Felt crack this evening so achieved an undercoat!
I suppose a teeny bit of progress is still progress!
All White on the Night
NEXT!
I really didn’t fancy painting the Sisters this evening.
The Steroids seem to be becoming less effective which is an absolute Bugger. I have already had to go back up a microgramme and it is looking like I will need to go back up again.
So instead of painting I built a few more Gallians, which will be undercoated and painted tomorrow.
The metal ones are for my mate. This pair arrived with the ones I painted yesterday. these are from Westwind miniatures.
I will of course be back with the ‘one coat’ paints tomorrow. 🙂
Another Set Finished
Huzzah, I got the last of the printed goblins finished.
Not sure what I am going to paint next. I do have the Sisters as well as a few more knights that are printed. The sisters are undercoated so it may be better to do them.
I still need to decide what to do with the Tyranids.
Let’s be honest… I have so much crap to paint I could still be painting daily until Christmas and still have some for the New Year.
Goblins Done
This evening I managed to get my finger out and finish off the goblins. I am going to have to add a brighter edge on the weapons.
There are also a few touch ups that I need to do on some of them. The bases also need a bit of colour.
I will hopefully manage this tomorrow. My eldest is doing their first concert for their music course tomorrow evening so the painting may have to wait.
Goblins, Hallowe’en and Riding Witches
A bit of a mixture of topics. I decided I had better add some painting back in in case you all thought it had become a medical blog.
So yes I got the goblins and paints out and made some progress, not as much as I would have liked, but progress is still progress…
It is mainly just the metalwork to do and the back of the shields. I would have got further but my daughter was off getting sweeties from random strangers for Hallowe’en, so dad’s taxi was requested to bring them home.
So finally, a FB friend shared this. Now I am not 100% sure, but I believe a comma would help make the sentence mean what she meant.
Now I suppose if I need to or have to then okay, but I believe she meant let’s ride, witches. Punctuation is important… if you remove the capital letter then the following sentence has a totally different meaning…
‘I am going to help my Uncle Jack off his horse!’
Tomorrow back to the goblins… I hope
Oh yeah, evidently I have shrunk. I was measured yesterday and have lost about an inch and a half in height!
A Smidge on the Goblins
This evening I was a bit pooped and really couldn’t be bothered to paint anything.
I did force myself to do a bit so spent a little time painting the tunics on the rank and file.
To speed things up I painted them all a grey colour. Basically they are all in un-dyed cloth.
Hopefully I will crack on tomorrow and get a fair bit done.
Goblin Pole Arms
This evening I managed to get some work done on the goblins.
I shall carry on with these tomorrow. There is still a lot to do… especially on the ones in the background. The one with the log for the helmet is a total repaint. The middle one and him are pretty much finished now.
Goblins and the Nuns
Tonight I got the pole armed goblins from out of their box. I then spent an absolute age trying to find some missing ones.
I eventually decided that I didn’t have them and made do with some spares from the other sets.
In the box were my Mordheim Sisters. I never liked how these were painted so they have been white washed too.
I will hopefully make a start on them tomorrow.
There are two units of twelve in the background. I think I have four foot units (including the unpainted one). They are spread all of the place.
Goblins Done
When I say done, I mean the seven that I had undercoated.
Here they are robbing out the stones from the wall.
I also got the frogs done too.
For these photos I decided to try out my background book…
I also used one of my battle mats. To go onto the table.. I am pleased with how it looks for both photos.
I will probably do the dozen goblins with spears next. Well I need them done as soon as possible as Highland Miniatures are bringing out orks next month. I am liking what I see so far.
Undead Knights Finished
Well this afternoon I finished the knights. I decided on the maroon/purple for the white bits. I wanted to add a brighter colour to give them a bit more oomph. I had originally thought to go with red, but I reckon I chose the correct colour. you can see the one I was thinking of to the left of the second photo.
Tonight I am off to the club to get trounced, I mean play another game of Grimdark Future.
