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.
This evening I got a few more Monster Hunter minis out of box and set to work. My original plan was to get the seven of them started, but instead I went for finishing four of them. These are, for want of a better term, a goblin command set of: mage, standard and commander. The other one finished was a human mountain hermit.
On the left are a couple of Kappa and on the right a demonic Samurai.
Now for fun I looked up the Kanji for Goblin… the flag should say goblin, but with my painting ability it might just say trombone, but the thought was there.
Tomorrow I will try and get the next three done, then I am onto a dozen or so skeleton Samurai.
Painting this evening was done with very painful index fingers on both hands. It looks like I have an infection under the nail on both of them. My left hand actually hurts to even gently touch it, well as it is swollen it is not surprising. I really think I should go and annoy the doctor sometime as this keeps on happening.
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.
Sadly, I didn’t manage to get any real painting done this evening. I faffed about painting in white bits, and then realised I had a pile of marking to do, so unfortunately that had to happen.
Hopefully tomorrow will be more productive on the hobby side.
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.
It has been one of those weeks and tonight I decided to have a night off.
My Irregular Miniatures order has now been shipped…
The parcel should be here Monday. Hopefully I will be inntye mood tomorrow to do some of the things I already have.
Well I did get these finished this evening. Not a huge amount done, but at least that is another unit down…
I still have a pile undercoating. I just had a look at the Irregular ones and they are covered in sand like the skirmish screen.
I will keep plugging away at these until they are finished.
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.
