Goblin Ships

Goblin ships, one heavy ship and 3 light ships.  They are based on the Dromon of the Byzantine Empire.  

As the ships are of Goblin make they don't have cannon, but do have Ballista's, and catapults, they also have trolls that can throw rocks, which is actually their most powerful weapon.

The Larger ship is Trireme with a larger number of weapons, although the main form of attack is to ram the enemy and send in the warbands to take the enemy ship.

Overall the fleet is small but looks effective, I have yet to play with it and will place any battle reports on Shackled to a Corpse.

The lighter craft are Biremes that still have a powerful ram but not as effective as the larger ship.

Goblin army

 Here is my Goblin army so far, All are from Pendraken 10mm

 The Wargs FG6 are classed as fast cavalry 

 Goblin chariot FG5 I class as light chariots, and can do quite a lot of damage when well supported.

 You cant see the bats very well but the trolls AC10 with rocks and clubs are easier to see, The standard Trolls are heavy infantry and the Rocks are close range artillery.

Goblin Shamen FG12 are simple mage's with a nice crystal for effect, I have blogged about them before.  Best used as ranged shooters or to boost moral. 

 Goblin Wolf riders FG3 & FG4 are basic fast cavalry, I mix the packs to give an irregular look. 

 Goblin infantry are a mix of FG1 and FG8, simple Warband.

 I scratch built some catapults for the Goblin army.

 Light ballisters are actually Games workshop Dwarf Crossbows from my bits box, they are 28mm but look like ballisters in 10mm. 

 Here you can see heavy ballisters built out of 28mm bows.  All in all I quite like the army.

Lizardman ruins 10mm

Needing some easy scenery for a 10mm lizardmen army I knocked these together, they are built to fit bases all the way up and have lots of moss and scaraficial blood too.

10mm Undead army

Here is my new and imporoved Undead army.  To start with I have the commander of the army a Vampire master, in 18th century dress.  The figure is from SYW12 Civilians from Pendrakens Seven years war range.  The skeletons are from Pack FU5 Skeleton command and the wounded soldier on the ground hand raised against the vampire came from AWX1 American war of Independence Casualties.  I painted the vampire/gentlemen with an almost white face, but he most certainly does not sparkle!

The full army deployed, minus the ships

As a mage I am using a witch, a lady from the civilian pack pained up as either a vampire or a witch, with a zombie from pack FU16 pained as a redcoat zombie.

FU21 Skeleton Crossbowmen

Zombies from FU16 & FU17, pained up in drabs and in British redcoat uniforms

A Bombard with Skeleton crew, which is actually scratch built out of Milliput

FU3 Skeleton Bowmen

A Light cannon, not a good angle to appreciate it but scratch built and fun.

The catapult from pendraken is made out of bones and didn't fit my army theme so I scratch built this catapult and used the original crew.

FU4 Skeleton cavalry, although the horses are more Zombie.

Zombie dogs!  Cant get enough of them

A brigantine Galleon with oars for my undead army to find new lands to make ...  Undead.

FU2 and FU19 Skeleton spearmen

FU14, Wraiths and FU13 Vampires

Dwarf Airship / Zepplin

 The idea of a steam powered airship is old hat but I figured my dwarves would enjoy one! 

 The ship is made from cut foam with Milliput over the top, and took alot less time than I was expecting.

 I armed the ship with a light cannon, although i think if it ever fired the craft would  fall appart. 

10mm Dwarf Steam tank

For my Dwarf army I needed something a bit different so went for a Dwarf steam tank.  The tank is made from Milliput over a styrophome shape. 

As I was planning the design I went into some back story and this will be explained later, but in essence it is an Ironclad type machine, with gun ports for a cannon and a Petard on a Spar (for clearing rocks!)

As a model its quite fun, as a weapon its a pain to use but I am still working on it.

10mm Dwarf Arquebus

 I got hold of some nice Dwarves to bolster my army from Triples 2014.  One of the new troop types was FHD8 Dwarf Blunderbus from Pendraken miniatures.   They are nice little models, however for my Dwarf army I wanted something a little more interesting, so I converted the blunderbus into an Arquebus.  Although Dwarven Matchlock, Musket, Hook gun or any other term will do just as well.

 The conversion was done by cutting the end of the gun off, placing a tiny rod for the barrel and adding wire on the underside for strength and to act as a ramrod, then placed the severed barrel on the end.

The finished model looks quite fine, and will give my Dwarf army some much needed firepower
