Hummer - 3D print

At Colours 2025 there was a stand selling 3D prints. According to the floor plan it was Modular Worlds, but there is only an Etsy link, so I cannot confirm that.

It has very similar proportions to the Empress HMMWV model.

It is likely to end up as State operated vehicle.

They also had an XR3i model.

This does look as though it has been flattened a bit.

Wargames Atlantic - Operators

 Wargames Atlantic have recently released their next box of modern image figures -Operators.

The box contains four identical sprues that build five figures (one of which is kneeling)

There are an assortment of long arms of different types.

There are two squad automatic weapons, one is a FN Minimi type, the other a Soviet style one. There is one bullpup rifle and a G36 type.

There are two pistols and one LAW. There is also one scoped rifle.

Crusader Ailthean light tractor work in progress

 Work in progress on the Crusader Aithean tractor.

There is an issue with the front of the turret/body, there appears to be a large depression, not sure if it is a moulding issue or a mould issue. It looks like a giant thoumbprint.

It has been filled with Milliput, but needs some further smoothing.

The join in the tread units is rather obvious and has needed a lot of filing and filling.

Coftyran Chyweethl Tractor - base painted

 So the Chyweethl tractor has received its base colours.

It was given an base paint of Citadel Macragge Blue (no Chaos Black undercoat).

The treads (peds?) are Vallejo Black.

Joins between the tracks, gun barrel, bearing surfaces and the bolt heads on the individual 'feet' are Vallejo Black Grey, as was the base colour of the exhaust pipe.

The glass in the view ports is Citadel Warpstone Glow.

The underside, which will give an opportunity to test some pinwash techniques.

Though this will be an Out of the Box paintjob, there will be some weathering.

I have the second kit, which will be a more weathered and battle weary one.

North Star Cultists III for Frostgrave

 The latest addition to the North Star range of plastic figures for Frostgrave is Cultists III. This adds another selection of cultist figures, lighter armoured than Cultists I and Cultists II.

Standard North Star box (though it feels a bit more flimsy).

The box contains four sprues, each of which builds five figures.

There are heads and hands to build undead out of the figures as well.

There is one particular weapon of note, a chainsaw!

That will be an entertaining add on.

Without the chainsaw, these are going to supply some lighter troops for my Necromancer's army, and possibly some melee troops for my Converted one as well.

Recent Rule books

 So I have bought a number of rules in the last fortnight (all from North Star).

First up: Five Leagues from the Borderlands Compendium.

Lots of new stuff for Five leagues from the Borderlands. Like the Five Parsecs from Home compendium, it contains a stand alone game Deep Below. In this case it is a dungeon delver game, with additional species to be part of your party.

The second is Forgotten Ruin, again based on Five Leagues, and is another stand alone game pitting modern infantry against fantasy critters.

The most recent purchase is the second edition of Dragon Rampant.

The original was an Osprey Blue Book. This edition is a hardback.

The core rules incorporate the updated rules from Lion Rampant second edition, and are generally compatible.

There are example warbands and lots of nice photographs.

Still more to read.

Wargames Atlantic: Survivors 1

The Wargames Atlantic Civilians and Survivors set 1 builds 24 male figures. There are sufficient parts for all of them to be running unarmed or armed with an assortment of weapons ranging from swords and bats (Cricket and Rounders) to assault rifles via pistols, revolvers and submachine guns. 

There are four of the main sprues that build mainly unarmed or armed with bats or poles figures.

There are three of the weapon sprues.
