Christmas Jägerhund

Well it is Christmas Day for another 10 minutes.

To be honest it has been a good one, if a bit wierd without the in laws here for lunch. My kids have had a super day. I was very fortunate to receive a whole host of Flintloque for my presents.

I received a re-animator for my undead, a field hospital for the Ferach, some Ostarian Jäger from my good lady, then some dismounted Ferach Guard cavalry, Elven ladies, dwarf civilians and Towern Marske for my Trollkin.

I also received a book on Bree (for my One Ring roleplaying campaign) from my friends. I would put a photo up, but I cannot be bothered to go and get it.

Lots of goodies…

I have relaxed my paint what I got first as these were presents. So I randomly chose a packet from the box and the Jägerhund came out first.

they are nice sculpts, with the minimum amount of flash… basically I could only find any on the cartridge box, there might b3 some more but it is lost in the clothing.

I was originally going to paint them green, but decided instead to go for the grey with green trimmed uniforms. Although I like painting them how I want, I do actually like the actual colours of their historical counterparts.

Hopefully I will get these finished tomorrow.

Well Christmas Day is over here for another day, I hope everyone has had a relaxed one. Here is to 2018.

Colours …. Again

I received a message on Facebook asking if I sold my flags. I don’t, but I did him a couple of sets as I enjoy doing them.

Zoltan’s 666th regiment and a Werewolf regiment both regimental and colonel’s colours.

I was a bit miffed that my metallic Sharpies don’t have a super fine point. It might be something I invest in after the madness of Christmas.

Air Drying Clay

The kids and I made our own air drying clay the other day.

We had some good fun building our storage tree.

The tree is ready to paint. It might get based as well.

Even More Colours

HELP ME!

I am really getting into doing these, made more flags and painted nothing over the last couple of days, I think it is because they are so easy to do.

They look better curled and flapping than on the piece of paper. Obviously all of my chaps are holding flags in at the very least a strong breeze.

On the next one I might try to get a drooping flag. I am not sure whether it is possible due to the nature of the paper.

More Colours

I decided to do a few more, not quite sure why as I only have one standard bearer.😱

I have done some dragons too as they seem an undeady kind of charge for their regimental colours.

To be honest it is quite relaxing, more relaxing than painting figures. If you mess one of these up it can go in the bin and another page can be printed easily.

Teatime Colours

Updated Regimental colours …

I had another go at the colours tonight. Much happier with the bat, however I have realised that the chain around its neck has blended into the background colour of the circle….

I may just get rid of it to avoid the problem  – I didn’t have a very fine sharpie – to be honest I would have probably got a better result with silver paint instead of the pen.

the size works well with the colour bearer. I realised today that he is missing the top of his pole ( unlucky chap) so I  have added a bit of straw and will add a skull to the top.

Still got a lot to do to this chappie, not to mention the other seven.

Once the flag is glued on properly and shaped I don’t think it will look too bad for a first attempt.

Save The Colours

Regimental colours…

I had a mess around with some felt pens and sharpies today. The bat needs improving upon but the regimental colours will look something like this.

Bedtime Zombies

Some interesting colours here!

Instead of all of the zombies being the same colour I decided to go for some variation.

Hopefully when I put a wash on them they will blend together more.

I also got a bit more done on the ghouls.
