Burrows & Badgers: Salvor's Burrow

Finally I build and painted the first of my Sarissa Precision gorgeous terrain pieces, created especially for the Burrows and Badgers game by Oathsworn.

Now, me and Noshi have been a fan of the game since day 1, demoing it even at the last TSA Open Day that took place in 2018 (with a modified, aimed at kis, game), but due to circumstances it all fell quiet a bit in 2019.

Even though the first building where bought at the Crisis 2018 show, it took me until earlier this week to start assembling the first of two of thse small ones I have at current.

Now, I must say I did it a bit wrong with the diagonal supports, apparently you have to force then down a bit further but apparently to some Insta-friends that is a common thing with this building, the other ones in the range are far smoother they say.  Also thanks to the people of Sarissa immediatly responding to my Instagram post about how to best handle the MDF and cardboard combination, which was a first for me tbh.

The little building was then undercoated and painted in those acryllic paints from the Amsterdam range I have been hoarding the last weeks, before being smeared with PVA to flock the roof and front garden.

Some meadow flower tufts from the Army Painter range where attached around the door and front garden parts of the building, as well as the odd small one at the top to give it a bit of contrast in the flocking.

A lovely little building, this is something I`ll really look forward to put on the table, as I am starting to paint up my figures for the game again as well.  I guess the cute little animal toys baby Thorin is collecting are part of the "need" to paint little antromorphic beasties at the moment hehehe.

Now to start assembling one of the larger ones... and probably order the rest of the range of buildings as well ;-)

Hootington, Barn Owl for Burrows and Badgers

It has been a long time, honestly to long, since I threw myself on the excellent figures of Oathsworn's Burrows and Badgers range.

But with the recent release of their campaign expansion (mine is in the post as you read this), I started working on the figures again.

And let me tell you a little secret: Guardians of Ga'Hoole is my guilty pleasure, I think after the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Aliens, that is probably the movie I saw most in the past years.

You see, I have a thing for owls, and ever since the first Kickstarter that launched the game, I have had the Barn Owl in my first order.  It just took scandalously almost 1.5 years before I painted him.

I think though I got him a nice three layer colour scheme on both an earthy brown for the feathers on the outside, and a light grey for the inside.  The armour was done in a golden colour to add some variation in the scheme.

I love this model, and it is the one figure I won`t allow Noshi to claim to put in her warband when we play this again in the future...
