I worked on the Sabretooth this evening, he is a bit darker than I wanted, but I will push on and see how I feel about it in a bit…
The bone armour is going to be lighter,but at the minute he is just a pile of browns and tans. I will set to work with dry brushing tomorrow.
I also did a smidge on the officers…
This evening I really just faffed about and didn’t get much done apart from the black bits on the officers and the base layer on the sabretooth.
A long way to go, but a start is a start. I am looking forward to doing my tamed smilodon.
My meeting was cancelled this evening as only three of us turned up. I am so glad I didn’t stay in work though.
On the up side, I managed to get a bit of painting done…
Here are the trio of Kelenken in their sort of finished state. I decided to camouflage the chick so it is a bit tricky to see, as it should be. To be honest the chick is my favourite. I think it is because it is so cute.
I also made a start on the Alternative Armies Officers. Thirty seconds after painting the blue one I remembered that I was going to paint him and his troops with a red coat! He may get a clothing change!
Hopefully I will get some 6mm done tomorrow and also carry on with these two.
That about sums up this evening’s attempt at painting. I have just finished dinner… aka porridge as I was too knackered to cook anything else. We didn’t get I until 20.45 and after sorting things out, I just couldn’t be arsed to get the paints out… to be fair to myself I did actually choose the five miniatures that I was going to paint this evening.
Hopefully they will get done tomorrow, this evening I am going to try not to rant at idiots, cheaters and weird mechanics on Battlefield V… wish me luck!
Well no painting took place today as pile of stuff needed to go into the loft and whilst I was up there I came across some of my terrain that used to spend hours building…
I am not sure what happened to the first floor of the building.it probably got chucked years ago with the rest. The room to the right was the ballroom where various shenanigans took place.
In the I used to spend hours at a time cutting out the buildings and then using Copydex to put them together. I actually used them for Roleplaying games as I wasn’t Wargaming back then. Even if they didn’t have an interior then I would add one. As you can imagine 28mm mansions tender to be a bit on the large side. I actually don’t know how much money I spent on card and ink cartridges. In the end to save both my sanity and my wallet I started just doing the floor plan with bits and pieces of scatter.
This was a UK Television program where people did funky things with another person’s room.
However in my case it was my three kids all changing rooms with each other… cue long day of sorting and chucking out … 8 bin bags down… I cannot get to my little painting corner for things that still need to move.
I got this pair finished this evening…
This was the only pair of these I had to paint. They were pretty quick to do.
So yesterday I said I had half a dozen skeletons to paint… evidently I cannot count…
Looks like there are twenty to make a start on this weekend. Thanks to John for pointing out that there are only nineteen skeletons to do. As one of my little ones said in class the other day ” him is good at maths.” Check out his blog Here.
Well 15mm worth of painting happened this evening, I managed to get the demon Samurai, or is it a Samurai demon done this evening…
I decided to do him with grey skin rather than a more human colour. To make him a bit brighter he got yellow hair to make him stand out from other helmetless Samurai.
I got a parcel today… huzzah…
To be honest some of them I cannot remember ordering… the spiders and two miniatures on the right were freebies.
These are my Dark Elf ‘Spanish’ from Alternative Armies as well as a couple of Bandito’s from their Amerika range.
Now Silver Bayonet has an officer and 7 seven others in his small force… the mathematically astute of you will see two officers and twelve here already, not counting the five irregulars I have already painted… don’t ask me what was going on in my head as I have lost my various lists I made. Some are regulars and some others are going to act as Ekites or grenadiers, but apart from that I actually haven’t got the foggiest.
One of the officers came with a separate sword arm so I glued it on earlier… its a bit on the small side…
I reckon in am going to have to build up the back side of it with greenstuff. On the upside it will strengthen the join a bit.
I have run out of round MDF bases, so may either have to purchase some more or return to using 2p’s. I prefer the MDF as it us a bit softer on the other painted miniatures if something goes awry.
Tomorrow I will try and find the lists and also see why the heck I ordered a drummer as they don’t appear in the ruleset.. I have either ordered one by mistake or have been sent a one in error or an extra freebie…my have got two of the fantasy females instead of just one…
Errr painting didn’t really happen this evening, as I got chatting and reading and err I just realised the time, so no painting tonight.
On a rather gross note, my left hand index finger decided to release the pressure this evening… it is still painful as heck and a lot bigger and redder than it should be, but at least something is moving.
Tonight I had more books to mark as I ended up teaching today as I couldn’t find a supply teacher to cover an absence. I did however make sure that I got some painting in…
This lot of Monster Hunter miniatures are finished… I also made a start in a couple of Rohan miniatures I printed about a month ago.
