Welcome to another Work in Progress Wednesday. A big thank you to Andy for looking after things last week.

We start this week with some Quar from Tony F, these were a few spares he had on a sprue and decided to make them into shock troops, or as he called them ‘Quaratroopers’.

Moving on and Marcus W has started painting up some frozen terrain pieces. I believe these were 3D printed.

Next up and Chris St looks like he’s fed up with the neighbours given the amount of fencing on his workbench.

Next we have Andy and continuing progress on his Sci-fi forces. Firstly Einherjar space dwarves.

And the camo patterned Sneakfeet in support.

And lastly for this week, I’ve started on some sci-fi crates. These were some sort of octagonal wooden beads that I picked up with the idea of making more scatter terrain. I’ve added a few pieces of tarp and will no doubt be painting them in bright sci-fi colours.

And so we will see you next week for more progress from the members.

Welcome to another Wednesday, we start all at sea with marcus and some more terrain scatter pieces for the bottom of the ocean.

I think some of these will also double up as objective markers.

Moving on and Phil gives us a glimpse of his Lord of the Rings production line. As well as the legion of 10mm orcs already painted, we can see here more engines of war and various trolls, going through their painting stages.

And last but not least for this week Andy has made progress on his Einherjar and Sneakfeet army.

And with that we will see you next week.

Welcome to a new Work in Progress Wednesday post, we start this week with a sci-fi theme. In an attempt to recapture his youthful gaming days, Stephen has been painting up some mechs for a game of the original Battletech. Some of these mechs are even the Iron Wind Metals and not the newer plastic versions!

Staying with sci-fi and Andy makes a welcome return with some more Einherjar space dwarves to add to his growing army.

Moving on and John L has for us some newly 3D printed Anglo Dutch ships of the line. Always nice to see the naval gaming making an apperance.

And lastly for this week, more Quar! I’ve finished painting my converted italian tank, for my Quar Gwynt army.

And Tony F has gone for basing up some fruit trees. We often have trees, so a nice addition for some still bearing fruit.

And with that we will see you next Wednesday.

Apologies for skipping last week, a combination of busy schedules and the heat catching up with us meant we missed a week.

We start this week with Stephen, who has finished painting up his two AT-ST walkers. These are 3D prints to fit with 15mm miniatures.

Stephen has also been painting up some scatter terrain with these oil drums and crates. I believe they are from Debris of War.

Moving on and I couldn’t let Phil have it all his own way, so I’ve started painting 10mm Lord of the Rings Easterlings. This represent about 15% of the total force to be painted up!

And last this week marcus has also been painting up some crates and a power loader miniature.

Marcus has been basing his on clear bases so that he can use them on a variety of terrain set ups.

And with that we will see you next week.

It’s Wednesday so let’s see what the membership have been up to this week. We start with more Quar and Mark J’s completed Fidwog unit.

Staying with the Quar and Tony F has converted a WW1 toy tank as a tractor for his forces.

Heading to the depths now and Marcus W has been creating some terrain for his underwater adventures.

I must remember to ask Marcus where he obtained these various pieces of terrain. Normally the local Aquarium shop is the source, but these look much too detailed.

And lastly for this week Kim has continued painting up more buildings for Traitors Toll.

Going to look great when all the buildings are together to form the town for the game.

We will see you next Wednesday.

Welcome to another Work in Progress Wednesday. We start this week with Eric who has been using the slap chop painting method to good affect on some Dreadball players.

He has also used it on some fantasy human guards.

Next up and Stephen has started in some 15mm Star Wars 3D printed AT-ST walkers.

Moving on and Phil has started on some 10mm Lord of the Rings trolls. I’m sure there are many more of these to come!

Next we have Mark J who is continuing his build of the Arnhem bridge, loving the rivet detail on this.

Marcus continues with his underwater themed gaming, this time he has put together a sunken ship.

With the front and back halves split as they sit on the sea bed.

And with that we will see you next weekend.

Welcome to our Work in Progress Wednesday Quar Special

We’ve had a number of members getting into playing Cash of Rhyfles and collecting Quar miniatures this year, we thought we should do a blog post all about it.

We start with my Quar, I went for the Gwynt faction within the Royalist camp. I went with the red/orange uniform scheme as shown in the rules. I’ve also been building my own imagined Quar houses, that you can see in the main picture.

In the Clash of Rhyfles game you get a number of ‘pluck’ points to help you, so I decided to build a Pluck counter complete with Quar taking a well earned break.

Stephen went for the Coftyrans, also Royalists and has also embraced a bit of converting by making this war correspondence.

He has also been picking up some tank models to go with his Coftyran infantry. Rather than go for the official vehicle models he decided to go for an early tank that looked the part.

Moving on and Mark J also couldn’t resist and went for the Fidwog Royalists, their normal squads come with single Quar tankette’s, and keeping in with the spirit of the game, the tank has a side tray with complementary bottle of wine.

Tony F has not been idle and picked up these from the local aquarium stockist, and with the aid of a couple of chimneys , doors and windows has created some houses for his Crusader forces.

Phil also went for the Crusaders and here we see a few specialist units. Firstly the bicycle riding Cook who also doubles as a medic.

And a Squirrel handler complete squirrels to assist in battle.

And again using his imagination for the Quar he has 3D printed a flying machine that seemed to fit. There are no flying machine rules in the game but I cannot see it staying that way for much longer.

And with that we aill see you next week for our regular look at progress.

Welcome to another work in progress Wednesday, the heat here in the UK has slowed all our painting efforts down, but we still have progress being made.

This week we start with Kim and some buildings for the game Traitors Gate. This is a town type terrain heavy game, so I’m sure there will be more to come from Kim.

Next up and Tony F had some blank 8 sided dice so decided to turn them into Sci-fi crates. I think they came out very well.

Moving on and Stephen has decided to give his river sections a bit of a make over by improving the banks of the rivers. I thin they look much more realistic now.

And Stephen also picked up this suspended target piece from the recent Broadside wargames show, and couldn’t wait to get it painted up. I believe this will be an addition to a medieval fair.

And lastly and sort of leastly given they are orcs, Phil has been painting up more 10mm orcs for his big Lord of the Rings army. We have some ballistae.

And more orcs have been started to add to the ranks of Mordor!

And with that we will see you next week when we will be having a Quar special for our work in progress.
