Zoontalis - my daughter painted her Axolotls, I painted my foxes.

Easter holidaqy activity, Rach painted her Axolotls


I sculpted the bases for her (she wanted a water theme), applied inks before she highlighted and did the details on the eyes, the rest is entirely her work.


Look, salmon rose!


They are very much her favourite (this week) and gave my Platupuses a kicking on Thursday!


Meanwhile, I finished my guild of foxes


Feisty


These just ooze sneakiness

 Recently, my friend David introduced myself and my daughter to Zoontalis. It's a fast play, four creature aside combat game. The rules are great, but the sculpts they produce are even better.

Rach has finished her next guild - Pandamonium!


All I did was add basing and tidy up after her.


Her choice of colours ties in nicely


These are going to be hard!


They go really well
 
 
My next two Guilds.
Perilous Platupuses and Raging Rabbits


The rabbits


Boing!


Side on

Hunting pack


Platapuses


Decided to add semi-aquatic bases on two


The thief in purple is called Peri! Peri the Platypus


Heavy hitters


Ready to go

Foxes to go for me, Axolotls and Pandas for Rach!

My 11 year-old, Rach, has painted her first guild. Tortoises.


I only offered technical advice, sculpted the bases and tidied up a couple of patches after.


All colour choices were her own


She has done an amazing job!


TMNT inspired too!
 
 
This is my first 'Guild' - The Rat Bags (an insult used in jest in my family when someone does something comically bad).
I also have the starter sets of Rabbits, Foxes and Platypusses to paint up, plus Rach has tortoises she wants to paint.


 
Each guild comes with a mage, a ranger, a thief and a warrior.

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...

Xenos Rampant: Kindred vs Tau, Mission Juliet

"Right chips! Mission is jolly simple, get in, snatch the objectives, get out." "Sir?" "Yes Sergent?" ""What objectives?" 'Well, lads, the Colonel has quite taken by the local antique furniture, he wants a set for his holiday home!" "Ohhh. Siiiiiiiiiiir!" I brought my Kindred, but forgot Snoopy , who would have been really useful for this scenario. Mort suggested we played 27 points. I brought that, I hope he did too. My infantry was upgraded to Heavy Infantry, two with anti-tank, one without, all with heavy weapons, Fray Bentos the Tank was back, as well as the Vickers HMG team. Mort brought his Tau, two large units of heavy infantry with heavy weapons. a unit of drones - lesser Xenos upgraded for shooting, and a walker/tank. One of the objectives Nice table A chair sitting proud in ruins. Two more bits sat on hills waiting for new owners.   The Vickers heavy weapons team heads into the squeltch to give fire support,...
