Alive and Kicking

Ignore the first paragraph to avoid my new medical woes 😁

Yes I am still limping along, literally limping as it feels like someone has installed a hot plate into each shoe and turned up the heat. Anyway enough of my whining. The one thing that really does help is actually gaming on the console, it takes my mind of things, sadly Painting doesn’t have the same effect, if it did I wouldn’t have anything kept to paint.

I did however print some new miniatures that I am a bit excited about…

The dude on the mount is one of the Erroish tribe. I have also printed off a few more foot miniatures as well as a giant beetle that they use as their transport. Well technically I have two as the first one lost a front leg in a printer issue. I am going to do a bit of Greenstuff repairs and see if I cannot do some form of new leg.

I do love the aesthetics of the Erroish. Desert nomads. These are by Print Minis  their My Mini Factory page can be found Here.

I also spent some time printing off some props for someone’s CosPlay… guess the film!

It’s Geek Club tomorrow so hopefully I will get something painted in that.

A Bit More Work

So this evening I worked on my Spyre Hunters.

The dude on the left as you may have noticed is not  futuristic hunter. He is a rat piper for my mate. He does have a tartan kilt, but to be honest I chose colours that were too dark so you cannot really see it.

I also added the big dude onto the newly printed base. I have also gone a bit daft and printed a couple of Desert gangers and some alien fauna. Well I didn’t just want to print a base on its own.

A Bit of Painting

Well I actually managed to get a tiny bit of painting done this evening.

I went for the unbased one to begin with.  He is going to have either red or yellow on the chest and knees.

The other two miniatures are for my youngest.  These two were the ones that failed yesterday. I did a plate re level and it worked fine second time around.

Out of the Painting Doldrums?

Well I seem to be in a bit of painting hole  at the minute. I really cannot be bothered to paint anything. This tiredness/pain thing is annoying in the extreme, so it makes motivation a bit hard.

However I found a set of miniatures that I am interested in actually painting. I remember having the full Spyre gang for Necromunda. I decided to try these from Print Miniatures.

For these I actually unboxed the new printer.

Because I am a pillock  I stuck three of the miniatures onto the wrong bases, it really only affects the one on the extreme left. She is leaping at an extreme angle. If you notice there is one of them on cardboard. This is because his base failed on the printer. Hopefully this is simple teething problem… however I tried a new print for my youngest and it failed.

Painting Twins and Triplets

Well if Geek Club has one personal thing going for me, apart from the warm fuzzy feeling, then it forces me to sit down and paint for about forty minutes.

Today I managed three miniatures. Two adult males and another child.

I still need to get the bases done as well as sort out the belt buckles on the three males.

So the two males on the right and the girl in blue join the rest.

I really do enjoy painting a nice simple miniature!

Barkhoven – The Great Composer

Even though I am spending far too much time playing Fallout 76; I still managed to paint this pair this evening.

The collar was done with thr same light blue and it does make Barkhoven look like he has blue ears.

I cannot remember what the other one us, one of the civilian range from Alternative Armies, but as to the race… not a clue.

New Reading Material

So this came in the post yesterday.

I love Bill Making stuff on YouTube. This is his game that is a collaboration with Apocrypha Now. I doubt I will actually build any of the bots within. I just felt it was a good way to support both channels.

Ghost Bride

Yes eventually I got my finger out and picked up a paint brush and got the ghost bride up to the basing stage.

I think the ideas in my head transferred to the miniature. In fact I think it is an improvement on my own original one. For one thing I was a bit more adventurous in adding other colours.The red eyes are not evil in my mind… just the poor lass has been stood up at the alter and cried a great deal.

I painted this one in 2018

Funny I went green with my original and blue with the latest one.

Next on the List

This evening I got a pile more Flintloque undercoated for my mate.

I will hopefully get then started ASAP. Probably start with the ghostly bride as it will be an easy win.

There are also some armed police officers from WestWind I think. They are Prussianesque. These are to join this lot…

I Achieved Painting

Not the most grammatically accurate title ever, but flipping heck I got some paint on a miniature…

A down and dirty 25 minute (if that) paint job. Geek Club started again today and as our cupboard was a total mess I tidied that before starting my painting. Will it win any prizes, nope, but a finished miniature is a finished miniature.
