A Teeny Bit of Painting

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…

Whoops

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.

A bit of Painting

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.

A Touch up on the Mud

Tonight I just got the 15mm Monster Hunter bases touched up. I painted in the foot area that hadn’t been covered by the basing gunk.

I redid the palanquin bearers and added them to a lolly stick. Typically my thin superglue decided to stick the lid to the bottle and it will take some pliers to get it off.

I got a few pleasant surprises today, first off, I got a new set of rules…

I also suddenly remembered that my mate gave me some miniatures before Christmas…

As you can see I got the odd one or two… some Warlord Ashigaru and some kind of dark dwarves, never seen them before.

Fallout 4

Well my youngest got me back into playing Fallout 4 from the beginning again. I really forgot how much I liked it. I am only at the lower levels and have hardly got a long way on the map, which as people who play the game know is huge.

Part of me does fancy the board game or the miniature game, but I do wonder if I would get anyone to play it with.

I am off to the Corvega Assembly Plant just now to get rid of some raiders.

As you can tell, I am not painting this evening as it has been one if those days and we have only finished dinner half an hour ago. Here is hopingbthat tomorrow will be more productive.

Having a Rant…Sort of…

Well as you might know I do like a bit of online gaming, and indeed sometimes I do get a bit miffed as tactics seem to be something that  aren’t considered. I mean who drives a tank into a built up area without infantry support. Come to think of it an M8 armoured car survived three hits from my Tiger, so did various Shermans.

Secondly, I had a look on Facebook to see what gaming videos were there and I was a bit surprised to see scantily clad young ladies ‘playing’ games. One if them actually had a controller in her hand 🤣. I mean I am not a prude by any way or means. But it was a bit pathetic at the amount of blokes commenting and sending tips. I mean for the young lady in question she is making a fortune and as such is very enterprising. But do the blokes honestly think that they are in with a chance. In a way it was actually quite depressing watching fellow bloke make a complete arse of themselves.

Dinocrocuta and Something to Read

Although I am drugged up to the eyeballs with painkillers I did manage some painting this evening…

I started on the Dinocrocuta and finished the Smilodon. This time I did the beasty grey to allow for the bone armour,

I got my copy of the new ‘One Ring’ today. I had a very quick flick through, but will have a proper read through soon.
