Another finished building for Mordheim. The tower is based on the “Wizard Tower” plan from Hirst Arts with suitable modifications. The doors are hinged and the top comes off to allow for gameplay in the interior. Click pics for larger images.

Many many nids are based and ready for painting.
The little stuff is hard to tell apart at this angle but we have 32 Termagants on the top, 18 Gargoyles below on the left, 4 Biovores in the center and 18 Hormagants on the right (and bottom middle). At the bottom of the tray are 15 Tyranid Warriors on the left and 16 Genestealer (with two Broodlords) on the right.
The heavier stuff is easier to tell apart but even more numerous. Top left are 6 lesser synapse nodes, 8 Spores and two major nodes. Middle top column are 6 Dactylis, 8 Malefactors and 3 Trygons. Right top column are 9 Exocrines and 6 Haruspex.
The small stuff one the bottom row are (from left) 6 Carnifex, 15 Lictors, 10 Tyrants, 8 Zoanthropes and 8 Raveners. Mixed in are two Dominatrix, a Dominatrix without Queen (to become a bio titan) and three bio titans (not pictured). With Tyranids I am never sure if the ratios between model types are “right” but there should be enough of everything for decent games.
Tyranid point values keep changing as the custom army lists evolve. Nevertheless, I am pegging this around 11,500 points. Enough to eat a planet… at least a little one.
Well, March was a miserable month on the painting front. My parcel from Maelstrom Games never arrived and hence I had no brown, blue or purple washes (needed to complete any one of the remaining Chaos models…). I only managed 1180 points and four objectives.
18 Khorne Land Transports – 180 points
22 Nurgle Plague Zombies – ~350 points
4 Nurgle Contagion Engines – 325 points
1 Nurgle Plague Tower – 325 points
1 Nurgle Objective
1 Tzeentch Objective
1 Slaneesh Objective
1 Generic Chaos Objective
Lack of painting supplies made me finish a few more grass terrain tiles (4’x2′) and finish a few Mordheim buildings (pics coming soon). But that doesn’t really count for ToEG. Will do better in April…
More objectives. The lack of painting supplies is really starting to hurt…
A quick “generic” chaos objective. I have a god-specific objective for each of the chaos contingent so I needed two generic ones to share between forces. This is the first one (one item, just two pics). The stones are from Hirst Art, the portal itself is a multi-layer optical film from a very old sample that I had lying around. It’s hard to tell from the photos but the film actually reflects light in different colours depending on the angle of view (across the entire rainbow spectrum). It’s also semi-transparent so models behind the portal will change colours when you look through it. Yes, I am a geek.
This is it! No more infantry for the Lost and the Damned (all gods)! I present two units of Plague Zombies. Or at least two units at average unit size. I guess they fluctuate between games…
As a result of criticism on TacComs, here is the slightly reworked Plague Tower (drilled out the gun barrels).
And a quick Slaneesh objective:
A plague pool for the minions of Nurgle. Greenstuff, some old models and a bit of coloured resin.
The mighty big brother of the Contagion Engines. Took a bit longer because of the banner (which is less “monocolour” in reality).
