Tonight my plan was to do a couple of the undead miniatures. Instead I managed only one and made a start on the second.
I did this one in a standard ‘Russian’ green colour…
I will get him and the other ones based properly this weekend.
I do like this miniature with his rather grumpy vampire pose.
Tomorrow I will get on with the second one, hopefully by bed time I will have him done and if lucky I will make a start on the drummer and standard bearer.
Tonight I did the first of the undead. These are commissars of the KGB.
As you can see they look rather dead and are liche officers. The one in the middle looks a bit odd as he is an undead toad.
These weren’t too difficult to paint due to the minimal details. I actually used some Speedpaints on the coats as I wanted a different grey to the trousers. Needless to say I was very, very careful. Tomorrow’s lot will take longer as there are four miniatures with a lot more detail on each. Two are vampires one is a drummer and the last is a standard bearer.
This little chap is the final ork from the Alternative Armies pile of miniatures I am doing for my mate.
I had sent him a photo of the latest two and asked what colours he wanted doing on the undead.
I was just about to get him painted when he sent a message and asked for him to have a red jacket with yellow trim. This isn’t a problem but Five minutes later he would have had a brown jacket.
Tonight I did another couple of the Alternative Armies Miniatures. We have an exploring officer on the left and Sir Markus Conclave of the Kings Own Rockette Batteries…
Of the two Conglave is my favourite of the two.
This leaves the orc reporter for the ork miniatures I will keep going with the Alternative Armies until my secret project arrives 😉.
Today I managed to get a bit of painting done as I was in the house due to having a bit of a head cold. I also had to go and pick up Esther from the Ferry first thing this morning so I had a bit longer to paint too.
I still have another three orks to do before going onto the rest.
When I picked up Esther at the ferry, I also picked up her sister and our new house guest….
Skyla will be with us for the next week.
So I got these finished this evening. It was my intention to get them completely done. It looks like they will need to be based tomorrow.
I nipped into town this afternoon and got some new Contrast paint. My skeleton bone was almost out and my Gore Grunta fur is pretty empty too.
Tonight I did a bit more on this pair…
Really just the teeth to do on McBam, but a lot more to do on Giggers. I also did a bit on a couple of others.
Tonight I made a start on some of the Britorcn officers. Left to right are a military Padre, Major Giglamps of Afri and Captain Angus McBam of Joccia…
To be honest the kilt is a little subtle, but felt it was better than my first attempt. They all Have a long way to go, but at least some colours are appearing on the undercoat. The faffing about with the tartan and chequered cloth certainly slowed things down a bit.
Tonight I managed to get the next two goblins done. By done please read that as pretty much done… I might dirty up the armour a bit…
The toes could do with a bit of a touch up as the paint was rubbed off whilst holding the miniatures. I really need to come up with a better way to hold miniatures without a base.
Just the fallen hero to go for the miniature painting… well unless I need more goblins 😜.
This evening I did a bit of work on a couple of the goblins.
There is still along way to go which is probably why I have a bit of a problem with them. The one with the bow doesn’t actually have surfer shorts on, it is in fact a kilt type of thing. I will crack on with them tomorrow and hopefully get them finished.
This evening I finished watching ‘All of us are Dead’. I actually really enjoyed it, although I am not ashamed to admit it … there were a few moist eye moments. I only hope to god they don’t bring out a second series and leave it where it is at.
