Dropzone Commander - UCM forces


I bought the two player starter set of DROPZONE COMMANDER a couple of years ago - it contained small starter forces for two factions -  the UCM (Humans) and the SCOURGE (bio-mechanical aliens)...It is a 10mm scale sci-fi tabletop battle game set in the far future.  I have been steadily collecting and building on my original starter set over time. 

Recently the game IP was sold by HAWK wargames to TTCombat - the game has been re-booted with more streamlined rules - downloadable for free from their website. They are in the process of recasting the models, and making available the ones that have gone out of print (still not all available yet at the time of writing)... 

I have finally finished painting my UCM faction. 

I went for a grey camo pattern for the ground forces (Army painter Wolf Grey / Ash Grey) - and a plain (Wolf Grey) scheme for the Dropships/Air support.. I'm pleased with the final result - but these were really a bit of a slog to get through towards the end with all that camouflage!

I'm waiting for the final few Scourge models to come back into print before I start painting them... I want to paint them all at the same time for continuity with the colour scheme.

Warmaster - Norse Army

I've been working on my second Warmaster army on and off between other things for about a year. 
After searching through the lists, and doing a bit of research on available miniatures, I decided on a Norse Army. 

Kalistra have a great selection of 12mm Barbarians in their fantasy range, and they also have Vikings in their Medieval range. They are very reasonably priced, and nice miniatures too. I sourced a Giant and some figures suitable for Giant Bears from Copplestone Miniatures, the war mammoth was from Alternative Armies and some Giant wolves and Valkeries from Magister Militum.

So I now have two fully painted Warmaster Armies... I just need to find a local opponent and get them out on the table!

Some useful links:
WARMASTER REVOLUTION (Current free rules and army lists)
WARMASTER PODCAST

KALISTRA - 12mm Fantasy miniatures
COPPLESTONE - 15mm Barbarians etc (Giant and Bears were from here)
MAGISTER MILITUM - (10mm Wolves and Valkeries)
ALTERNATIVE ARMIES - (War Mammoth)

Here is the finished army:




BONDSMEN - Kalistra Barbarians


HUNTSMEN - Kalistra Barbarian Bowmen

BESERKERS - Kalistra Vikings

JARL and HEROES/WIZARDS - Kalistra Barbarian Command Characters
