Flippin’ heck I achieved more painting this evening and got the Spyre Gang up to the shiny gold decorations.
There is still stuff to do on these, well I want to do more on the, but if I wanted to I could call these done.
I am seriously thinking of just using my gold Sharpie to make them shiny 🪙🪙🪙🪙.
I may of course may change my mind 😉.
Well I made a start on a pair of the Erroish in Geek Club yesterday and managed to get them finished this evening. I also worked on the Spire big guy, and the other three for that matter
The big guy still needs the decoration done on his armour. I have decided to go for Gold as I feel this befits a super rich, nasty bully.
These are my pack beetles…
The saddles also had some failures, you can see an obvious one on the end of the front strap… Well actually it is a decorative border. But hey, either way it will get the Greenstuff remedy.
Hopefully I will feel up to a bit more of the same tomorrow.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Funny I went green with my original and blue with the latest one.
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.
You would imagine that after a week of the white stuff then I might have got a bit sick of it… out in the wild – yes! In the kitchen on miniature bases… not so much, but as I really dislike doing bases then … I might have to sit on the fence
So I forgot to take the photo at 15.00 today to compare the snow… this was taken up my track though!
Temperature has plummeted and the snow and wind have arrived with a vengeance. It is supposed to drop to -10°C overnight so we are in the will there, won’t there be school in the morning. Problem is three of us live on one side of the hills and the school is on the other. This causes problems with trying to second guess the weather over there.
Anyway I decided to do something that could be finished with my portable light if needs be.
I still need to work on it, I did shove some of the leaves down. I still need to get some tufts down and repaint the edge.
This is how the leaves came out…
I am quite pleased with how these came out.
