More Time for Dungeons & Dragons

After my stint in Middle-earth I went back to painting miniatures for my upcoming D&D campaign: a halfling rogue and two dragons! After that I also got to a few more Haqqislam miniatures since I'll be having the next game in our league today.

Pict 725: Halfling Rogue, Topaz Dragon, Faerie Dragon

Pict 726: Halfling Rogue

Pict 727: Halfling Rogue

I really enjoyed painting this miniature and it was finished in about two hours. The scale is around 28mm but rather on the heroic size and I liked the size of the details while painting. Dark Sword really has some of the best miniatures for heroes (not all of them are to my taste but the ones that are really stand out!). I've got some more of them in my to do pile and I really look forward to it.

Pict 728: Topaz Dragon Wyrmling, Faerie Dragon

Pict 729: Topaz Dragon Wyrmling, Faerie Dragon

After that hero, I went over to some more monsters. This little Dragon here is a Topaz Dragon Wyrmling made by MCDM for their Strongholds & Streming Kickstarter. I really like the quality of the models: you do have to remove some moldlines, but the resin is quite sturdy while retaining sharp details. I think I could have pushed my painting a bit more on the stripes but it will do.
The Faerie Dragon is one of the dragon babies that came with the Warhammer Highelf Dragon kit. At first I wanted to play him as a Blue Dragon Wyrmling but the size doesn't quite fit - he's a bit to tiny. But as a Faerie Dragon he will do just fine.

Pict 730: Hassassin Lasiq, Hassassin Farzan, Leila Sharif, Remotes, Ghulam Infantry

And here are some more of my Haqqislam Miniatures. I showed two of the Ghulams in my last post and the converted Lasiq before he had any paint at all. While at it with the Ghulams, I also got to the conversion with the sniper rifle and Leila Sharif. And since I was on a roll, I also painted the Lasiq as well as a Farzan and two more of the chicken-leg remotes. I hope to use the latter during today's game to reveal some camo tokens via the sensor of the Rafiq, but we'll have to see if I manage...

The Rangers of the North are ready for War

These past two weeks I managed to finish the last few miniatures I needed for the armies I'm going to bring to the national Middle-earth SBG championship this coming weekend. I also painted some more miniatures for the Hassassin Sectorial of my Haqqislam army.

Pict 717: Rangers of the North Army

Pict 718: Hunter Orc Army

Here are the two armies I decided upon for this coming weekend: the Dúnedain led by Aragorn and Halbarad, both on horseback, Halbarad with the Banner of Arwen Evenstar. I really like how they all look together as a group an look forward to getting to shoot some evil-doers.
The evil army again is a variation on the hunter orc theme - Bolg, Fimbul, Yazneg and Narzug leading a host of two attack orcs on foot. Only thing I'm missing is a banner and maybe a hornblower. I missed the latter during a game trying them out against Mirkwoodelves lead by Thranduil, who made them all terrifying. The orcs have such a low morale that I wasn't able to charge into batte and had to get picked apart one by one...

Pict 719: Halbarad (Banner, Horse)

Pict 720: Halbarad (Banner, Horse)

This guy really came together nicely. The banner looks very much imposing (I don't quite kow how he can manage to stay atop his horse with any wind, but never mind that). And with him done I now have paited all the miniatures I own for the Rangers of the North armylist and I look forward to using him in some games!

Pict 721: Arnor Bannerbearer and Captain

Pict 722: Arnor Bannerbearer and Captain

Whilst paiting Halbarad on foot, I also managed to finish these two models that were missing for my Arnor force. Since I primarily built them for Battle Companies it's not really a force, but nevertheless these two will now bolster my ranks. I had started to paint them when I painted the Rangers of the North but didn't finish them until now. It's always a good feeling to

Pict 723: Hassassin Fiday, Hassassin Muyib

And here are some more Hassassin miniatures – I decided upon this sectorial for the secod escalation league I'm part of. I somehow managed to win both of my first games and now find myself on top of the table. That pits me against the two best players in the league and I'm sure after that I'll find myself back at the lower end of the table again. The Muyib with Spitfire already did some amazing work while the Fiday pretty much only let herself shot in the back by Senor Massacre who had picked up a Multi Sniper from a panoply.

Pict 724: Ghulam Infantry (WIP)

Lastly a quick WIP of some more Haqqislam miniatures. The Ghulam with Panzerfaust will likely be used as a Daylami with the same loadout to destroy some high armoured targets. The other Ghulam will be a gift to my friend who is organising the league as a birthday present – he wanted to get some linetroops of every army to use as impersonation markers with his aliens and that to me sounded like a great idea!
