Pumpkinz First Match

Right Stuff and I played a game of BB7s last weekend to give his new Smashin' Pumkinz team (see here) a try while he waits for the rest of the figs to arrive (hint hint Comrade James!).  Their opponent was my slightly developed human team, the Nut Crackers.

Da Boyz on the LOS looking great in their orange and brown colours!

It was a very fun game- we hadn't played Sevens for ages and a fast moving first half saw each team score 2 TDs in quick succession on our home made board

The Orc drive to score an equaliser by Half  Time

The second half saw the Orcs receive, and Right Stuff tried to grind it out for the half for the win.  It went wrong for him, the ball carrier got sacked and scrum developed.  All getting rather scrappy when the Orcs pulled off a miracle play - an Orc thrower got to the ball, picked it up in 2 TZs, got an accurate pass out (in the same 2 TZs) and caught by a Black Orc.  A spectacular array of dice, particularly noting that there are no ReRolls in Sevens!

And so the Orcs got their grind and took a well deserved Victory winning 3 to 2.  A great start for this new team!

Batman!

A different kind of Batman: a Vampire in man-bat form!  Went for a bit of a different look with a bit of colour to splash onto the table.  Still deciding if I like it.

Like the Giant Worm I posted a few days ago here, this model suffers from balance issues and I am going to have to weight down one side of the base to account for it.  You can see why in the pic below

Nonetheless, I think its an excellent figure with a dynamic pose and great sculpting detail.
Figure is by Heresy Miniatures (have a look here)

Phantasmic!

...or the Ghost of Christmas present perhaps? A Reaper figure to inhabit my cemetery terrain.

Brushoff 2012

Every year Uncle Mike (of Strange Aeons Fame) runs a small painting competition for models from his range.  Finding myself unexpectedly short of time, I painted up what I had on hand from Uncle Mike's:

Beware the contents of the chained coffin...

Not very inspiring I know, but its nice terrain and I wanted Uncle Mike to have a range of entries for his competition.  You can find the prize winners at the Lead Adventure Forum thread here:
