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.
Just About Done
Getting There
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.
Further work on the Northmen
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.
The Northmen…
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.
Start of the Northmen
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
Not a Huge Amount
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.
Sons of the Dragon’s Blood
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.
Scale…
Miniatures and buildings…
So merrily completing the Italian Wars stuff it dawned on me I might need some terrain. Now I have got woods etc, so no problem there, but what about buildings…
Now this is one I made… Scale of the house fits the scale of miniature at a 1:1 ratio.
But when you get a force where one miniatures might be 10 or even 50 men. The house would then be massive by that premise.
So the question is what do you do. I know some people scale the buildings down to denote a larger settlement. I find that hurts my head.
Financial Success and my Mindset
How does your mindset affect your financial success?
Well this is a turn up for the books I never realised they were linked… Probably why I am skint.
An Interesting News Headline
Skydiver survives 10,000ft fall with no parachute until last moment.
Well I think that’s how it would generally work…
You survive the first 10,000 feet and then the only thing that is likely to survive a fall like that is in fact a corpse.
As it happens the lady in question pulled the ripcord at 1000 feet so technically she fell 9000 feet without using a parachute!
Lazy titling, AI generated or click bait…who knows.
Now to be honest, it does happen…Nicholas Stephen Alkemade was a tail gunner in a burning Lancaster who decided to jump without a parachute rather than burning. Fell about 18000 feet and lived to tell the tale. He died in 1987.
