Riolta's World Tour

Back After a Short Break

Riolta has to take on bandits on the high pass. 

Been a couple of years since I posted a world tour pic for Riolta.

Two Jousting Teams Take Shape

 Ok, Not all Goblins for Wartnose Goblin Jousting

So, I have worked out the first two teams for jousting. I just need to get them finished! Definitely a bit re-use and repurposing. If I manage to get a decent run of games then I can always get a few more minis! 😆

Badger, Fox & Giant Stag Beetle

 The First Wartnose Goblin Jousting Team 

First two jousters - To be named

After looking around various minis (painted & unpainted), I realised that the badger pixie riders (from Oakbound) would make the perfect team*. Ok so technically not goblins but close enough and make an interesting looking team. As I wanted to make each rider different, I found some different steeds from the bits box (Warbases & Ral Partha Europe). So, voila a Wartnose  jousting team. Now, I need find some actual goblins for them to go up against... 

Point to Note - Now I did realise that I bought the 50mm bases (should have been 60mm) but I don't think that will stop the fun. 

*And two are already painted! Plus was a great opportunity to use this colour shift paint on the stag beetle.

The Battle of the Five Armies at Colours

 Midgard Rules

The excellent game of Battle of the Five Armies using the Midgard rules (by https://mogsymakes.net/blog/) and using Iron Mitten's minis* (https://iron-mitten.blogspot.com/). 

*And most likely some from Mogsymakes!

More Scrap Dreads & Show Booty

 Fun Times at Colours

Work continues on two scrapheap ork dreadnoughts and I may build a third one as I have enough parts. But I probably should finish the first two...

I managed to get to Colours at Newbury races today and picked up a few things. Like last year there were some bargains to be had - a copy of War of the Ring for a tenner on the B&B and twelve dwarf miners for £12 from Black Tree designs. They were billed as retirement stock so this might the last chance to get them. I would still like to take another go at Blood Bath at Orcs Drift. And these miners have a nice Oldhammer vibe. 

More pictures to follow of the tremendous Battle of the Five Armies and my go at 'Here's the Ruckus'. 

The other thing that caught my eye but didn't buy (Doh!) was Hairfoot Jousting which only needs six minis to play. Fortunately, a friend of my has a copy, so I will have a go at putting together a team or two.

Back to the Dread Mob

Time for Another Scrapheap Challenge

After putting together an ork mega-attack dreadnought last year, I decided he needed a bit of company. So, I have started on at least one more smaller dreadnought. As before, the is aim to make these dreadnought(s) using only bits 'found' from around the house or existing gaming stuff. 

Taking inspiration from the original ork dreadnought, I thought it would be fun to add a goblin 'pilot' sticking out the top.
