Looking back to game again

I was discussing Confrontation on the weekend. And this lead to a goal to try and play the game again, as I have a fully painted wolfen force and my friend has his Scorpions of Dirz.

We did play a very small amount of this game when it was out. However not long after we started, Rackham began their decline into oblivion. And by a small amount, we played through the learn to play guide of the Initiation Set

To this day we cannot remember the victor in the one game that we played of it, however we do both remember having a lot of fun with it.

 

Unlike my usual choices for forces, I decided that I wanted a group of mighty headband warriors. In Confrontation, nothing says "Fist to the Face" like giant angry wolfen. So they are the force that I have. And they were one of the forces in the starter and initiation sets. Not the weak models, but mighty predators of blood, fang warriors and Onyx the Prowler. That is pretty hard hitting force there. Add in Syriac with summon Animae and the predators can become Ultimate predators and really lay about with both fists, feet, swords and teeth.

 

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the look at my Confrontation force.

 

I have only two models for unpainted, being a Worg and Irix the Ultimate (and still in boxes). I guess that I should try and get those painted at some point.

Oh, and in the interests of full disclosure, I didn't paint these models. They were painted by a good friend of mine, who I hope that I can convince to paint the last two models for as well.

I do have a number of Cynwalls as well, but they are neither painted or assembled. Another project for a later period of time.

Cheers.

More from the vault

Well, it is Wednesday once more.

So here are a couple of older miniatures, continuing with my Howling Griffins.

First up, Captain Von Bek of the fourth company.

I did reasonably well with this model. He passed the local level of the Golden Daemon contest and through varying degrees of miraculous occurrences made an appearance at the finals. Didn't place or get in the highly commended but I was stoked that it made it that far.

Then onto the first assault squad.

These don't have the chapter symbol on their shoulders. I managed to make a mess of the print your own transfers and never got around to going back and trying again.

I should also say that when I say they are the first assault squad, the other is languishing on sprue with the remainder of the battle company.

And a quick update on the current project - I should tonight finish the next 4 termagants for my Tyranid force. So then I can start on the next 4. Which means that I am going to have to return to the joys of assembly once more. This time with the Hormagaunts. Hopefully they are a little easier for me.

Cheers.

From the Vault - Howling Griffins

Welcome to the first of my mid week updates. In these I will be showing some of the miniatures from my collection. Some painted by me, some painted by my friends for me.

First up we have the 10th squad of the 4th company of the Howling Griffins. I have the whole battle company, with half of it painted. So I am starting with these.

10th Squad - Devastators.
2 Missile Launchers
2 Lascannons

 

 And brave Sergeant with his auspex.

 

I plan to in the future finish off the whole 4th battle company of these guys. Currently I have no vehicles painted for them, because painting large areas of yellow smoothly was a scary prospect. I am thinking of getting an airbrush in the future though and that should make the whole project a lot easier.

Till next time, with an update of current items.

Ian.
