The Return of The Son of The Mummy: The Loot
Thu, 06 Oct 2011 18:33:58 GMT
Here are the two Loot objects our characters have to collect and the Ritual Altar for The Return of The Son of The Mummy.
Here we have The Dagger of Karis and The Casket of Souls. The Dagger is a key that will unlock the Casket and free Karis from his tomb.
And here is the Golden Altar where the ritual must be completed.
The Master

Nemesis of The Doctor and fellow renegade Time Lord, The Master.
The miniature is from North Star's Robin Hood range.
More Doctor Who Stuff
Wed, 05 Oct 2011 22:03:17 GMT
As there is a thread on LAF for showing off your Doctor Who stuff, I thought I'd share the pics up here too.
LAF: Doctor Who minis - Show us yours!!
The Doctor
Monsters

The New Dalek Paradigm
Wed, 05 Oct 2011 21:23:43 GMT
The first batch of Daleks from the New Dalek Paradigm, the new less good looking ones from Victory of the Daleks and onwards. Here we have the white Supreme and two squads each of a blue Strategist and three red Drones.
I still prefer the older design, but these models are cheap from the Doctor Who weekly comic and you can never have too many Daleks.

Retro Spacewolves
Wed, 05 Oct 2011 21:05:21 GMT
First little test group for a Retro Spacewolf army. I've had a load of old 40K stuff soaking in Detol for months in a effort to strip the paint from plastic models without damaging them, it works wonderfully.
My plan is to repaint my old Space Marine army from the early 90s. Keeping the paint jobs very simple.
This is a project I'll come back to later.
I've already repainted seven Rhino vehicles, including one converted into a Predator and one as a Whirlwind. With one more still soaking in the detol. I'll get pics of the vehicles up soon.
Chimera
Wed, 05 Oct 2011 19:11:45 GMT
An old monster model I've had half painted in a draw for years. Finally got it finished of and based up. It's destined for a game of Song of Blades sometime soon. Rules for it are in Song of Wind and Water.
The Return of The Son of The Mummy: Teams
Wed, 05 Oct 2011 19:04:08 GMT
Back in the mists of time, greedy Prince Karis murdered his father in an attempt to claim the throne of Egypt.
But Karis never sat upon the Throne, the Pharaoh's loyal guardians the Medjai discovered the plot and took terrible revenge.
The Medjai performed upon Karis the Hom Dai, a ritual to seal Karis away as the undead, forever alive but trapped within his sarcophacus.
And there Karis has remained, for 3,000 years.
Until the Treasure Hunters came and disturbed his prison.
Now four powers fight to decide the fate of Karis, and with him the world.
For he would arise a walking disease, a plague upon mankind, an unholy flesh-eater with the strength of the ages, power over the sands, and the glory of invincibility!
And here are our four teams, two of courageous heroes and two of dastardly villains, for The Return of The Son of The Mummy.
The Fezmen
Descendants of those who served Prince Karis now seeking to raise him from the dead and return him to power.
The Germans
The German Army are looking to wield the power of Prince Karis as a weapon, they seek to raise him and use him to conquer the world.
The Medjai
Guardians of the Tomb of Karis, if they can complete the ritual they can seal Karis away for another 1,000 years.
The Americans
Treasure Hunters from the United States, it was their meddling that has awoken Karis' Guards. They need to complete the ritual to ask him where the loot is kept then send him back to the land of the dead.
The rules and scenario are all locked down and we're happy with them now. Changes from the last game made for a more exciting finish.
I'll post up some pics of the Objectives soon.
The Return of The Son of The Mummy
Wed, 05 Oct 2011 15:44:29 GMT
We have a title for the game.
Still have to do fancier versions of the Event Cards, then the Team Cards and we're set.
The Mummy Progress
Tue, 04 Oct 2011 12:06:12 GMT
Further progress on getting The Mummy ready for BLAM.
I've finished the counters and put together mock ups of the Event Cards. Still have the Unit Cards to do.
Painted a pair of DAK troops to replace the Germans we had been using, completing all the figures needed for the game. I'll get some pictures up of all the teams soon.
The Altar is completed, so all the scenery is done. I'm painting a new version of the Dagger on a desert base to fit in better with the scenery.
We'll get another play through tonight before Stargate, trying out the changes after last week game.
The Mummy
Tue, 27 Sep 2011 10:57:14 GMT
The big guy himself, Prince Karis, The Mummy.
All Mummies are from the Gothic Horror range by West Wind.
The Mummy Progress, Mummies!
Tue, 27 Sep 2011 10:43:46 GMT
After nine months of being lost in the brain, I've finally been able to sit down and paint again. So I'm back to The Mummy, with some actual Mummies!

