Ishoo wun-oh-fiv: Necrotite Rig

For countless ages of men, rumours and myths have spoken of this day - the day when TFH finally updates once more! Amongst the pygmy people of the amazon they hold that this day will herald a new age of man, and that we shall all bathe in the sickly green glow of glory. And they are mostly right since it's a Necrotite Rig. At last.
But how easy (not to say time consuming) is the manufacture of such things? Well, apparently not that time consuming, since it's been lying about the modelling room since September and not being worked on.
Anyway, here's Bane Grot to explain.

And there it is! Stand by for further updates about Portheim month - and don't forget, GeekFest 2017 is next weekend!

TFH Warmachine Terrain now on sale at Get Geeked.

Today I have (among other things) been putting the finishing touches on a set of Warmachine buildings for Get Geeked, Wonthaggi's finest gaming emporium! These pieces will be put to good use on the shop's three tables, and will also be available for sale.

Fig one: A farm.

Fig two: the same farm, from the rear.

Fig. three: The same farm, yet again. Possibly they grow figs. I know not.

And now; a cottage. This uses a new technique which I will demonstrate at some point. Demonstrably. About the same time I remember to install the chimney pots.

I've also been mucking around with painting glowing yellow windows instead of black or blue for that welcoming lamplit ambience so essential to all games about giant magical robots beating each other up.

Yup. It's got pipes. Nothing says steampunk like pipes.

 

And now for a townhouse.

I found some wanted posters and recruiting posters online and used them instead of making my own like I usually do.

Sinnbeck's is a reference to the owner of Get Geeked. I like to include little advertisements for whoever comissions terrain on the pieces where I can, and let's face it, 'Get Geeked' just does not sound like the name of a Cygnaran games emporium. Khadoran maybe.

Oooo... chimney. Still no pots I see...

Some sort of unexplained industrial structure.

Unexplained industrial structures are fun, because they often have unexplained additions added later which can make them look very oddly shaped and chaotic. I like this.

You know it's a Warmachine Unexplained Industrial Structure when it has a boiler sticking out one end. Well known fact.

And here's the whole set.

So, if you are in Wonthaggi and at a lose end, drop in on Get Geeked at 149 Graham Street for a game of Warmachine! It's not hard to miss - the shop's hot pink, there is a friendly man with an enormous beard and untold hordes of teens playing card games.

Ishoo Ninty-Nin Bee: Pretty Pictures of Trollkin Huts

Yesterday, being between projects and at a loose end, I decided to quickly knock together a few more Trollblood pieces. So here they are in company with the hut from Ishoo Ninty-Nin.

Ishoo Ninty-Nin: Trollkin Huts

Here it is dear reader, voted into existence by you, and based on techniques displayed by Mr. Terry Mason, winner of the 2011 Annual Terrain Compometition: TROLLKIN HUTS! Yes, it's been a long time coming, but this has been fermenting on the back of my mind ever since that fateful day when Terry won the contest (incidentally, the fateful day when YOU win the contest could be just around the corner - this year's contest ends in a mere three days!).
But, I hear you cry, how hard is it to make a Trollkin Hut? I sometimes wonder why you always ask that question, surely you know the answer by now? It's so easy even a hippo could make it!
Cue Grot!

And there you have it dear reader! It is a simple matter to throw together a whole kriel of these huts over a weeekend and give your Trollkin something to defend.
And what does the future hold? Well, our next ishoo is Ishoo Wun-Hundred, and it'll take a while to get here because:
a: Duelling Paintburshes 5: Duel of Kings will get in the way.
b: Commissions may also get in the way.
c: It's zogging epic.
