This week, I finished another 30 of the 15mm medieval figures from the Joan of Arc game. First up are 10 knights, nine with axes and one with a warhammer.

Firehall
Back in April, I picked up this firehall at the model railway swap meet. I think I paid $10?

25mm Star Wars Smugglers
One of the challenges of collecting old figures is that you end up with a lot of duplicates. This is great news if the duplicates are stormtroopers. Less so if the extras are named characters. How many Han Solos do you need? My solution is to paint up a bunch as generic smugglers for Xenos rampant units (probably as some kind of skirmishing light infantry).

15mm Elven archers
I painted up some more of the 15mm Joan of Arc figures I bought. I wasn't sure what these mounted archers were supposed to represent in medieval France (maybe Saracens for the crusades?). Anyhow, they looked more like elves to me, so that's how I treated them.

15mm Billmen and Archers
I was looking around for figures to expand my 15mm armies and ran across some extras someone was selling from a kickstarter game called Joan of Arc. Beautiful figures from an apparently unplayable game. Anyhow, I worked my way through some of the 15mm archers and billmen.

Star Trek Runabout
A couple of years back, I was putting together some 28mm STTNG-era crews and I ran across this shuttle pod.
It was from the Action Fleet series and was close enough to scale to work. I also got four STTOS shuttles in the same lot.
It included a pilot (maybe Picard?) and you could open it up to play. It looks like there is a warp core in the cargo area that you can eject (it comes out).

15mm giant eagles
Today, I painted up five 15mm giant eagles. These are from the LotR Risk game. I thought they were pretty lame sculpts at first. Black primer and a white dry brush and then I started picking out details and layering colours to create some texture.

15mm Elven and Wraith Riders
The LotR Risk game also provided me with lots of 15mm Elven riders as well as wraiths on horses, so I decided to paint up a few of each.

15mm Trolls
This week, I knocked off some 15mm trolls. These are figures from the LotR Risk game and, for the pennes they cost, are a great deal.

More 15mm Elven archers
I painted these in a more of a High Elf style, thinking that they would represent massed archers.
Overall, they fit in alright with the Battlelore figures I have and I think I fixed the overly minty highlights on the bases.
They also fit in with the 15mm metals that I have from Splintered Light Miniatures. The rest of the figures for the army will be coming from there so that's good!
Up next: More 15mm plastics.

Terrain and random figures
A mixed set of figures this week. First up are some more stairs for the Mageknight Dungeon tiles.
