Well, these ones are Finished… However, I have another five to make a start on tomorrow.
Once I have all of the Catalucian’s painted then I will give them all a varnish at the same time.
These are the remaining ones that need an undercoat.
For reasons known only to myself, I bought a drummer! The only thing I can think of is that I was meant to get a sergeant ir something from the command pack and ended up clicking the wrong thing. I just checked and I cannot find him anywhere!
Tonight I worked on a couple of Ono (one armoured) and half a dozen Spider Demon.
Still a lot to do, but they are getting there. When I was sorting out I came across some remnants of my Warmaster armies.
I have at least a couple of empire wagons in the bottom shed, but these are all that is left of my once mighty forces. To be fair I bought the dragon second hand.
Tonight I decided to do a bit on the four guerrillas. It turns out I did more than I expected…
Once again I kept to a limited palette, this does seem to speed things up a bit. There is still a bit to do on them, bu I am definitely over the hump.
This evening I was playing Dad’s Taxi so didn’t really get much time to get anything painted. I did manage to get La Spiga finished as well as get her and my mates minis based too.
I am hoping to get his 15mm undercoated tomorrow as well as get some more of my 6mm Italian wars done.
Flipping heck… I actually managed to get some painting done this evening… I finished the cave and bushes…
I also managed to get my mates Flintloque miniatures done…
I got a good start on my miniature with the sword back left.
This is a super rare Fljntloque miniature, it is no longer available and hasn’t been for years. I spent a good while looking for her and eventually got her in a job lot. Of lTe I decided that she should either go to someone else or get painted. The Silver Bayonet allowed me to get her started as I have decided to go for a Spanish unit and she fits in fine.
I will get some more done on her tomorrow as well as get some of the Irregulars undercoated.
Tonight I made a bit of progress on a couple of the Sisters of Battle. I didn’t get started until late so progress was limited…
Still a very, very, very long way to go. Next thing I need to do is find my armour/black wash so that I can get going on the weapons a bit more.
Hopefully I will get back to them tomorrow night, that is if I don’t get sidetracked by my new toys.
My Alternative Armies order has arrived…
Third from the left was a freebie 😀 but the one I have searched for for many a year is in the centre. At long last I have lady Anna Willorcby…
She is the wife to this chap…
So Mr Beardy came today and I got some nice gifts, but as a family we have been carrying on with our Harry Potter marathon, just watched the fourth film, however it did give me time to get the Hussars finished.
I am really pleased with how these came out colour wise. Totally inaccurate both historically as well as canon in the world of Valon. However I am not really too fussed as I have decided upon the uniforms as C in C of my forces 😉.
This means I am down to the Ostarian artillery and crews to get done for my Flintloque Forces (come to think of it I might have some Cuirassiers to do too). If I have both then I have a dozen miniatures to do (well that is until I buy some more – really interested in Kitton 😍)
Artillery and some of the crew are below… I will have to decide upon the uniform colour for this lot.
I hope everyone has had a great Christmas and look forward to seeing what people got 😉.
Luckily I got some cash as I had a bit of a crisis with my print plate on the printer. The print failed and has left a nasty residue that is about 0.2mm high and is an absolute swine to get off. It might be the case that I need a new plate if I scratch this one too much.
I tried to get these finished tonight… I got so close, but didn’t make it…
Saddle chain, bridle metalwork and the bases to do.
Although not finished, I am really pleased with these. They look how I wanted them to look.
I now have a Mammoth wrapping session to get through before bed. Two of the kids are getting miniatures tomorrow. My youngest is getting some Games Wotkshop Space Marines and my eldest is getting some more miniatures for her Harry Potter game.
So with Christmas Eve soon drawing to a close, I thought I had better check on the location of Mr Beardy…
At the time of writing this he had left Copenhagen and was heading to Alta in Norway… he is getting closer to Shetland….
Wishing all of you who celebrate it a Merry Christmas and if you don’t may you have a awesome day anyway.
All the Best

Tonight I really had a chance to get some stuff painted so I pushed on and got a fair bit done…
Really only the pennants and facial features to do on the riders. Still a fair bit to do on the horses, but again they are getting there.
Hopefully I should get them finished tomorrow night.
Today was a rare one up here…
A completely still day.
I did take a few more photos, but somehow I managed to take a photograph of my feet and my elbow! Looks like the phone’s camera takes a while to operate after I pressed the button.
Tomorrow is meant to be showers with some more wind. Christmas Day is meant to be like today, so hopefully a chance to get some more photos then.
Today has been super busy, lots of running about and very little Christmas related.
But tonight before butchering various beasties on Hunter ‘Call of the Wild’ I managed to get some painting done.
Still a fair old bit of work to do, but the majority of painting on the riders is done (really just hands, weapons and cockade to do). Bridles, saddles and hooves etc for the horses. I think I am going to add some Greenstuff to the saddle to help bed the riders in properly.
Tomorrow is going to involve loads more running about so hopefully I will get the chance to get some more done on these. It would be good to get them all done by Christmas Day.
Regarding this, in case some of you reading this are disappearing for a while. I just wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a prosperous new year.
