Dragon Rampant - Hill Giant Warband Addition - Sabertooth Tigers!

 

Greetings Grognards and Young Guard!

Getting to posting my finished 2025 projects!

A little background the next unit.  Building my Hill Giant Warband for Dragon Rampant, I used Reaper Miniatures Hill Giants as the main units.  One Hill Giant had a Sabertooth Tiger.  I thought it would be cool to have a unit of these, but never was able to find ones that looked the part or were the correct size.  A stumbled on an eBay rescue that had four GW models for sale.  I believe they are called Frost Sabres now.  I quickly purchased these for a great price and was happy to add them to the Hill Giant Warband.

I used the same paint scheme on these as the existing model in my army.  See my other related blogs.

Again, these little projects are so welcome and nice to knock them out quickly.

Hope you enjoy!

Dragon Rampant - Army of the Cobra King

 

Greetings Fellow Grognards and Young Guard!

The Army of the Cobra King...or something silly like that, pushed its way to the top of my list every since I saw the Nagendra Models from Reaper Miniatures.  I just love these miniatures and may end up adding some more Maiden Guard to my forces at some point.

I had purchase the King Cobra model from Reaper, but found it too large in comparison to the Nagendra.  I searched about and was able to find a Cobra toy on Walmart.com.  I gave it some small repainting and a wash before basing it and I think it was the right size for the army.  Worry not, as the King Cobra model from Reaper will become the top of a temple terrain piece.

Units were built as 6 models per units.

Cobra King

Serpent Leader

Serpent Wizard

Serpent Maiden Guard

Serpent Swordsmen (x2)

Serpent Halberdiers (x2)

Serpent Archers (x2)

I can't wait to get these on the game table!

Hope you enjoy!

Dragon Rampant - Vampires Warband Addition

 

Greetings Fellow Grognards and Young Guard!

Another installment of my finished 2025 Projects to round out the year!

I had some Chronopia Elves still laying about and realized they would form another unit of archers for my Dragon Rampant Vampires Warband.

Taking time to do these smaller projects has been wonderful as the Tiger Claw Space Marine project severely fried my desire to paint.  See my other blogs for more details.

So the ranks of the Vampires has swollen, gaining more fire power to rain down on their enemies.

Hope you enjoy!

Dragon Rampant - Fire Giants Warband Addition

 

Hello Fellow Grognards and Young Guard!

The year is winding down and I'm working to catch up on posting of my finished projects for 2025!

The following is another Reaper Miniature that I have painted and added to my Fire Giants Warband for Dragon Rampant.

I love this miniature and am happy with the results! 

Hope you enjoy!

Stone Golems - Dragon Rampant Army of Anubis/ Scorpion King Army

 Welcome back again, fellow Grognards and Young Guard!

The clock is running out on 2024, and I am working hard to post what I've finished this year.

The latest addition to my Army of Anubis/ Scorpion King Army for Dragon Rampant is a unit of Stone Golems, made by Reaper.

Some of you may recall that I had previously painted four of these for my Dragon Rampant Stone Giant Army.  Looking at the two armies on my bookcase, I realized that the paint scheme on the Golems matched the Anubis Army colors, so I figured I just paint up four new ones the same way and base them for the desert. 

They were also a mini project to clear my head from the multitude of Tiger Claw Space Marines and vehicles I have been painting (ie. a seemingly endless project)!  I will have those I have painted posted as well before 2024 ends.

Hope you enjoy the pictures below...until next time...GAME ON!

Dragon Rampant - Orc Armies swells!

 

Hello fellow Grognards and Young Guard!

Welcome to another installment of 'Of Dice and Army Men'!

In the past, I posted pictures of my Dragon Rampant Orc Army consisting of a large number of Chronopia Assault Orcs.  Well, the ranks continue to grow.  I just really love these Assault Orc models, so when I see them on ebay, they are rare to come by and like to rescue them (for the right price of course!).

I have added the 10 Assault Orcs below to the ranks.

The trick is adding minis to an army you painted a while back to keep colors consistent and in the same style.  I do keep a project book of color used.  Unfortunately, that army was not recorded in the book, but I did remember the limited number of paints used on these models, so off I went.  I highly recommend keeping a paint log for your projects.

Next up, in Jan 2024, I was able to finish painting my Ogre Kingdoms Army for Warhammer 6th/ 7th Edition, but not able to take pictures for posting.  I hope to have those taken and the army posted soon!

Until then, gather the forces and GAME ON!

Dragon Rampant Army - Ogres!

 12/31/23

Welcome fellow Grognards and Young Guard to the final installment for 'Of Dice and Army Men' for 2023!

I've managed to set a hefty new record for painted miniatures 2023!  With the miniatures below, I have logged 544 painted miniatures and terrain pieces for 2023!

Not sure how I will break that record for next year but we'll see!

Hope to see all of you back here in 2024 when I continue to tackle the pile of shame.  In 2024, my goal is to get more games played in as I've spent far more time painting this year than playing.

In January, I am looking forward to my annual pilgrimage to Siege of Augusta in Augusta GA; a great annual convention!  If you can make it, I highly recommend it.

Best Wishes and a Happy New Year to all of my fellow Grognards and the Young Guard!
