plastic base as the tabs are quite deep. Clipping the tab and drilling & pinning the figure to a resin base (such as the Fenris Games cobblestone base below) is probably the best way of presenting them if you are so inclined! You may also need to clean some mold lines / flash etc.
