First up this week Eric has painted two more Stargrave crew members, I could be wrong but these have the look of cannon fodder.
Next up Andy continues to wade through more of his medieval miniatures, this time with some progress on horses.
Mark has made some 6mm progress with his Spanish Napoleonic era forces.
Two cavalry units, a mixture of heavy cavalry, dragoons, hussars.
Mark also sent us progress his son Felix has made on his first Imperial guardsman.

And lastly this week, with the shows starting again Marcus has turned his attention back to the clubs current (Last seen at Cavalier 2020!) show game, first up some Yeti’s.
Copplestone Yeti’s
and some snow scenery made out of expanding foam.

That’s it for this week, catch you next Wednesday.
Here we are with another selection of pictures from the club showing what we’ve up to. With the return of club meetings, projects are turning to the various games we have managed to start playing again.
First up Tony has been painting up some 15mm Brigadier characters, strangely enough from Brigade Models. He has also managed to complete another dwarf for his LOTR’s collection.
Kili the Dwarf
Next up I’ve been painting up some crates from the Mantic Dreadball range for use in various sci-fi games.

John has been painting up some 10mm Chilean and Peruvian Cavalry.
Regiments of Cavalry on the way
Lastly for this week Stephen has used up some old EM4 Colonial Marines miniatures and a bit of kit bashing to create some additional crew/gang members for use in games like Stargrave.
Effective bit of kit bashing to bring some old figure to life
We’re back for another look at progress from the club members.
Above we have Mark having painted old stoney face himself who is just about done, just the base to be completed. Also Mark has completed more of the Pontic army with some swordsmen.
Mark’s youngest has also been slapping on some paint (mainly contrast paints)Â to a block gang to go up against Dredd.

Next up I’ve been working on a piece of old wood I found to make a giant tree terrain piece.
The giant ancient tree 21cm tall and 7cm wide
The tree currently has a glossy finish because to help preserve the wood I applied a watered down coat of PVA glue.
Next up Tony has completed another dwarf to add to his ranks of LOTR’s miniatures.
Another dwarf in the war of the ring
Eric has also completed his Inquisitor Greyfax who will act as a Captain or first mate for Eric’s Stargrave crew.

And last but not least this week Stephen has made more progress on his Saracen army, this time some light Saracen cavalry.
A tad late today, apologies all. This week the vast majority of work was done by Eric, with one small addition from Tony. Where’s everyone else gone?
Eric says his painting mojo has really sunk it’s teeth into him at the moment, and he’s been prolific in his output. First up is Inquisitor Greyfax from Warhammer 40k, Eric says she’s a work in progress, and will make a great “psyker” captain for Stargrave in addition to appearing in his 40K army.

Next, an old piece of scenery he finally got round to paying attention to.
Ruined Cathedral?
Some random robot that was found in the desert just before the locals decided to handball him on to their transport. Will likely serve as a data loot cache marker for Stargrave.
Stargrave R2D2 data marker
And for a complete change of direction, some Roman Legionaries.
Early Imperial Romans
Back to the Sci Fi theme, a small Adeptus Astartes Reiver squad for either 40k or Kill Team (maybe Stargrave, who knows?)
Adeptus Astartes Reiver squad
And 3 x runners/recruits for Stargrave and a robot. The runners were kitbashed from 40k spares, the robot is based on Claptrap from Borderlands. Model by Crooked Dice Games.
Stargrave Runners and Robot
And, finally from Eric, some Stargrave Loot markers.

It’s not quite an Eric monopoly this week, Tony has finished a few figures. He’s decided to start on Thorin’s Company, so here are Thorin, James Nesbitt Bofur and Gandalf.
Thorin, Bofur and Gandalf.
That’s it for this week, hopefully we’ll be back on schedule next Wednesday.
While Jeremey is away he handed the reins over to Andy for this week’s post.
Only four items to show this week, not sure if that is the effect of the weather, or that we have now resumed meetings.
First up, Tony continues his 15mm Sci Fi Des Res, made from an electrical pattress box, accessories from the Brigade range, and spares from the bits box. He has added a few more greeblies including a radar dish, then started painting – undercoat, dark wash then some drybrushing. Front view above, rear aspect below.

John has added a fourth base to his Chilean battalions for the War of the Pacific.
John’s Chilean Reinforcements (Pendraken 10mm)
Meanwhile Mark has done some more work on his Judge Dread figures and his 6mm Pontic army.
Mark’s Judges and 6mm Pontics
And his son, Felix, has been trying out GW Contrast Paints on his Mega City Block Gang.
Felix’s Block Gang
(Ed: In an earlier edition of this post I credited the Judge Dredd and Pontic work to Eric and his son in error. It should have been credited to Mark and his son. Apologies to all concerned.)
Finally, not so much WIP as just finished. The last of my Dark Ages foot, ready for a game last night at Milton Hundred.
Andy’s Gripping Beast Plastics Warriors
Well, that’s it for this week. Back into Jeremey’s safe hands next week.
It’s Wednesday again and we have another selection from the club members.
This week we will start with Tony since he has been very productive, above we have Tom Bombadil to go with last weeks painting of Goldberry and below Tony has some more Rohirrim with some Helmingas.
Helmingas command figures
For the last contribution from Tony I’ll let his own words speak; “a small utility building made from an electrical pattress (the sort that fit into hollow partition walls – £1 from Wilko) dressed up with resin doors/windows/vents and other bits.”
Inventive use of other parts for a sci-fi building
Next up Mark has on his work table the last of his Pontic army, the fleshy bits done just the rest to go. Also recently purchased Judge Dredd miniatures have been started.
An eclectic mix from Mark
Any Finally this week John has made a start on Allies for Pacific war with some 10mm Peruvians from Pendraken figures.
Peruvian Foot
See you next week when Andy will be sitting in for me.
Another week and more progress from the club. As expected the drop in temperature has seen a rise in club member productivity.
First up Stephen has created more loot tokens above for Stargrave. Stephen has also added to the space fighters from last week with these four.
More Star fighters take to the um… stars!
Marcus is next up with more progress on the Ground Zero Games Moongrunt unit.
Love that Moon cratered terrain
Eric has made more progress on the conversions for a Stargrave crew. I love these custom jobs and I’m in the progress of converting some Dreadball miniatures for my own crew.
Fresh meat for the crew
Tony has managed to paint up another miniature from the LOTR collection. Not a mighty warrior or wizard this time but the little known character Goldberry.
Goldberry, not sure what her abilities are in the game?
Last up is my effort, I picked up some wood/bark pieces from a walk in the woods and decided to make a fantasy Viking/Druid/Witches house in the woods.
Impressive dwelling for many settings
Join us again next week for more little snippets of inspiration from the club.
Just a few offerings for this week. I’m blaming the heat. It certainly saps creativity and painting.
Above we have some space fighters from Stephen (really need to find out who makes these). And below Stephen has been creating more Loot tokens for Stargrave.
Physical and Data Loot ready to be salvaged
I’ve also been creating Loot tokens for Stargrave only I went with some blank indented dice and some free sci-fi textures to turn them into Loots tokens.
The dice were undercoated first before the textures added, then some dry brushing to get them blended in.
After about 10 years of sitting in a box I also managed to stick some previously purchased plastic aquarium plants into the start of a jungle.
Multiple plastic plants stuck together with the hot glue gun
And finally this week Andy has made a bit more progress on his medieval Sergeants.
The heat is definitely slowing down painting
See you next week for the next glimpse of our club activity.
