This big guy was supposed to be finished last week, for National Badger Day. Stuff kept getting in the way.
But it's still Brocktober (definitely a thing, I'm sure), so here he is! :)

Another 3 sculpts for Burrows & Badgers - a Witch Hunter Hare, a Hillfolk Clanbeast Shrew, & an Illuminator-Sargeant Weasel.
Maybe they'll even get released before the end of the year! Probably not, given the way things are going... still, there's always Salute next April! ;)

My first attempt at a Maschinen Kreiger build. It's a Mk1 SAFS kit (Nitto series 4), with the addition of a couple of fake nails, and lots of putty!

Three more sculpts for Burrows & Badgers - these are Routiers, from General Alban deBrandt's Freebeast mercenary army. A hedgehog, and a couple of mice.
The hedgehog's inspired by a sketch Peter Johnston did (great illustrator - if you have a project needing art, hire him! :) )

Two more sculpts for Burrows & Badgers - a Mole warrior-priest for the Witch Hunters, and a Squirrel Stable Ghast for the Undead.
Natural enemies! :)

Building a MaK SAFS... I've made a base, which TBH doesn't really add anything, so I'll probably lose that. And the pistol's not really working either... I'll see how it goes.
Insignia next, followed by the fun bit - weathering! :)

This is one of those models which I really like in hand, but struggle to find a good photo angle for...
Black Rat Kindred Knight, for Burrows & Badgers.

Obligatory Salute map... but we're much easier to find this year! Just walk straight in and look for the Warlord stand on your right. Then walk past to our stand next to them!
We have the book, two starter Bands, Rosters, a 'getting started' thing, White Mouse mini, & Otter knight mini, for £100.

I meant to put this one in my last post, but forgot... here's the two starter bands, getting released this month. (The objective markers in the previous post are included as well.)

A Royalist Hound knight, and some objective markers... all Bands need three objective markers in the new version of Burrows & Badgers. It can be fun to make your own, but we've done these just to make it easy to get started.

A couple of Royalist squires, ready to provide support to their Knights:
Delfort Swiftpad, Rabbit, One Handed Weapon, Bow, Buckler.
And Marley Grumbert, Mouse, One Handed Weapon, Bow, Buckler.
These will be in the new Starter Bands, released (hopefully!) at Salute in April.

A couple of otters... both heavily armoured, but one looks like a psychotic killing machine and the other looks a bit more friendly. He'd probably still poke you with his spear if you diss the Reinerts, though; the Royalists are like that! :)

As people have been asking, yes, we will be selling the new Burrows & Badgers rulebook on our webstore once it is released (we're still on with editing at the moment!), and yes, there will be a bonus mini.
Here's mine, as a green, and painted; the mysterious White Mouse... :)

I’m going to finally build & paint some Crimson Fists. I’ve been planning this project for a years… it’s actually for 3rd edition 40K! I’m going to start small, with a 400 point list. Two done: a Scout, and a Tactical Sergeant.
