Knights and Guards

Well I got a start on the military types this evening

The guards are from the Guards employed by Lord Grennith.  He is one of the five rulers of Traitor’s Toll.

The knights in the back are… random…. But have a lot of red, yellow and blue…can’t think why!

Dad’s Taxi

Well I was going to get painting this evening but was required to rescue an offspring from the south of the island… So no painting achieved.

Pretty cool sea and sky on the way down.

Next!

Was back to work today so got these out, photographed them, then went Nahhh will do them tomorrow…

On the left six knights/ yeomen and on the right we have the city Guards. I wonder if the back left us called Colon. Can’t be Vimes at the rear as he has plumes in his helmet. Unless of course it is a civic event and good old Sybil will make sure he looks smart.

More Civilians

Well these were a bit quick… All done in a short time

A Goose girl, Flautist, Bloke with a snake and a posh lady with evil intent, either that or she is about to chop vegetables.

I have more Undercoated ready for tomorrow.

They will probably take longer as they are a mix of knights and Guards so will need their livery done.

Sorry

Apologies up front…

Over time I have developed a phobia of German Sausage… now I always fear the Wurst!

Sorry I just had to!

Sod All Done

Well I have a couple of excuses… First being I am still need three or four hours of sleep during the day. I get to about 14.00 at the latest then go rapidly downhill. Second is my daughter lost a tiny phial of brine shrimp eggs and we spent an absolute age trying to find them

I did eventually get my Mounted Borgia miniature from Alternative Armies, to be fair to them I got it last week. To say sorry they shoved in a wood pile and a simple well. This was nice of them as I had two dismounted miniatures so…

Coming Home

What’s a place you visited that felt like home?

The odd thing is, when I first rolled off the ferry in Lerwick in February 2006 to attend my interview I honestly felt like I had come home.

Luckily I got the job and am still here. I have lived here longer than anywhere else in the UK and it now is home. I have lived in this house for 18 years now so… Yeah home.

Not a bad place to live!

Painting & a Map

Well I ended up off work today. Totally knackered, ended up asleep for about three hours this afternoon.

I did however manage to get the civilians started…

I also finished my map I started when I was coming back on the boat…

Just about finished me off, so I reckon I will be off again tomorrow unless I suddenly bounce back.

A Smidge of Painting.

I am definitely a few twinkles short of a rainbow at the minute so I really didn’t fancy doing anything at all. As you can imagine I really had to force myself to get these progressed.

Can you tell that I hadn’t realised that I basically had the same bloke with a bag. Thankfully their lower halves are different. One is barefoot and the other has trousers and boots. The rear one also carries a pickaxe.
