Undead line and more purchases

Adding lights into my shed took a bit more time than expected.

I still managed to slap some paint on these tonight. I am not sure you can actually tell in this picture.

My purchases are thus:

The new Savant zombie colour party with sergeant, drummer and standard bearer. The rest of these in the range are resin, these however are white metal.

Below the zombies are a selection of Ferach troops from the Witchland’s campaign. These poor souls are wrapped in blankets and heavy coats to keep out of the cold. I will be painting these up for my mates birthday present.

The one thing I was not expecting was the amount of flash on the flag bearer. This, I can honestly say is a first. It will take a couple of minutes to sort out so there are no issues there. The other two zombies have a bit of a mould line so I think it was a bit of a wobble with this individual figure.

Next up are my toys.

Another four Savant zombies to take my initial squad to ten. I really do like them in their cloaks. If the colour party had been modelled wearing them I might have been tempted to get some (I am still not sure about kettle drums in a skirmish game).

A bit of a clean up is required but it won’t take long.

Next up are another couple of civilians.

An Othari aristocrat and a hobgoblin miser. These are full of character, the Aristo is wafting his, no doubt perfumed, handkerchief whilst the miser is writing something down in his notebook.

I really do like the civilian figures from the various ranges. It is my aim to collect them all.

Last of all was my free pile of carrots 🥕. As I got these models under an offer I received free postage and another set of carrots.

Madame Pompaboom

I decided to have a little bit of painting time today to finish of Madame.

Another great little set fromAlternative Armies. I got her primarily as I am trying to get lots of civilian figures; but she can be used in both Flintloque and Slaughterloo.

Madame is of an ancient family line and is the last of the same. She travels Valon with her trusted manservant. Here we see her dressed in her finery. Her hair is so high it requires the manservant to follow her around holding it up with his hair pole.

It really is true what they say… The camera does indeed show everything. I have just noticed the belt buckle on the manservant has bled onto the black belt (which I have obviously forgotten to highlight too).

Tonight I will crack on with the surgical sets tables etc and make a start on the engineers.

I redid the belt and added the various highlights.

Medics, Engineers and a Very Posh Lady

I managed to get a pile of figures undercoated this evening.

First up is the medical team. Two surgeons a stretcher bearer team and an auxiliary.

This set also contains a gentleman surgeon as seen last week and a rather nice ex soldier with a wooden leg (not to mention a wounded elf on a stretcher).

Next up is a group of canine engineers.

This is another nice set. The first would make a rather nice assassin with a bomb and pistol. The second is carrying a plank, the third a barrel, while the last is obviously digging up his bone. He, like me, has a concentrating tongue – it sticks out when we are concentrating.

Madame Pompaboom is next.

This rather hatchet faced lady and manservant is a rather fun set. With her ladyship’s hair being so high it requires him to hold it up. She almost conceals a bomb in her towering hairstyle. Her head and hair are a separate casting. I couldn’t work out where her face had gone. Being the pillock that I am, I was trying to put it on upside down. I thought the fuse on the bomb went into the hole on her neck 😱😱😱.

I am thinking white and gold for the dress…

I did manage to finish one of them.

I really like this figure. He comes with the field hospital. However, I think I will use him as an ex soldier.

All in all another eclectic mix of very nice figures.

Lady Boniface part III

I really didn’t like her dress…

The yellow was a bit yucky to be honest. I did consider a total repaint but instead I kept at it. I sort of did repaint the dress but in yellow.

There is still a bit of work to do on it but it is a definite improvement on the first attempt.

Sadly the IPad seems to struggle with a bright yellow….Perhaps I should have gone with my original idea of a nice blue colour.

Lady Boniface Part II

Her ladyship loses face.

As the gallant doctor rushed to support her ladyship he very quickly realised that to her ladyship losing face had a whole new meaning.

I do like her ladyship the figure is really good with her either removing or putting back her face.

I need to get a glaze on the smooth out the contrast of the flesh tones.

I am not too sure about the yellow dress. Because it is an ancient yellow wash it has gone a bit shiny. Because it is a wash it has caused me problems where it meets the purple wash. I think a repaint may be in order.

I managed to get a bit more done on these two:

Still a fair bit to go, but I am getting there.

Finally another lady…

Madame Pompaboom and her manservant.

I bought this duo as I thought it was a fun little set. The manservant is employed to hold up Madame’s hair… complete with a bomb in the top.

I would have liked to have got more done, but it has been a busy day. We were tiling the floor under the cooker until about half eight this evening. I hope to crack on tomorrow evening but rumour has it we will be redecorating the kitchen!

Lady Boniface Et Al

I managed to get a bit done on these.

From left to right…

Egor, Lady Boniface, Officer 6th Hussars, a gentleman doctor and a couple of Guard cavalrymen at the back.

I am hoping to get the front four finished soon. Most of the males have most of the base colours blocked in so I might get them done tomorrow night.

Another batch finished.

I managed to get a bit done today. I really need a better camera and/or better lighting as they look a whole lot better than the photo shows☹️.

I have decided to make a start (aka carry on with) some Ferach voltigeurs. These guys have sat for about a year with just their base coat of black.

Teatime Trollkin

I managed to get a wash on the clothing. Figures always look naff at this stage, it can get a bit disheartening especially when you look at the amazing work some people do. 

Bedtime Trollkin


I managed to  get some more of the base colours done this evening. They are lovely figures, they do, however, have faces only a mother could love. They work for Trollkin though.
