My mate has asked me to paint up some more Flintloque miniatures … these are the first eight…
Sadly the officer top left has lost half a sword on the way to Shetland. I found the missing bit in the box. I doubt it will superglue back, well not without falling straight off as soon as it is bumped. So that leaves pinning or rebuilding with milliput.
I managed to get his miniatures all varnished and Sengoku game tokens done today…
Well actually the title is a total lie, click bait has arrived in my Blog… the two I started are done.
Part of me wishes that they both weren’t wearing red, but in reality that is something that can be easily sorted with an overpaint. The other thjng that is a bit in the face are the straps on the arms of the leader. I may do something with them when I get the rest done.
I doubt I will manage any painting tomorrow as I am having another game of Silver Bayonet with Joe… hopefully my dice will be better in this next game🤞.
As i said yesterday, I was a bit lacking in the human side of the battle of the five Armies. So this evening I evened things up a bit and got these two done…
Tomorrow I hope to get some work done on the Goblins.
Tonight Joe and I got a long awaited game in. As you can probably guess, we played our first game of The Silver Bayonet.
I went with the French and Joe chose the Spanish. We played the first Scenario named ‘The Investigation’. We set up the table as seen below.
My forces are in the bottom and Joe is to the top . The black markers are clues, Joe managed to reach two first. First was some oriole remains that had been gnawed upon.
Sadly his second proved to be a hobgoblin, which was hiding in the middle of the ruins and guess who he attacked….
Sadly my dice throws were a bit rusty. I got overcome by the privation of the scary monster. In the end we managed to throw three double ones and ended up attracting another hobgoblin and two revenenants.
It all got a bit brutal around my initial move location …I never managed to move away from it. In the end I managed to kill the swordsman and wound the hobgoblin…
Sadly my grenadier bought the farm. The doctor managed to revive one of my troopers, but in the end my officer charged to infantryman at the corner, failed to hit him and as he was already wounded he succumbed to a bayonet thrust to the lungs…
We decided to call it at that point. Joe was the winner as my troops decided to leg it when the officer went down. This would of course mean that he had to deal with the indestructible hobgoboin and a revenant. I reckon he was in with a good chance as he had already killed one of each. My Occultist managed to do more damage to herself than the spells did to her enemies… I told you my dice were naff! In my case it was more a case of ‘Carry on Screaming’ than ‘Van Helsing’!
It was a good first game, we did get some things wrong, but it didn’t stop the enjoyment.
One thing I did notice was that there was no easy find rule page, so we spent a lot of time to-ing and fro-ing through the book.
We are going to have another bash at the rules next Wednesday.
Tonighti managed to get the Wolves and Goblin finished as well as pretty much do the same with the elf and dwarf…
I was going to put them on a base I already have, but I think I will make something a bit bigger.
Today was more papering, I managed another wall even though my back and legs were giving me gyp. We had to go and buy more paper as we had a change of ideas.. I think we made the right choice. I am hoping to get the rest of the lounge done tomorrow.
I changed the officer’s moustache…
I also undercoated my Lord of the Rings miniatures this evening…
These are for a mini diorama entitled ‘The Battle of the Five Armies’
My rheumatism, or whatever it is in my fingers kicked off today, but I did manage a bit of decorating.
So I suddenly remembered that there were two Catalucian officers sitting in full view and have been since… at least 3rd February… so this evening instead of the Samurai I thought I might as well get them finished to join the rest of them.
To be honest, nothing fancy. The one in green has a weird moustache and in hindsight perhaps a lighter colour might have been a better choice for it. I feel a colour change coming on tomorrow.
Well after the 28 mm quasi Napoleonics, I decided to get my 6 mm Samurai done… by done please read that as got them out of the box added a bit of colour and then put them back again…
I am back in the kayak tomorrow night so may not achieve much.
Look what I just found in a forgotten box under the bed!
To be honest, I am not going to paint them as I think they might be spares.
This evening I undercoated the remaining elves and left them to cure. I decided to paint something whilst I waited.
Having a mooch through a box I found a pile of Neolithic hunter gatherers that needed finishing… here they are…
These were really crap prints I did with my first resin printer. I reckon it was from the time it started to act up. I nearly binned them at the time, but slapped some paint on anyway.
