Technically it should be Paint Them Black, but I like the song so now you know.
Yes tonight I decided I had better make some progress on the Sisters of Battle…
That seemed to be the longest painting session ever, Ten miniatures painted black. I would seriously hate to do an army… on the up side the Contrast paint went over the white craft acrylic without a problem.
These things have annoyed me from day one of their builds, hopefully things will improve soon. I am now off to watch a video on how to highlight black.
I was going to get some colour on either the squire or knight but decided that I really couldn’t be bothered.
As I love the far side, I thought I would share another one that I got sent… pretty much sums up my day today…
Well to start off: With ten minutes to go before the end of the year I just want to wish everyone who is reading this health, wealth and happiness from this point onwards.
I worked on the last three sisters today and managed to get them finished. So that’s it, the last thing I did in 2020 was to get them finished.
Starting the new year will be this fine fellow and his entourage…
Unfortunately he has lost his back banner, so I am not sure whether to print one or build one or say sod it and just fill the hole in his back.
So that’s it apart from pointing out that my pass the Pigs luck hasn’t changed…
The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men Gang aft a-gley,
So if you remember yesterday’s post, where I waxed lyrical about how I was going to (and I quote)…
“My plan therefore is to try and keep to one thing at a time. As I am not doing a One Ring for a while my Patreon models will keep as will my Neolithic hunter models (that haven’t been printed yet). So here goes. I will endeavour to get all of my samurai 6mm terrain painted and sorted ready for some games. I have a 6mm army so then I can use them in that.
After that get The Khmer army painted and based so that the Samurai have someone historical to fight. After this get the 15mm Samurai miniatures and terrain finished, then move back to get the 6mm Baccus army painted. This way I am not getting bogged down on one project, but I need stuff done. A few people have been doing a tray at a time. I really think that I am going to need to do that to keep me focused. Wish me luck!”
So how am I doing so far? Well have a guess!
Knackers here totally forgot that he was supplying the Arachnids for the Starship Troopers game tomorrow. So instead of painting fences or teeny tiny Samurai, I have been building giant bugs, what makes it worse is that I am building the things that will cause my character’s demise. How crap is that!
So far I have five warriors here, plus two more in the shed, these are the first two hopper bugs out of the six I have. I also have a Tanker and a Plasma bug and half a dose Firefries. We are going to die! For tomorrow these are going to have to be bare plastic, I will try and get them painted over the weekend. I still have another ten warriors to make in this box, I honestly doubt I will need the two boxes still in plastic.
Funnily enough I nearly sold these off a few months ago as I never thought that I would ever get around to using them.. silly me!
Today however I was shared some images of some Lego Bugs, , Troopers and a troop dropship… might just have a peek at them…no painting required! 😉
