I was super busy this evening as well as the day so had no time to work on my knights. I therefore masking taped off his knight and did a white spray of the carapace.
We will have to use a Bush to paint the head white and again to paint the exhausts and weapon back to their original gun metal.
This time I am talking about posh dudes on horses. Yes my two boxes of mounted Agincourt knights arrived today. So after spraying the big mech knight I did a quick build of half a dozen heavies, as opposed to lights. My plan is for three heavy units and one light.
The one in the rear middle definitely has something odd going on with his visor. This came as a separate piece and maybe I have glued it on in the wrong spot, either that or I accidently moved it before the glue set it in place.
One thing I haven’t noticed with the Perry plastics is a lot of flash (apologies for the naff pic). All of the human sprues had some flash where tye plastic has squeezed between the two faces of the moulds.
Top left and bottom right are really obvious here. On the other spue the torso top right had a huge fan from the top of his helmet to the lower back.
I shall hopefully carry on with these tomorrow.
Ye God’s I am so glad I am nearly finished the desk. The conservatory was pushing 40°C today. I nearly gave up to be honest, but luckily I needed one more plank so needed to go into Lerwick. This gave me some respite.
I have got this far…
The tape is to hold on the semicircular profiled bit of dowel while the glue dries. This is there to avoid a hard front edge. The planks are still loose at the minute in case changes are required.
Flippin heck today was warm. I was having to do some DIY in the conservatory and it was 30°C in there. Outside wasn’t much better.
I am so not used to heat now. I am hoping for a cold snap when I go down to Claymore.
Well after going like the clappers on Wednesday and Thursday last week I am now not wanting to do anything. I did have a mooch at my STL mountain to see if anything there would jump start the creativeness, nope, not a sausage, not even a selection of new busts made me get interested.
I even looked through some printed stuff, but as they weren’t painted then I wasn’t holding our much hope there either.
It would seem that my Mojo has well and truly buggered off. I will see if I can find it tomorrow.
Well along with painting and occasionally playing with miniatures I do like a good game on the old console or PC. My daughter and I loved playing Ark Survival Evolved. We would go split screen on the PS4. Sadly since the new Ascended the older one has become a little unreliable.
We would get so far and then it would crash meaning our hard work would be lost. It would crash more split screen. Luckily the saveworld ‘command’ helped a bit. But it still put us off playing. I therefore decided to see about renting a server. It was a whole lot cheaper than I thought it would be. About £10.50 a month, we are going to give that a go.
It is rather nice to be able to play with the settings on what I want the game to be like. I bumped xp to 2.5x and taming speed to 3x so it isn’t an instant tame. Next I am off to track down a snowy owl, last two attempts failed as my tranquillisers on the weapon I was using had an 8% chance of death…
I did manage to tame my daughter a high level Argentavis for when she gets on.
I know I am sad, but it stops me running around the house when it is raining outside 🙂
Well we had our four players game of Lion Rampant today and I Need to say a big thank you to Mike for organising it. We managed a couple of games. As overall commander in both of them I won one and just lost one.
Game on we had to take the bridge and were pipped at the post by some foot sergeants holding it for long enough.
Game two was a bit more worrying, me versus three and I had to hold another bridge. I managed to totally wipe out one of the players directly opposite me, but lost both my mounted and foot men at arms, oh and my general too. Luckily one of the opposite number was actually a turncoat and helped out by destroying a lot of my opposition on the left…phew!
A couple of fun games over the day.
Well okay there are technically three forces and some interlopers!
So on the left we have the Hundred Years War English and on the left the Hundred Years War French. Both boxes have Wars of the Roses cavalry, heavy in the left and light in the right. The English box also has Aragorn leading a detachment of rangers…
Sadly I didn’t have time to flock everything this evening.
We will be playing Lion Rampant tomorrow.
While I was looking for this lot I came across my original dwarf from Heroquest… I had even painted him, sadly forgot the base though!
Next to him is an original goblin I think. I am sure the Advanced Heroquest had a shield.
Well that is the eighteen infantry and six cavalry painted. It was a bit of a rush job, but I got there this evening. As I said yesterday, they won’t win any prizes, but they are done apart from the bases. I will get those done tomorrow.
So here they are with the paint still wet…
I am just hoping that the ones in the shed that I think are done are actually finished. I will find out tomorrow.
I would have done it this evening, but I am knackered and really cannot be bothered.
I will add them all together and see what they look like. I know the crossbow men are in a specific livery, I think I have some liveried spears too.
Well Loreil Softvale is on hold for a few days. Thule Gamers is having a big game on Saturday and I said I would go along.
Now I could borrow miniatures, but where is the fun in that soooo.. I decided to break out my unfinished Hundred Years War Agincourt miniatures and try and get a force from them…queue panicked music…
This is what is left… oh yeah the cavalry are Wars of the Roses… the cavalry wasn’t our when I started these… easier to paint though. My son said he wanted to help so tomorrow we begin.