No Giants this week, Lego Ninja instead
Tue, 04 Jan 2011 12:11:29 GMT
No Addam this week, the Giraffe called him back. So we're going with Plan B instead, Spinjitzu the Lego Ninja game.
It doesn't happen often, so take a moment to enjoy the intro video to tonight's game, complete with brain melting theme song.
The Mummy Progress, Campsite Complete
Sat, 11 Dec 2010 02:27:47 GMT
Finished this a little while back but I've just got the pictures done. The completed campsite for the Egyptologists.
I've made a start on the Palm Tree Stands, I'll try and get some WIP pics of them up soon.
Late Change to tonight's game early becomes Dairy of the Dead II: Cabin of Carnage
Tue, 07 Dec 2010 17:06:54 GMT
Addam had to drop out this evening, so the early game is going to be a special presentation of Dairy of the Dead, but not just any Dairy of the Dead, tonight we have the first showing of:
Dairy of the Dead II
Cabin of Carnage
Donpimpom's Mummy
Mon, 22 Nov 2010 18:37:11 GMT
Not progress on my Mummy stuff, but a great game report from Lead Adventurer Donpimpom. Great scenery and a great example of how I'd like our games to work out.
You've got to love a game with a Mummy called HipHopHep. :)
The Mummy Campsite update
Sun, 21 Nov 2010 19:37:07 GMT
The WIP pics I promised the other day. First up, the second stand of Supplies.
The Tents, before paint and canvas.
The Tents have had some paint on them since this was taken. Hopefully I'll get the Canvas on them soon and they'll be finished by Tuesday.
Kings of War Undead Progress Pics
Sun, 21 Nov 2010 19:31:29 GMT
Photo time, here are the current work in progress pics of the Undead Army. Everything has sand on it's base.
Not very exciting, but it's a step closer to getting them finished. Next stage is getting all the models sprayed black. On those who already have an undercoat, I'll paint the odd parts and bases by hand.
The Mummy Progress
Sat, 20 Nov 2010 20:06:42 GMT
Still no photos, but some progress over the last few days.
The second stand of camp supplies is painted and complete.
On the tent front, both tents are boxed in, with tent poles attached and the base is textured. Once the glue drys on the base sand, I'll attach the paper canvas and it will be just a case of painting them.
Once the tents are finished, that's scenery for two of three scenarios complete. Just the village to build and scenery is done.
I've still not picked up any Nitromors to strip and respray the other cultist minis. Depending on the bank I'll try and do that next week.
Kings of War Progress
Sat, 20 Nov 2010 20:02:00 GMT
A little bit of progress, all the bases for the first 500pts of Undead have sand glued to them.
As ever, no photos until I can scrounge Max's camera.
Also I've knocked together a page to keep Army Lists and photos on. The plan is that the photos will be slowly replaced with new ones as each stage of the construction and painting is completed.
A Little More Mummy Progress
Tue, 16 Nov 2010 13:40:43 GMT
I've made a little more progress on the Egyptologist's Camp, the second and final stand of supplies and a basic shape for the tents.
The tents will get a canvas of old newspaper, then texture the base and get it all painted. With a bit of luck the camp should be completed by the end of the week.
