The Silver Bayonet Bad Guys

 

Just realised that I hadn’t posted anything about the Tsemaus, so here goes: 

For The New Canada Expansion I needed a Tsemaus! 
I had no Idea what this was so I searched it up on the net.

When i found out what it was I decided I would make one!

I looked for a suitable base miniature & found a Kinder Egg Dolphin figure.

I cut off the lower half the filled & glued it together as well as pointing off the nose.
I then made a dorsal fin from a bit of plasticard & logs from scribed plastic rod.






I've also painted a Polar Bear, Moose & a Baxbaxwalanuksiwe from North Star. 
I also re-based a Bears Head miniatures (Now from Bad Squiddo Games) Wendigo 
& Black Bear (dont know where I got that from)


Below are a couple of Cultists

A Demon From RAFM

Converted figures for The Silver Bayonet

Finally another sporadic blog update 😁

I've been finishing up more stuff for The Silver Bayonet.

So to start i finally found a miniature to use for a Heavy cavalryman. The base figure is Lord Byron from Matchlock Miniatures,The Regency Zombie Hunters range sold by Minifigs/Caliver Books. 

I added some cuffs, turnbacks & widened the front of the coat, tweaked the waist coat to look more like a military fatigue jacket & added a sash

I then made a sword scabbard from some flattened copper wire with fittings, straps, links & sword knot made from greenstuff/brownstuff & fuse wire.

Here's the pictures of the Heavy Cavalryman








I wanted to add a Highwayman to the Unit, so I bought the pack of Beedles & Watchmen from the Irish Uprising range sold by Skytrex Military Models. 

There's three figures to a pack with separate heads, I already had a use for 2 of the miniatures.

I used a bare head that i had kicking about & made a battered top hat & neckerchief mask from greenstuff to make him look like what I imagined a Highwayman to be like.



I also used the figure with the Blunderbuss as a Coachman, I just used the standard figure for this without any modifications.
 



Finally, I picked up the issue of Wargames Illustrated with the free sprue of Plastic Warlord Games French Napoleonic Infantry.

First of all I cut off the muskets, I liked the look of the figures with the arm still across the chest, as if it was muscle memory from marching with the muskets.

Next I cut off the head from the Shako, gluing on a Zombie head from the old  Studio miniatures WW2 german Zombies.

I also added an arm to one the figures to make it look like it was carrying & eating it as it was walking along.




Cheers

Solo Game of The Silver Bayonet

 

I played a few Solo games of The Silver Bayonet while I was working away.

I have been able to get some 2d Neoprene Terrain, to make transport easier (its not as immersive as some nice 3d terrain though ☹️) 

What follows are a few photos for solo scenario 2 ‘The Ruined Chapel’

This scenario pits the Silver Bayonet unit against some revenants & a vampire whilst trying to investigate a ruined chapel (strangely enough 🤔)

Initial set up. I did forget to bring the gravestones, so the skeleton tokens are standing in 😁

The Vampire Makes an appearance


Everyone decides discretion is the better part of valor, and flees before the vampire


In the final couple of turns, poor Corporal Black can’t quite outrun the Vampire & was wounded & immediately had a seizure & collapsed. 

When he eventually returned to base, it was noted that he had gone insane & he was dispatched straight to Bedlam 



All packed ready to take back home, it all packs into 2 boxes & a mat bag
