Now to put things into context in gaming terms I am à wood elf player… dwarves… meh! But I have persevered and painted some for Mordheim. But to be honest I want a lot of these 🙂
Really like the bear heavy cavalry.
Armoured Bear
Dwarf Rangers
This evening I did a bit more on the pair of rangers and a smidge on the mounted dwarf too.
They are nearly finished…
I have come up with a new game… it’s called ‘Guess the model from it’s supports’. Here is your starter for ten
Dwarf Rangers
Tonight I got kicked off the computer so I decided to paint something. The dwarf rangers were handy so they got some paint slapped on them…
Still a fair way to go, but more colour than white now.
A Smidge on the Goblins
I didn’t really make myself a lot of time to paint this evening… but I did a little bit:
Now the shaman in the centre has reminded me of someone for absolutely ages… I just couldn’t put my finger on who. This evening the clouds parted and the recollections streamed through…
Yes, I know he looks nothing like the wise old elf from the TV show… but somehow to me he does. If I hadn’t already painted the hood yellow then it would be painted blue.0
Goblins
Still aching like mad, luckily no washing machines to move today, but the hot water tank overflow kicked in at 22.00 so I have fastened the ball cock up and turned off the boiler. I will get a new ballcock tomorrow.
I did manage to get some paint on some goblins today…
We have a leader, left. Three frogherds and a shaman on the right.
Hopefully I will get some more done tomorrow evening.
Goblin Twins
Well okay, they aren’t. But they might have been. I worked on this pair today…
I made a balls up in the left hand face, redid the undercoat and seem to have lost a lot of detail. I will try and remember how to do highlights!
I really must crack on with the goblins as I have at least thirty six infantry to get painted. Not to mention three more Mordheim gangs and a pile more undead.
Trolls ( not the cute ones)
Tonight I did some more work on the trolls.
These are nearly finished, hopefully tomorrow I will get them completed. Then onto more goblins.
Working on the Trolls
So this is my last evening at home for a while so I decided to crack on with the big boys/girls.
Still a bit to do, but it is less to do when I come back. Typically the washer decided to spring a leak today so it will probably be new washer time when I return… that and pay for the car repairs. April is going to be a bloody expensive month!
Swamp Trolls
Highland Miniatures Patreon dropped today and I spent no time printing out two of the three swamp trolls. I also printed off a frog rider. Another test of frog cavalry (with sticks) is printing as I type this.
I decided against the third swamp troll as it is throwing up the corrosive stomach contents. These will be for Dragon Rampant I don’t need set unit sizes. I really do like the ‘Creature from the Black Lagoon’ vibe with these. I really love the frog riders, you cannot see it, but this dude has a pan strapped to his head.
I didn’t have any suitably sized circular bases for the trolls, but did find some penny sabot bases which were a nice size. I used some filler to hide both the coins and gap. I deliberately left a depression to allow me to add some resin for water and because I am a pillock I left it under the right foot in both of them!
A bit miffed tonight as the car was making an odd sound so I popped down to the garage to get it booked in when I am away next week. He wanted a quick test run and banned me from driving it as the bearings on the offside front were shot. The extra good news is that the brakes need sorting and it seemed like the clutch is dodgy too. Hopefully some of this will come under the warranty!
Noisy Bugger Finished
I got the Frogherd finished this evening and made a good start on a second.
All of the ones I have painted have armoured footwear. Initially I thought this odd as they would sink into the mire… then it dawned on me that there might be things in a swamp that you wouldn’t want to step in with bare feet.
