So I made a start on the undercoated lot from yesterday…
Made a start on five, nine left to go.
I was in our scrap store today, a charity organisation that employs adults with learning difficulties. I saw this interesting box…
Hopefully I will carry on painting tomorrow…
If you could pick any fictional animal to be your lifelong companion (like a Pokémon or fantasy pet), what would it be?
Well I must admit I have wracked my brains and pretty much drew a blank from literature. It could have been a cop out and given a stereotypical fantasy answer… Not going to say what as I don’t want to offend anyone.
So anyway literature seems to be up the Swannie (is this a family expression or more widespread?)
So I started looking at Gaming and then thought about the shoulder pets in Ark Survival Evolved and an answer just popped into my head.
This is a Shinehorn. It is a ‘Glow Pet’. This little creature has a built in light system to allow exploration in the dark. It has its own inventory so can be used as a backpack. It is rubbish in a fight and quite frankly I don’t use them any more in game. But think of the savings in Torch batteries.
And ready to go.
I was so knackered that I had a bit of an afternoon nap. Then really couldn’t be arsed so this is as far as it got.
Well I managed a smidge more painting this evening…
Just the bases left to go on these… I may do a little more on the foxes.
Managed a bit more painting this evening. Not a huge amount but there is definitely less white now. I would actually say it is the feathers on the shields and some hair on some of the models. Tomorrow I will get all the straps sorted on the weapons etc.
This evening I got a bit further on this lot.
So pretty much the weapons, bits of armour and bits and pieces left to do.
Maybe another couple of evenings will have them finished.
And Women…
Well, that’s this evening’s paint flinging over for a bit.
If I were to be honest I would say that I am not enjoying painting them. Part of me thinks that I really didn’t enjoy building them either.
So for my five leagues I have:
My Heroes,
Undead types,
The Sons of the Dragon’s Blood,
The Northmen,
I am going to use GW Mordor Orcs as Brigands etc. it’s what I used in my One Ring RPG.
I also have painted ‘Hobbit’ Goblins as well as the GW Moria Goblins.
Civilians are courtesy of Guards of Traitors Toll.
I can use my Rohan and Gondor Miniatures too. So quite a bit to faff about with them too.
Yes I pulled my finger out and made a start on the Barbarians from the North. I had undercoated them earlier in the day.
As you can see, it is just a start! One colour so far
Didn’t really get that much done today. I got the basing material onto the good guys and when dried got them and the cultist bases painted. One in the middle looks a bit darker as some idiot threw red on by accident and instead of wiping it off tried to hide it by slapping the brown on.
I have been busy with the computer….sadly it died so yesterday I decided to try and fix it.
My mate was wanting some stuff 3D printed so I needed my machine to slice the files.
I decided to wipe the machine so have had to start redownloading my necessary software.
Well as I was painting the cult miniatures the name just popped into my head….
The amount of red on the person denotes the standing in the cult. Once again as painting them the idea arrived.
I am having an easy day today as I am absolutely buggered.
