Harry, Won-Won and the Death Eaters

So tonight we carried on with our family Harry Potterthon. Tonight was the Half Blood Prince. So I thought I might as well get Harry and Ron painted.

So that is the three friends done apart from a varnish and the bases sorted.

I also finished off the Death Eaters for my eldest.

My youngest has decided on Black Space Marines.. I showed him the Black Templars, which he liked. He has decided to have gold edging on the shoulder guards and a different coloured cross. I was about to get All ‘oh no, chapter approved’ nonsense and I thought Bollocks he could paint them pink if he wants. He is nine and he can go with whatever he fancies.

Ho loves Mec’s. It suddenly dawned on me that Tau would have given him a pile of ‘mec’ options in the Crisis suits.

Tomorrow we are onto the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Who knows what I will paint during that.

Hogwarts Mayhem

My daughter and I had a bash at making a Start on the Harry Potter Miniatures.

Somehow I had to do Hermione and she had a couple of Death Eaters. It’s a pretty naff photo but they have a dark purple top and will all have black cloaks. The Contrast paint is ideal fit her as she is able to get stuff painted and shaded all in one go. I decided to add white to the grey undercoat on the Baddies to add a highlight to the black cloaks.

I also had a quick test on a Hussar horse. The blue has helped me as I have now decided on colours for them…

Uniform jacket will be the same as the saddle cloth with the pelise likewise. I will probably go black fur on it too. Shako will be black with a blue top. I was thinking grey breeches with black boots.

Tomorrow Morning I evidently have to paint Ron and Harry, all before 11.00 am. Taking the youngest two to see the original home alone film tomorrow and then off to the club to play Aliens.
