Mick, Thanks For The Mortar!

Mick and I played the game last Thursday. 2,500pt game,  my Skaven vs his Orcs n Goblins. Shan't say what happened here as I'm putting together a report at the moment.

The nice surprise was he gave me a poisoned wind mortar! For a brief moment I thought there may be some sort of strings attached, payment-in-kind sort of meaning behind this. But no, as it wasn't Darryl gifting me this, I decided not to worry. Anyway, he had bought two Island of Blood box sets a while ago and has already painted-up 1000pts of core troops. He said he is unlikely to need two mortars in the near future, so let me have one! Cheers Mick!

And just to show how grateful I am, I have painted it up ASAP, and here's a piccie of the result.

As usual, was 'dipped', and came out well. Oh, and couldn't find my regular static grass, so have had to E-bay a tub. How annoying.

Anyhow, while I was at it, I took a picture of my doomwheel. Again, it shows that even larger models look fine with the speedy 'dipping' method. Admittedly, this has a little more than base colour on, but only a little. The wood on the wheels was drybushed with 1 extra colour, and some highlighting to the warpstone and red bits. And it has static grass... and little bits of clump foliage! ( can't find that either now I think of it... buggeration )

Oh, and lastly, a piccie to show that I AM cracking-on with the battle report!

First turns of the game...
