Wasteland Wondering



Hello and welcome back to another Wasteland Wondering, 


Due to the CV-19 virus that is plaguing the globe at present I find myself with a lot of time on my hands. My wife is at risk from the virus. As a result both her and I are in social distancing for the next 12 weeks. 


Luckily I have plenty of hobby to got at. 


There is loads of figures in the pile of shame which with my wife’s running daily dialysis and regular cat interference should keep me busy for at least two years. 


In addition there is 3 x Ramshackle games cargo haulers, A Ork buggy, a fantasy house, Ainsty Bus gang hideout, 3 x alternative armies 15mm apc’s, 15mm Hammers Slammers combat cars & blower tanks, 4 x 15mm M113 APC conversions, FOGOU 28mm Scrap wall Kickstarter to paint, FOGOU sand village Kickstarter to paint. That’s just the stuff off the top of my head. 


There is a few model kits to get built too and lots of terrain to update. Then there is the endless list of ideas I would like to build. 


So what else is happening on Mattblackgod’s World? I have been playing Rage 2 on the PS4. The game pretty much fits MBW perfectly. It has been inspiring me. I would like to build something like the Arks in the game (think of high tech bunker). It would make for a great game objective. No idea what the track bits are for on the top. 



One thing I have been considering is changing The Kraptoidiots Corporation (K2I) modus operandi. At present they supply very addictive food/drugs to settlements across the wastelands. I am thinking that they will start to “recruit”/press gang/kidnap people as slaves from smaller settlements. 



The figures I use for the K2I goons are 40K Catachans. I am thinking of updating the figures to a more wasteland look. Despite the tweaks that they have had the force still has a too uniform look. 



Hopefully I will have some figures painted soon so I can share some pictures with you. 


Thanks for reading. Stay safe and health out there.

Mytharth characters.

Time for another visit to the fantasy world of Myarth. 






Vaan the Barbarian 




Vaan hails from the barbarian lands and is in the barbarian warband of the Sorceress of Eagle Mountain. I plan on using this figure in my Frostgrave games. The figure is a Barbarian Queen by Copplestone Miniatures. 


Invisas Univasitas

The largest city on the world of Mytharth is Lienad. One of the reasons this city holds so much power is the Invisas Univasitas - the Wizard University. Having so many spell casters on hand has stopped neighbouring cities and countries from attempting to sack the city. 


The Invisas Univasitas is Mytharth’s only wizard school and many of it’s members live on campus. The pointed wizard hat is a symbol of wizard office and only worn by wizards of the school. There is no standard style to the hat and they are as often as different as the wizards. 


Wizards don’t always get on and while bickering is common there are serious rivalries in the University.



Susliad the Pink is a senior wizard from Invisas univasitas. He is currently searching the magical ruins with his apprentice Harry Wotsazname looking for spells and riches. He is currently hiring mercenaries to assist his work in the ruins. Susliad the Pink is by Copplestone Castings. 



Dewin Glas the blue is a senior wizard from Invisas Univasitas. He is currently searching the magical ruins looking for spells and riches. He is currently looking to hire an apprentice and mercenaries to assist his work in the ruins. Dewin Glas has a long lasting rivalry with Susliad and will do anything to beat him. Dewin Glas is by Copplestone Castings. 



Marwoleth is a untrained wizard interested in necromancy. He has recently been recruited as apprentice by Skullator. They are headed to the magical ruins in search of loot. Marwoleth is by Copplestone Castings. 



Harry Wotsazname is a student at Invisas univasitas. He has been recruited by Susliad the pink as an apprentice. Harry Wotsazname is by Copplestone Castings. 



This gold chest is an objective for my fantasy games. It is made by Northstar games from the Frostgrave line.


It has taken a while to get these finished. Life has kept me busy. 


Stay healthy and safe out there. Thanks for reading.
