Thinling News / War of the Worlds wargame

« on: May 08, 2013, 09:29:48 AM »

I was wondering if anyone else had seen this?

 I quite enjoy the War of the Worlds setting (especially the LoEG take) and quite like the look of this. I've signed on for a starter box and thought I'd share the love. Check out some of the videos and scale pictures- the models are 'true scale' 15mm meaning the tanks and tripod war machines are huge on the table (for a miniature, at any rate).

The Butcher's Cauldron / Bits question re: Cygor

« on: Mar 31, 2013, 07:47:37 PM »

Has anyone tried the big beastmen kit's hands on ogres? Do they fit? Or are they enormous Mickey Mouse hands on even the fattest tyrant?




 Also- I'm looking for a mill stone from the giant kit if anyone has one.

Anyone got one that they're not using? I've got a collection of bits from various armies or, if necessary, cash.

The Gnoblar Market / Classic and OOP Empire army.

« on: Jan 10, 2013, 07:40:38 AM »

Morning chaps (and chap-ettes?), I've recently been clearing a bunch of old stuff I had in storage and have turned up a whole metal empire army. Crazy, I know, but I just forgot it was there and got distracted by shiny new stuff and degrees and careers and stuff.

 I'm not sure if this is the right place to flog it, being an Ogre site and all, but I thought I'd let you guys know and at the same time ask if there was somewhere you'd recommend to try. Ebay is the obvious choice but I like fansites and am happy to put them there first.

 Basically it's 10% painted (quite nicely if I can honk my own horn) but the majority is bare metal.

 There's-
Two cannon, painted.
One mortar, unpainted.
One Hellblaster, unpainted
23 metal Reiksgard (armoured greatswords?) mostly painted, plus an extra champion and banner bearer.
30 Armoured halberdiers, including command, unpainted. These are so rare I can't even find catalogue references, (I lie! - http://solegends.com/citcat1995-6/cat19956p190-02.htm)
7 metal outriders, unpainted
5 metal pistoliers, unpainted
8 kislev horse archers, including command, unpainted.
8 Kislev winged lancers with champion and musician
10 armoured crossbowmen, unpainted.
14 handgunners, 5 painted,
7 knights panther, including a grand master and standard,
5 Knights of Blazing Sun, including grand master and standard,
7 Knights of the white wolf, including grand master and standard.
12 Greatswords + 3 command models.
10 Flagellants,
30 bowmen, including musician and champion.
warhammer quest warrior priest, unpainted,
plastic light, heavens and amber(I think) wizards
Metal Jade wizard on foot.
Kurt Helborg, painted,
2 metal mounted Captains (these might be Elector counts too)
2 Captains on foot
4 Elector Counts (mounted, Marius Leitdorf, Boris Todbringer and two others)
1 Queen of Kislev
2-3 extra musicians and banner bearers,
2 more sets of artillery crew (no artillery, oddly)
Warwagon. unpainted, with all the crew.
War Altar, with giant griffon and Grand Theolegen.

 A bag of mixed shields, including a healthy number of metal ones with an embossed maltese cross.

  The idea was that it was an Altdorf army, so they were all well armoured and equipped, with a good number of warmachines. The ones that are painted are in red and blue, with white and green details.

 I'm hoping to get rid of it all in one hit (it's a full army and thematically united) so if anyone is keen, or knows a good site to advertise it, then let me know.


   Thanks!

Other stuff: Cash please, photos to follow and postage is from NZ but we can try and arrange something.

The Gnoblar Market / W: Mournfang handweapons (clubs) H: Just ask.

« on: Oct 22, 2012, 09:43:56 AM »

I'm looking for the clubs from the mournfang kits (and possibly other bits but those for now). I've got lots of different bits and pieces so ask if there's anything you'd like in return. I've particularly got Ogres (surprise!), goblins, Space Marines, Eldar, some lizardmen and a mix of other random bitz.

Gnoblogs / The Captain's Piratical Expeditions (A Gnoblog of Buccaneering Bellies)

« on: Apr 29, 2012, 08:51:49 AM »

Yaaaaar!

 So I've decided to take the plunge and start a gnoblog. Brace yourselves for sluggish updates, pitiful excuses and occasional ogre models.

 My ogre army is a pirate themed army. I know, I know... ANOTHER pirate ogre army but I've been working on this lot for at least 6 years. The formidable lack of models over this time is why you shouldn't get your hopes up (actually I painted a few other armies over that time and completed a degree so there's some hope).

 Since joining the Stronghold I've seen several threads started about various piratey conversion options so I'll try and answer a few of those and get a collection of piratey references in one place. I'll have a look at weapons, hooks, peglegs, eyepatches and tattoos over the next few weeks.

 Firstly though, I need some opinions. I've recently been working on some leadbelchers and have been having a go at some pirate hats and alternative gut plates. Here're some pictures-







 I'm not sure about the hat but it's the best I've managed so far. The ogre is just a regular grunt so he doesn't have to be super-flash. I'll be trying bigger and more elaborate hats on more important models in the future (probably). The hat is in a basic shape now- there'll be more detail added later.

 I'm also curious about the gutplate. It's an old skeleton shield and I've used the shield badge on other models too (even my avatar!). What are your thoughts on that? I like the badge but I worry that the shield is too flat and isn't 'gut plate' enough. I'm happy to call the flat wooden gutplate a gun-port cover from the pirate ship but I don't want to have to explain that to everyone who looks at the model.

EDIT: Bollocks, this should really be Gnoblogs, shouldn't it?

The Butcher's Cauldron / Iron Blaster/Scraplauncher model parts

« on: Jan 29, 2012, 11:39:49 AM »

I've been vaguely considering picking up an Ironblaster with the intention of building the cannon and creating a new mount for the scraplauncher- mounting it on something a bit more thematic than a rhinox. I'm trying to work out how much of the kit is common to both models, though.

 Can someone with the kit let me know which bits are left over once the ironblaster is built (and vice-versa)? In a similar mind, how much swapping of bits would be required to have an interchangable blaster/launcher?


  Thanks!
