Sphincter Beasts

First time I heard about the Sphincter Beast was some rumours floating around the Oldhammer Facebook page and Oldhammer Forum. I never heard of it before and I am still not really sure where they come from.

Apparently it is an old Asgard Miniatures model, but it might or might not have been released, also it might possibly have been some model used to playtest Rogue Trader.

The only previous image I have seen of a model was on the Eldritch Epistles blog, found in Bryan Ansell's collection, but that doesn't really give many new clues to the mystery.

So when I by accident came across these two fellows on Ebay I snatched them up and I tried to give them a similar paintjob to the one from Bryan Ansell's collection. So here they are.

Sorry, No Blog Post This Month

Hello All.

I am sorry, but this month won't have any real update. I have a few finished projects I would like to post about soon, but I have been dealing with some health issues and just havn't had the energy to clear the desc, set up for photo shoot and post about it.

I just wanted to make clear that I am not planning to close down the blog and even though I am continueing in a slow pace I really hope to keep up for many years to come.

Hopefully next month will see me post about my recently painted Jabberwock, my finished unit of 6 Tyranid Warriors and the continuation of my Medieval Squats project (Or Dragon Rampant Dwarf Army as it is being used for currently).

And also an upcoming blog post about these guys I found on Ebay:

For now, take care and I'll be back soon.

Dragon Rampant - Dwarfs vs. Chaos Part II

Okay, onto Part II... After the Dwarfs had had their meal they searched the battlefield and found a magic cockring, belonging to the Chaos Lord, and of course he would very much like it back.

In this scenario the Dwarfs were again defending the small village, this time placed on the tabble edge, and the Chaos Hordes were charging in to take back the magic cockring.

The magic cockring had been given to the Dwarf Wizard, unknowingly to the Chaos Hordes. So the Chaos side had to destroy the Dwarf units one by one to see which had the ring. The catch is that if the unit carrying the ring ends up the last Dwarf unit, the cockring will explode to protect itself and thus devastating every last unit on the tabble.

Constantly rejuvenated by the Dwarf Wizard,
the Command group quickly makes an end to the Hounds.

Turn around and fight the Chaos Warriors.

A lone Chaos Warrior faces the Wizard, only to be flattened by a spell.

This battle too ended in a big victory for the Dwarfs. The Wizard really did his part and also the unpainted Dwarfs with crossbows finally managed to make some damge with their bolts.

Roumors say that a Necromancer has fixed his eye on the mighty Dwarf Warband, so I suspect that their next foe might be an Undead Horde.

Dragon Rampant - Dwarfs vs. Chaos Part I

First of all, I am sorry, but unpainted miniatures took part in this battle report.

Today I met up with my friend Dr. The Viking, from over at Dr. The Viking's Miniature Games Hell, the planned event was a few games of Dragon Rampant. My Dwarfs against his invading Chaos forces.

In this first scenario my Dwarfs had set up camp, in a small village, and their world famous cook, Gordon McDwarfsee, was roasting up some boars in the local inn. The succulent smell of pork could be experienced miles away and a hungry Chaos warband soon emerged in the outskirts of the village, to steel the precious meals away from the Dwarfs.

In the end only the Kobolds was left on the side of Chaos and there was no way they would get to the Inn in time, so we ended the game and the Dwarfs could get on with their meal.
