Burrows and Badgers by Oathsworn Miniatures - 28mm anthropmorphic animals

A fox 'Illuminator', basically an armed monk.


A moment of quiet contemplation.


Before going to join my witch hunters
 

Another new(t) gang. Using some 2nd edition creatures, and finally found a use for my otter pirate, by putting together a band of rogues.
Ship's crew of the Sloop 'Tranquility'.

Two on the right you have seen before, Zoe the otter has had her top repainted. Schhimon Taan the Newt Alchemist/warrior was in the Kickstarter warband.

The new figures...
Back LtR: Mal Rathold - Pole Cat captain
          Inara Sierra - Mouse courtesan/archer/assasain
Front LtR: Goatherd Brook - Water Vole priest
           Jayne Korncobb - Shrew Warrior
           River Taan - Newt mystic/age


Side on


Back view


Top down, yes Mal is wearing a pink edged bonnet.


Jayne has been conerted; his hat has been remodelled from a tricorn, a rifle added (Vera), and the original model had a pegleg - so I resculpted his leg and foot onto him!

 


His mum knitted him that hat!
 
A new gang of warriors, a badger and shrew landscherneckt, a European Long Eared Owl, a mouse and mole warrior, plus  a newt knight.


As well as two pieces of objective that came with the Kickstarter campaign.


These arrived in late summer, but time gets away from you


Sculpts full of character


It was almost like they painted themselves


They look like they mean buisness
 
Witch hunter hedgehog (Frau. Fillipa Darkspines) and Shrew Shamen (Ezza Goode)


Run little Shrew!


One hunts witches, one hunts witchhunters...


Not an interesting view I guess

Two more for my collection - an otter pirate and a mouse knight vigilant (witch hunter type).


Slinger and two handed axe.

Soon be in action.


 "In 1072, a crack Kommando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These animals promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Northymbrian countryside. Today, still wanted by the Royalists, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire
The Aachen Team!"
Dededumdededum...

The new figures, from left, Henlor Kremmel, Rat Necronmancer who was being tracked and secured by the Aa tem, when the money ran out. In front of him is 'Face' the Ferret, unit sniper, in the middle, with his ring of striking is BA Barotterous, to his right is Moling Mad Murdoch, and in front is Amiee Amanda, Shrew reporter. 
The front figure is an older, but unused, mouse who by dint of seniority, has become the leader Johann 'Hannibal' Schmidt.

The new gang members.
 
 
Escorting the mage, their arms ready.
 
Nearly all armed to the teeth and heavily armoured.
 
Heavy hitters bright clothes, heavy armour, dark tunnels and dark mages.
 
After two games last week, the gang picked up a shrewzerker from a slave trader, and the shrew was handed down a double-handed axe, as the boss Johann 'Hannibal' Schmidt picked up a mastercrafted greatsword.
 
Their next encounter saw them successfully recover a paychest, inside was enough cash with a +3 bow. This has secured the services of a dormouse archer who is now armed with a magic bow! 

Latest terrain piece, a windmill.
It's a big old multipieced, multi-floored kit, which is bigger than my light box, so I grabbed the first dark cloth out the airing cupboard. Well, not quite dark!


Starry-starry night!


A lot of fun building it.


A few flowers round the back.
 
Adding to two different warbands, plus a spare figure and some scenary
On the left, joining The Denizens of the Well of Ashes, replacing the late Berry Town the Shrew, is former Witch Hunter captain, Benadict Otterbranch. On the right, adding to my all stoat/weasel warband, is Ginny The Weasel, a quick conversion of the Oathsworn stoat shinty player, replacing the shinty stick with an axe, and adding heavy armour and pauldrons.


One watches while the other swings!


Two rather decent fellows, in their own way


Just hard hitters both


I normally spend a long time researching the correct colours for these animals, but, this one is...
Teal... Teal and Orange... Teal and Orange and Brown! A platypus! Perry The Platypus!


Armed with this weird stick that keeps returning to him! He does make an excellent secret agent!


He's a bounty hunter and the cloak is of many furs that did not want to come quietly (don't ask which species).


My windmill


Too big for my lightbox


Just needs Windy...


'Straight outta Trumpton!'


Scenary made from the door pushout of the windmill, a tombstone


Back of the tombstone
 
For no other reason than I liked the figure, a dormouse ranger.


She's just so full of character


Love the detail of her standing one paw on a rock, and her tail curling around it!


