Greetings
fellow gamers,
What
another ItEn update already? Yes indeed, and I’m proud of it. Not that I’m up to my old speed again, but we’re
working on it. Not that the kids are
less active or don’t get to “enjoy” my company or attention, but little by
little there is getting some routine in to it all. So little by little I re-conker a bit of my
old hobby time :o) But enough with the
nagging; on to the fun stuff of games and models …
The model: Petty
Officer Crum is made out of; you’ll never geuss, … an old goblin spearmen. Much like the other halflings and Ratlings I’ve
done in the past few years (Ripper; halfling witch hunter; Halfling thugh; halfling tutorial)
The other
bits include a empire knight helmet, free company dagger arm, IG flamer, chaos
and loyal bolter, ork pouches, IG pouches, plastic card and plastic rod. The
armour is made with Greenstuff and plastic card; the helmet a cleaned up empire
knight with plastic rod attached. The
only real down side to the modelling are the sleeves which are not identical
(lost sight of those and only noticed while painting) and the gun arm which is slightly
out of position/form (I camouflaged that with the ork pouches :o)
The painting: As usual I started out white, and based my
colour choices on Ripper and Borson ‘cus this model is supposed
to be in the same retinue. I did get rid
of the red after trying and some good advice from koen (for once I listened ;o)
The Game: For gameplay this model uses the stormtrooper
stats. With a self made skill as infiltrate (deploy last out of sight; out of 6”
of enemy models) to play test in our local games (but more on that later I hope
:o)
The Inquisitors thoughts: Petty Officer Aldo Crum is part of
Rippers Squad and deserved my respect during his daring entry while rescuing
Nicolas Scribler from the drug smuggling Tzeench cult on Rolanthyr’s 2nd
moon
