Cyberpunk Psychic and Christmas Sniper

For Hardwired you only need 4 agents on a team. I've decided that if some of my agents die, I have to paint up a new one. This psyker model is from Endure the Stars (that I scored for cheap and flipped to make it free). It's a pretty cool model, decided to go for bright cyberpunk colors.

The base is a first for me, it's made with a greenstuff world rolling pin on 1mm xps foam, glue to 1 mm renedra base.

Over on the Discord server there's a lot of cool people. For Christmas we had a miniature secret santa. Members made a wish list for settings, then got a random member to make a wish come true. I made the below miniature for a guy wanting something scifi.

It's a kit bash. The body is a Gate of Antares concord model, the head is a resin bit from Anvil Industry. The augmetic arm and gun is from a GW necron. Added a drone from a GW mechanicus head with some twisted wires. The pointing finger is from Mantic GCPS.

I really like the look on this guy, kindda envious and might build him again.

Let's Play: Hardwired - Scientist Capture / Extraction

In this game of Hardwired my agetns are send into a jungle to capture and extract a valuable scientist. H-sec is already swarming the area and they will have to work quickly to get it done.

Recorded a full Let's Play and put it on Youtube.

Here's a bunch of photos from the terrain setup. Used my home made aquarium plant jungle and a 4ground control center I once bought on a sale from Northstar.

Let's Play: Hardwired - Junk Yard Clearout

Had a couple of Hardwired games, solo on the twitch. An elegant little system and with a bit of planned out terrain you can easily play to games in a single night.

For the first game my agents are moving into a junkyard trying to clear out some people living there, the space need using for something else.

Wanted to play on my dessert map, but have to build some more sand terrain, fitting the mat.

Unfortuantely Patrick Todoroff has been hit with some annoying legal trouble and has to rename the game system to something else. So we'll see what comes of that.

Frostgrave: Thaurmaturge warband and bear

Wizard and Apprentice

I've been having these models in a bag for years, knowing I would use them for a wizard at some point - and FG 2nd edition got them made. Got these two old metal miniatures in a big trade. Bought a huge box of models and bits, sorted and resold - ending up with lots of cool free stuff.

The wizard really looks like an arrogant better than you type of mage, funny for the holy priest look. But that's what I'm going for, an over zealous demon and witch hunter warband.

For colors I've gone with white, gold and a tiny bit of gold. This guy will also be a wizard in my human Oathmark army.

The apprentice is actually part of an old metal cannon crew. I've done a minimum amount of conversion on him, adding some pouches, parchment and daggers.

Templar, archer and thug

Templar: This is a Mantic Games dictator from KoW: Vanguard. It's a game I never really got around to actually playing. But the models is so Heroes of Might and Magic III cool, had to include in this themed warband. Also with a bunch of white, huge amount of metal and some gold details - this is the martial leader of the warband.

The archer is from KoW: Vanguard as well, a female ranger typer. I like the crouching pose on her.

The thug is made from the Oathmark human kit, added a frostgrave backpack and gave him a club - fitting for the clerical theme af the warband.

Infantrymen and bear

The male infantryman is a conversion. He's made from an Oathmark human body, added some dwarf heavy infantry arms and mace. The head is a cool brettonia men-at-arms bit, love that helmet. I really like this model.

The female is nearly straight from the Soldiers II kit for Frostgrave, with some conversion done to the mace. I'm not super excited about this build actually, I think the model is a bit too skinny. Would like more bulk for a soldier like an infantrywoman.

The bear is from Ramshackle Games, actually a scifi / postapoc model with a power armored rider and exhaust ports on the bears armor. I chop / sawed away all the scifi bits, so it just looks like regular armor. This bear is huge and reminds me of His Dark Materials / Golden Compass armor bears. I need to paint up a second one, just like it. The warband can summon two of these beasts at the same time.

Thieves

For my thieves I've used models straight from the box. Both these guys are part of the Dunkeldorf Miniatures line. The mutant thief is part of the warband for unknown reasons. For some secret reason, the demon and witch hunting thaurmaturge hasn't slain this one. Some kind of debt is in place to keep him in the warband.

The other guy, Linus, with the small candle and keys is a thief as well. An expert lock pick and sneaky type. Not a zealot in any way, his simple hired on for his talents. I've made sure to add a simple dagger bit to this guy, as he was unarmed.
