The House of Blues...

 o/

I'll bet you thought the title was sort of pun...

I finished my second Quar building, this time a larger home that is slightly grander than the last. This one has a covered porch, raised rafters, metal chimney, and built in storeroom (or possibly a loo?). It is also painted in what was no doubt traditional Coftyran Royal Blue, marking this as possibly a home of a retired military officer. However, said paint is long faded and worn. This house is in a similar state to the first one, with crude repairs effected to cover some of the holes. 

I kinda like the chicken coop styled windows. 

I remembered to put a rhyfler in a pic for scale. 

Storeroom or a loo?

The whole floorplan.

My forlorn little hamlet is starting to take shape. 

Good Bones, just needs a little TLC...

Anyone who has house hunted in the past few years has no doubt seen a listing like this. Usually, the photo is blurry though.

This is the first of two rough and tumble houses to go with a third that is in ruins for my Quar to hopefully someday fight over/around. This is a 3D print off of Etsy, and thanks to all of the woodgrains (and print lines) it painted up quick & easily. 

If pa's going to take you out behind the woodshed for a whipping...well, you two won't have far to go.

I primed it light brown, and the rest was mainly dry brushing and inking. The second house is a bit more detailed with a covered porch and small side room, so will likely take longer to paint. As will the ruined house. 

How about that joinery around the chimney?

I probably didn't need to paint the inside of this as the Quar will never be fighting up in the rafters.

I know what you're thinking: Where's the fireplace that goes with that Chimney?

The Quar...again.

Five more, ready and raring to go to...probably just collect dust.

I got burned out painting Battletech stuff, and Star Wars Legion is more or less on the backburner as my opponent Tom has gone more or less MIA. Gaming wise that is. He is alive & well, however is always busy and lacks the time to play. 

So, why not minis for something else I don't play, right? Right. 

My two Toulmore Mortar Quar. The different color rims of the bases are for their differing teams. Tomorrow's shipment will have 2 loaders who will also be carrying mortar ammo packs as well as a bogen (rifle) to defend said teams. 

Mortar teams don't benefit from the 'team' rule, but there are few hard & fast rules on assembling your forces, so my Toulmore mortars teams will be of two Quar apiece.

Besides, Asmodee is a lot of GW'ish tendencies/aspirations that make spending more $$$ on Legion a questionable endeavor. Not to mention Tom aside, 90%+ of the player base seem to be meta hopping/uber-combo shopping WAAC players, which...does not appeal. 

My forthcoming Is-Caerten's command team, a Yawdryl (Sgt.) on the left and cook on the right.

I like how it looks like he is pushing aside this stand of brush. The red skin was a bit more vibrant than intended, so I only painted this one Quar like that.

A 2nd Ryshi gunner to flesh out the squad. A Ryshi is essentially a short barreled Anti-tank (or Tractor in the Quar's case) rifle, with a bayonet as they are a bit unwieldy as point blank range.

If you haven't already noticed, I've tufted the hell out of their bases. I love the unruly riot of weeds & wild flowers that they are walking through.

There is another fan of the Quar in the area, I don't know what he does for a living, but I've only ever seen him at the FLGS in person maybe 2-3 times since moving here. So, there's that. Nonetheless, I like the little guys and have another 14 arriving tomorrow: A 12 strong Toulmore rhyfler squad (two of which will go to the mortar teams), a Crusader Is-Caerten (Lt.) and a special character looking guy that I just thought looked neat. I may just put him on a pedestal if I can find one and paint him up like a statue. We shall see I guess.

Like 40k, or SWL, who are the good guys vs. who are the bad, is open to interpretation. That said, these guys are stomping thru enough flowers to give a nod to the notion of not being the good guys.

Previously I had these on 20mm bases, in hopes of fighting in my caverns terrain. Maybe if I get some  Fidowggers I'll revisit that idea.
