Dominion of Sigmar Statue

Another 'find' in my local Forbidden Planet. Again from the 'Mortal Realms' magazine. This is Sigmar statue. The magazine suggests painting it all as a stone statue, but (to me) it looks too intricate for a stonemason to carve.

Mission 6 - Scour

With work related interruptions gone, it was time to get back to our Nightwatch campaign. The search for Malicus Crane had led the Pact to a remote region infested with his minions. The subsequent goal is to rind the area of as many of his minions as possible. Having lost Gimmi the Dwarf last time out, the Pact needed a new team member.

Gryph Hound Statues

Real life has intervened, and hobby time has been impacted by work. As a result, I haven't played a game for a while. However, I have had time to paint up scenery.

I am reliably informed that this equates to a 50% saving on their retail price. I recycled most of the magazine, only keeping the assembly instructions and the painting guide.
