This evening I managed to get these pretty much finished apart from the bases.
Managed to get to 22.30 without a nap today so I think I have turned a corner.
Another Lot Done
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.
Brigands and Civilians
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…
Just About Done
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.
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
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.
Barbarians Built
Well I decided to get these finished.
As you can see they brought a couple of little friends with them. Not exactly a dread hunting pack. Where someone else might have bears or wolves they have a pair of foxes. Wolves I have plenty of. Foxes…two!
The one thing that kind of bugged me with these were the way the bits were fastened to the sprue.
Bugged is maybe too strong a word, luckily I have sharp cutters and files. Trying to get these off with a knife would have been an absolute sod. It literally is 25% of the base of the arm. There were others just as bad.
So maybe I will get to start painting stuff again sometime. I have forced myself off the console and onto the kitchen table to get back into things again. The backlog is starting to pile up. I was going to say ‘again’ there, but higher is probably a better description.
