Pendraken Homo Rodentia

Pendraken’s line of stupid, stupid rat creatures has a lot of variety to it. The six types of rat things that came in my dungeon pack assortment barely scratch the surface, but they fit my needs just fine. The gun and bomb wielding packs don’t jive with the dark age...

Leman Russ: Complete!

Gentlemen! Behold! The five dollar Leman Russ! The boy made a very bold choice of color schemes, and I’ve hewed exactly to it. The boy is painting his own little mans, and the one shown here isn’t complete yet.  It’s just here for scale and to show how the...

Swordsrats and Bill and Another Bill

Pendraken DNP7, the dungeon booster pack includes 2 supplies horses. Pendraken ratmen. Not sure what we’re looking at in that last photo. I bought the Pendraken dungeon pack and it came with a nice assortment of ratmen, but it didn’t identify the product number – just a big bag...

Leman Russ: Painting Strategy

Peter D asked a great question in the comments on the last post. It’s such a good question, it deserves it’s own blog post. I didn’t want to hide the answer among the comments. The acrylic paints that you get for a buck or two at the local craft...

Work in More Progress: Leman Russ

The cardboard tank nears completion.  Side sponsons, black paint, white drybrush, this beast is ready for its final paintjob.  In keeping with the theme of the Imperial Guard unit, it’s going to get a green and purple camouflage paint scheme.  Wouldn’t be my first choice, but it’s a commission for my...

Trapped Like Rodentia

The rodents are coming.  Better keep them away from the foodstuffs. FR10: Rats, and DN28: Tables Pendraken figures all around for a bit. With a sneak peak at tomorrow’s post – the first of the ratmen....

The Dungeon: Level 4 – The Lizard King

The Lizard King crawled from the mire of the water pool and wandered The Dungeon for a time before claiming these halls for his own.  He frequently visits the river on the left side of the map via secret (as in: not available to the characters) submerged passages, and...

Pendraken Interlude

How about a group shot of the contents of Pendraken’s DNP3 –  The Rat King’s Lair.  [update: Just realized this photo is missing the two sewer entrances.] That’s 24 figures for less than 10 quid.Try pulling off that trick in 28mm. I’ll have better shots of each figure in a few days....

These Orcs Aren’t Going to Kill Themselves

I’d have a lot more stuff to post if this horrible, horrible time sink didn’t steal all my time: Of course, I’m not guiding this smug bastard through normal Nightmare difficulty, oh no.  That’s for chumps.  I’m playing the game on double secret Nightmare.  That’s where you play a...

Work In Progress: Leman Russ

Spent the Easter weekend working on another addition to my son’s Imperial Guard unit.  This main battle tank costs upwards of fifty bucks in the store, but you can cobble your own together with a bit foamcore, a little plasticard, and a lot of patience.  This is the result...
