OUTGARD

The game of Outgard was in Helsinki last weekend, and it was amazing! It was great meeting new interesting people, drinking beer and looking at fantastic miniatures. We played two games, a smaller one on one game and a huge game with all four players and every model. Check out our Outgard topic on the Ammobunker (link), and the Inq28 painting and modelling page on Facebook, for some battle reports. 

After the game I set the buildings up as a little photo setup, to get some pictures of the warbands. Click the pictures for larger versions.

The first warband belongs to Alexander Lunde. He also made a Wytch and an awesome flying island. 

The next Warband belongs to Eirik Blomman Blomqvist:

Alexander Windberg was the host for the event, and made all the fantastic terrain you can see in the background of all pictures along with his warband. 

Johan Egerkrans (from the blog Convertorum) sadly couldn't make it to the game, but sent these great miniatures to Helsinki. 

Lastly we have my own warband:

Outgard

I'm leaving for Outgard now, with my warband in their personal transport box.

Outgard: Tankhut

The tracked wytch hut I made for Outgard is painted up, and ready to be deployed in Helsinki this saturday. I'm really looking forward to the Outgard game!

I'm leaving for Helsinki tomorrow! You can expect some great pictures of the Outgard warbands in action next week!

Outgard: The King's Champion

My Knight riding a mechanical steed is complete! This turned out to be one of my favourite models in the warband. I was a bit sceptical at first, because the model has some really fancy technology compared to the others. But mounting a Medieval Knight on the robot horse suggests that the people don't understand the technology, even though they have it. Which I think is an important aspect of 40k, and especially the Outgard setting.

The steed is based on Forge World's Mechanicum Vorax Battle-Automata (the robot bugs with miniguns), with a horse head from Tomb Kings. The rider is an old Bretonnia Knight with a Space Marine chest armour, and Gorka Morka mutant legs.

Some Outgard updates

It's just over a week until the Outgard game! I'm almost finished with the last couple of models for the project. 

I practised a little freehand symbol for my Warband on my palette. Even though it was quick and messy, I really liked it and decided to cut it out and save it. Maybe I'll glue it to the top of my transport box. 

The housetank is almost done!

Originally I wanted this guy to be a classic Black Knight. But the black looked a bit boring, so I changed it to a rough stippled blue. I used red as a spot colour to tie the Knight in with the rest of the Warband. 

A game with Red Skullz and news from Nestorian Infstation and Outgard

It's been a while since I posten any of my own stuff on the blog. I haven't been able to do much modeling and painting since Armies on Parade, but I have a few news I'd like to share with you. 

The terrain I've been building for Nestorian Infestation is more or less finished. It has been on my shelf for several months. But I decided to paint a few details, and wash the board before Bigbossredskullz came to my place for a game last week. He has written two battlereports using his new set of rules, a mix of Age of Sigmar and Necromunda. You can read about it on his blog (LINK).

Originally we planned to play a game of Nestorian Infestation. But my Genestealer Cult is currently in England, being photographed for Blanschitsu! Instead we decided to have a classic game of an Inquisitorial warband vs Chaos. He used his fantastic Tzeentch warband, and I used Inquisitor Hannibal Rex and his retinue. 

At the moment I'm mainly focusing on the Outgard project. But when the new Genestealer Cult boxes came out, I couldn't resist putting together a few models. Here are two new characters for my prison themed Genestealer Cult:

As I mentiones earlier the Outgard project is my main focus at the moment. The game in Helsinki is just over two weeks away, and I still have a couple of models I have to finish before the event. First up is my tracked wytch hut. When I saw Ana Polanscak's finished chapel, on her blog Gardens of Hecate (LINK), I really wanted to do something similar. Even though I wanted to build a wooden house, I wanted to give it some 40k madness. I decided to make something like Kris Kuxi's Churchtanks, and started to build the house on top of an old Land Raider. 

I've also started to paint my Knight for the Outgard Warband. More on this guy will come soon!

I'll be back.
