Footman and Mounted Officer
JollyBob (from Lead Adventure Forum) sent to me a nice christmas gift: an Ex-citadel Wargames foundry men-at-arms footman's halberd and mounted officer's horse. Then I could complete my mounted officer and footman (the first missed the horse, the second the weapon).
I immediately started to paint them and here they are ready to smash some pitiful orcs ;)
Thanks again Bob :)

Space Ork Squad
A Space Ork Squad for my rogue trader games.
I painted them with the classic old school paint scheme.

Space Ork
Here the first space ork I ever painted. It will the first of a squad of five orks, that will be fine for my rogue trader games (as bystanders, for now).

Necron Scarabs
Here a swarm of 5 necron scarabs.
I've some doubts about the paint scheme of the scarabs, maybe a black paint scheme with red jaws could be better (like the weapons of the necron warriors). What do you think?
The whole warband of the Necron Lord.
a Bigger picture of the Necron Lord alone.

Necron Lord
I painted the necron Lord for my squad of Necrons (or Chaos Androids). Again I painted using the paint scheme of the Chaos Android from the Space Crusade boardgame.

Advanced Song of Blades & Heroes Battle Report: BURN the ORC Village!
Today I played my first game with Advanced Song of Blades & Heroes.
I painted two oldhammer warbands (citadel 1983-84 miniatures) and some Turnkey miniatures orc villagers.
The scenario is simple: the attacker must burn at least two huts, while the defender and villagers must avoid it, defending the village.
To burn an hut an attacker must move in contact with the building and win two activations.
WARHAMMER Border Prince Background:
Somewhere in the Border Prince, a warband lead by Lord Karheinz de Trillo find an orc village near the border of his domain and order to his men to burn it.
However the Orc Village is under the protection of another new Border Prince, a Chaos Sorcerer that is building is small domain with the aid of greeskins and human chaos renegades.
BURN the ORC Village!
Lord Karlheinz was outraged.
How dare these disgusting greenskins to build their pitiful settlement near his domain.
They should be punished. He spoke to his men.
Karlheinz: "My brave men, our lands are infested by a greenskin invasion, then we must defend our borders and drive out the invaders!"
The men responded with cheers.
Proudly, Lord Karlheinz lead his men to the raid.
Karlheinz: "Burn the Orc Village!"
meanwhile the warband of Graciale was not far from the orc village.
An orc sentinel informed the Chaos Sorcerer of the incoming human warband.
Orc Sentinel: "My lord, some humans are coming, they are moving toward our village!"
The Chaos Sorcerer was annoyed. To keep the loyality of his greenskin minions one of his duties was to ensure protection of the villages under his domains.
Graciale: "Grimskull, move the troops, we should teach to those rude men that these raids are not tolerated..."
Orc Villagers: all with Quality 5+ Combat 0, the Orc Elder has Leader trait.

the protectors of the Orc Village
The Orc Village
The Border Prince Warband won the scenario.
Two huts are burning. Graciale and Grimskull are KO and the greenskin minions are without their leaders.
Most of the greenskins fleed after the defeat of the Chaos Sorcerer, they tried to regroup, but it was too late to save the orc village.
The subcommander Gautier Dhenin and a spearman are KO.
Graciale, Grimskull, a goblin fanatic, long neck and the twins are KO.
The Orc worker is KO while the Orc Elder is prone.
the board at the end of last turn.
Lord Karlheinz was satisfied.
The greenskins were defeated.
The villagers and the enemy warband was fleeing.
The powers of the Chaos Sorcerer could not stop the righteous fury of his men.
Unfortunately this victory wasn't without a price, his valiant lieutenant was seriously injured and one of his spearmen was dead.
The Chaos Sorcerer and his Chaos Champion were seriously injured too and they should retreat with their fleeing minions. Three of the greenskins and one of the villagers were slaughtered.
Lord Karlheinz: "Well done my brave men! Now pillage the village, you deserve the booty! Take that orc elder with us.. he will learn later the price of the defeat..."

Empire Warband
The last three men-at-arms and the Empire warband should be complete.
Maybe I will include another men-at-arm and a mounted leader (but first I must find an horse for the leader and the weapon for the fighter).

Empire Knight
This is a OOP 1984 citadel C26 Man-at Arm I painted as an Empire Knight.
It is still available from Wargames foundry.
The miniature is really easy to paint but It has a monotonous design too. Maybe because it's more realistic than the other classic citadel miniatures. Soon more empire fighters will join him.