Loading...
 
Rach wanted long range firepower in her warband, so she opted for a squirrel archer.
Yes, this is the second one I've painted.


Such a fun pose


Sniper!


Twang!
 
A couple of new terrain pieces and figures
Stoat fanatic


Tried to keep this one simple


Even got the patina on this one


A non-combatant and a new dwelling, more on the other character later...




Signpost points to various locations in our campaigns


The burrow

 
 
A badger for my daughter's warband.
This thing is HUGE!
Lovely details on it too.
Hard as nails and strong as whisky
Prickly Jane's cottage

Back view, it won a prize at local club painting competition.
Smokestack lightning!
 
True scale, hare vs Badger, shows how big the badger is.
A few more beasties.


Clarice the Starling (rogue)


She wore a raspberry beret..


Feathers were fun.


FOCUS!


Baron Blueback, this will be part of my youngest's Xmas present


She's desperate for a game, but wants a frog in her band.


A wealthy dignitary


Mouse landschernekt


That's quite a sword!


Nice details


CHARGE!


Spiny mcTavish and Paws mcTerry for my Wildbeast warband


Spines are hard!


She's one big, tough, wildcat


Faces have come out well


Highclare Hall


Clarice is scoping it out!


That end looks good

 
 
Three more animals for various warbands and some more serious terrain.


Shrew berserker

Ron the Weasel, for my stoat warband


Retired member of the King's Watch

Foul tempered fellow


Cop for!


Dunstalkin' Hall


South end


Des res?


Majestic outlook


With Ron for scale

 
My youngest wanted an owl for her birthday.
Well, that was cool, and she wanted a snowy owl. It's actually a barn owl, but you can get away with it.


I did paint the wing tips and feather tips, but they've not shown up brilliantly.


Back view


Spooky


Top view
 
Three more characters
A roadmouse, a kingfisher (inspired by being buzzed on my walks with the dog along the local canal) and a green lizard, just because I like the figure.


Face on




The kingfisher is narrow!

 
My youngest has been nagging me for a dog soldier (not the film, she's only 9) and with a tiny amount of conversion, here is her Xmas pressie, a female collie by Oathsworn which I have added extra fur to match our new rescue dog Honey (kind of apt, she is a kind of psycho dog)!




Now she wants a game!




Just for scale she's on a 50mm wide base!
Three new characters for Burrows and Badgers

After the battle with the slave trader, one of the freed mice turned out to be a rather zealot witch hunter (L'Otter and Bowie laughed at this, a lot). Darkness hunting was definitley on the cards while Flint Browncoat was with them.


His blessed spear is primed, ready to smite the unholy (or anyone else who gets in the way).


What he doesn't realise is that Bowie has conned him into thinnking it is holy spear for a few pennies.


Not in the Freebeasts of the Well of Ashes, but also in the area is a Mousetagnan, Mouseketeer, a servant of a different king, searching for missing jewels belonging to his Queen. He does not speak the language well, but he fights like a master.




He fears nothing except his allowence being stopped and running out of wine.


Often heard charging into the fight with the phrase "Paw Leroy". No one knows who Leroy is, but they assume he is important.


He is accompanied by a mysterious, pale fox he calls Alk. Maybe it is from Alalb Albulisiu, or 'Bloodhound' in his native tongue, from the Northern shores of Afrika.


An expert fighter and sometime healer, wise in letters and herbology.


He speaks rarely, only to moan about the cold.


Starngly, he eschews beer, mead and wine, even warming spirits, but can track anyone, anywhere!

Joining my Freebeasts of The Well of Ashes, Abbey Berry the Shrew, the young cousin of Berry Town the Shrew who followed him back to join the excitement, and the latest freed save, the Lady Door, a mouse with sharp aim with her sling.


Lady Door is out for vengence on those who sold her into slavery, Abi is just out to make her name!


A formidible pair, who hae already struck up a firm friendship.


Joining my other gangs, in my big beasts along with Kite and Shrew lancer, are:
Lord Corvus D'Raven, a dark Necromancer (and stands about 10cm tall)


He watches over all, waiting for new bodies to experiment on.






From the frozen North, Mac The WIldcat


Heavy armour and dual armed, he's waiting to take on anyone.


Love the pose


I did blow the flock off after this shot!


Sir David of Maklot who will join my Royalist gang, a gift from a friend.


A mouse veteran of many wars


Armed to the teeth too


Who is this young character skipping through the woods?


She can't mean any harm?

Three pieces of terrain for B&B.
Market building


Well




A small dwelling







The Leighton Buzzard crew have all got into this, so I thought I would jump on the band wagon for when/if games get going again!

In our last adventure, my gang picked up a new member, a small character liberated from a slave trader.

Introducing Berry Town , the Shrew. Armed to the teeth and very very annoyed with his previous treatment!


I also picked up a great figure, a Shrew knight errant mounted on a stag beetle!




These are on 32mm bases, which shows how small they are.


Again, they paint up beautifully.


Love the skull and crossbones on the shield


Love the crests on their helms, very Rocketter!

 

A new gang, stoats.


I bought two Shinty stars, one is as it came, but Smalls is sporting the best strip ever, and heavily converted one to a fully armoured Stoat, my gang leader, Sir Dereck, whio has been cruelly thrown out of his home by Royalists while crusading.




Smalls, a Shinty Star, bonus points for guess the team, the year and the strip!






A blurry close up of the conversion work, armour, cloak and belt added, stick swapped for Alternative Armies axe.




The Stoat-Bert brothers. (Neddy, Teddy and Eddy)






Tilda the Ferret rogue, a worthy gang member.






Extra royalists, Maurice the Town Guard, Morise Minor, the Smith and Martyn the Scribe (magic user) to finish the gang.


Illumination on the scroll


Wally, a mercanary Red Kite, complete free agent, named after the Kite that nests near my school.








A mouse-o-leum!









Extra denizens of the Well of Ashes.
The last of my offical starting gang, Sneaker, the mouse ranger






A few others that I either had to buy because they live her, or because I liked the figures!

Sir 'Lucky' Fluffington, a rather tooled up rabbit knight, formally in Royal service.


He's based on my daughter's rabbit




Striker the Sparrowhawk


Quite how he manages to fly carrying all that, no one knows!


Helena, the mouse shield-maiden



The Free Beasts of The Well of Ashes:




Led by L'otter Napaspeur, female Otter mage, who has a grudge against Royalists.





Her second is Bowie, a cat Dualist who does not know how to step away from fight (based on my cat).




Assisting them is Snappy, a squirrel ranger with little sense of self-preservation.





Besides them is Big Ouseux the Sparrow, no one is sure whether the accent is real, but he claims to have arrived from the Pictlands and is definitely of Northern descent.




Lurking behind them all is a rather shy bat known as Batty. Master of poisons and sneak attacks.

The band is small, but has access to many unusual items.

Warhammer Old World - Goblins vs Empire, Batlle of The Hilly Hill

"Oi, where's the rest of the army?" Stumpy Jason turned round to the musician Thumpy Jason. "We's only playing 1000 points!" "Oh right. But why are there more Empire 'ooomans than us then?" the Goblin Wolfrider capatin pondered. Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer Old World. I chose my Goblins, with only 1000 points. This led to me taking a unit of spears, with the army standard, a unit of archers, a spear chucker and some wolf riders. A level 1 mage, my general on a giant squig and Stumpy Jason rounded out my selection. I was tooled up with magic standards and characters, so half my points were tied up in characters. Mort had two units of mounted pistolliers, a spear unit, two detachments , one of handgunners, one of halbardiers, and a small unit of knights. Two characters were embedded in his spears and one pistolliers, and a mage strode forwards with the halbardiers. My wolves and general went left, archers, spears, bolt chucker and...

Mortal Gods - Three Sided scrap - finding the treasure.

Typhon woke up, his head was banging, and there would definitely be a new scar on hi sarm... "Nice to see you can take a knock too!" Leandros looked over at the archer. Polykratos sat on a nearby boulder, helmet and shield at his feet, sword bloodied, he was smiling at his two fellow fighters. "Nice to see you two sleepy heads. By the way, we won! Spartans and Etruscans all sent packing, treasures secrured!" Dave, David and I met up for a game of Mortal Gods. Mark was meant to be joining us, but he had to call off. This is only a quick report, as we were haing too much of a laugh! Six objecties were scattered across the field, which you have to find and hold until the end of turn 5. One would go live on a roll of '6', if an action was expended on it. The others then are empty. Three sides means two corners and an edge. 450 points each. I was nearest, Dave the other corned, David the opposite edge.My standard warband took to the field, with their eyes firmly...
