15mm DBA/HOTT - Early Hungarian III/68


          My take on a early Hungarian army using Black Hat miniatures from their feudal range. The heraldry is a conglomeration of stuff I found on the web and may be completely fictional. For the fantasy variant I will probably add another knight (Hospitaller) and a cleric unit.

          DBA 3.0                                                      
          General                                 1x3Kn(Gen)

          D3H2

15mm DBA/HOTT - Beastmen


          Finished painting up the batch of the Demonworld beastmen miniatures for the army. I will hopefully be adding a chariot later if I can find suitable animals to use. The ogres are old Ral Partha D&D miniatures from the 15mm Ogres of Dragonspear pack.
          I intend on using a variant of DBA 3.0 called D3H2, that I received from a poster on the Fanaticus DBA Wargaming site ( http://fanaticus.boards.net/).

          D3H2                                                        
          Warrior(Gen)                  1   Bd(F)     2AP
          Warriors                       4-6   Bd(F)    2AP
          Herd (Standard)           0-2   Hd(F)    1AP
          Ogres                            0-2   Bh         4AP
          Hero                             0-1   Hr         4AP
                   
Hero (DW), General (DW), Behemoths (RP)

Blades (DW), Hordes (DW)

Alpha Strike - Kitbash Wasp Battlemech


          Looking for other small cheap mechs to use, I decided on the 20 ton Wasp. The WK model for the Wasp when compared to the other models looks more like a 30 ton Valkyrie and the Stinger model is just to small. So I slapped together another bug mech with parts from clickytech models; body/arms from a Stinger, legs from a Forestry mech, and the head from a Mjolnir. I was trying to get something close to a Wasp 3S mech, but the chest seems way off to me. I may need to start over and carve up the chest to get the abdomen to look similar to the drawing. In the drawing the weapons also look to small to be medium lasers, so I lengthened out the arm.

 Locust (20t), Wasp (20t), Koshi (25t)
Arbalest (25t), Wasp (20t), Stinger (20t)

Alpha Strike - Kitbash Flea Battlemech 2


 
 
            Finally casted up several of the Flea models. Had a few issues with the feet, so some of were cut off and replaced with plastic stock as a quick fix. There also are few air bubble around the cockpit and rear cowling. Other than the above they came out all right even with my amateur level skills. Next time I make a mold I need to place a few thin pieces of plastic sheet to bridge areas where air can be trapped.
