I worked on these a bit today…
I shall carry on in a bit and get more done. Hopefully tomorrow will be undercoat time and then onto painting.
After that…who knows.
Does anyone have any ideas…I have too many. I am going to make plaster rocks, as well as using expanding foam for hills… But I reckon how to make Wargames Terrain by GW will be coming out soon lol.
So last night I decided that although nearly finished I had gone off the Sisters. As the title says, they are now growing on me.
A few things struck me today. The First being I absolutely detested painting up my mates 40k Nuns with Guns. Perhaps it biased me a bit. The second is that I just finished a lot of brightly coloured knights, although there was a lot of armour, there was enough bright colours to nullify it a bit. Also let’s not forget I have had a really tricky start to my new job. Stress levels have been through the roof, so perhaps this influenced how I felt.
The other thing that struck me was that I really am not too keen on the two on the left, and to be honest it is mainly the second one in. I am peeved that the leader has her left hand on backwards, not that you can really tell at first glance…
A big thanks to John and Az for the positive vibes.
Tomorrow my son wants to paint things and I have three frog riders to do so back to bright colours.
Well after walking the dog I came back in and set to work on these, fully intending to do only a little bit and instead I pushed on and nearly got them done.
I am going to be honest here, I kind of don’t like them. Really not sure why! They are painted to my usual ‘slap it on’ style. Maybe it is the colour pallette, maybe because I had to start them again, or the fact they were printed nearly two years ago. Whatever the reason I will be really glad to see the back of them.
I will finish them tomorrow and maybe with Wednesday eyes I might feel a bit happier with them. On the upside I took a better photo today.
So this evening I got my finger out and did a bit more on the Sisters…
Apologies for the bit of a blurry photo. I actually thought my eyes had given up the ghost. I have added gold and ‘enchanted’ iron as well as some leather too. I reckon i will be done in another couple of evenings if I keep cracking on.
Well if you remember I finished my dwarven warband for Mordheim. I did have to proxy a couple of miniatures for inexperienced fighters. This has now been solved by Highland Miniatures bringing out some dwarf rangers.
So here we have a pair of lightly armoured dwarves. The mounted one in the background is there because there was space on the build plate.
Well that’s the final dwarf done…
Here is the full warband with the crossbow being the final one.
Not sure where to go next. More Mordheim or something different.
Snow is melting now, by by all accounts it might be back on Tuesday.
This evening I got another couple of dwarves done. This takes the total to five out of the six starting miniatures.
This leaves only the crossbow to go. Luckily he is half way done…
Hopefully I will get him done tomorrow.
I managed to get a bit more done on my goblin general…or rather his mount.
So another Snow Day… getting a bit same old, same old. Snow still coming down intermittently.
This evening I finished these two…
That leaves three to go on the dwarves.
Well all schools were off today and I was on Child protection training all day. My daughter and I were going to do some more stuff on Ark, but sadly it needed a 7GB update so I painted while we watched ‘The Mitchell’s Versus the Machines’.
I would have got a lot further but my good lady forgot to turn the bath off. Water intake outpaced the overflow and to cut a long story short we have no dry towels. On the upside we have a concrete floor under the Lino and it is a single story house.
So back to the painting I eventually went. I managed to get this far…
Still a long way to go, but getting there, with these three anyway.
Snow is still here and the temperatures have dropped way below zero.
Tonight I managed to get the berserker finished. I slapped a bit of paint on some of the others too.
I will work on the rest tomorrow.
As the female engineer actually has more than just her face painted then I think subconsciously that she is joining this warband.
