Renedra 20 foot container as cover

 I reviewed the Renedra 20 foot container earlier , but mentioned that I would take some photographs of the container in use as cover.

Blotz River Barge

 Blotz do a River Barge, which is a suitable size to take one unit of Oathmark infantry, here shown with a 5x4 sabot stand of Human Archers.

As can be seen, the kit is made from MDF.

The kit contains two full size MDF panels and a smaller panel.

There are two dowels, one foe a mast, the other for a gaff, a boom or a crosspiece depending upon the period being modelled. There are fittings for a boom or a cross piece.

Assembly is simple, though it is worth checking the online instructions.

The MDF construction is very obvious with gaps between the panels.

Under Oathmark rules, this would be classified as a small ship, capable of carrying one full size (20 figure) unit. The foredeck is quite spacious and I would be tempted to add a light artillery piece (and crew) with the additional two ship crew to upgrade it to a large ship.

It will happily take a Renedra 5x4 rank sabot base.

Oathmark Barrow Worm

 Barrow or Ghoul Worms are enormous burrowing creatures that having consumed dead flesh have become undead themselves.

Necromancers can control (with difficulty) the creatures, unleashing them on their enemies.

Having wanted to add some heavy hitters to my undead army, I was looking for something suitable.

Crooked Dice had their Corpse Scavengers but they are rather complicated to assemble. They also have a Death Worm. This is a one piece resin model.

The model was undercoated with Citadel Corax White.

The base was painted with Humbrol Dark Earth 30. The body (except the claw/fangs) was painted with Citadel Rakarth Flesh. The claw/fangs were painted first with Vallejo Old Wood. This was followed by Vallejo Dark Sand. They were highlighted wit a mix of Vallejo Dark Sand, Vallejo White and Army Painter Stone Golem. The wound was painted with the same Dark Sand/White/Stone Golem mix with the holes painted with Citadel Mechrite Red. Open sores were painted with the Same Mechrite Red. Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade was applied to the sores. The pustules were painted with a White/Stone Golem mixture and then Citadel Gryphonne Sepia was applied. Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade was applied to the mouth.
