Tonight I managed to get the berserker finished. I slapped a bit of paint on some of the others too.
I will work on the rest tomorrow.
As the female engineer actually has more than just her face painted then I think subconsciously that she is joining this warband.
Tonight was another evening of Dad/Daughter bonding. We spent most of this evening preparing for a new base move. This was moving into a more dangerous area so we needed to prefabricate walls and doors ready to get them on the ground as soon as we got there.
We survived, a few hairy moments but in the end got a new protected base camp set up in the Boondocks.
This meant that painting time was reduced. I still managed a small amount.
The clan colour for these is green. My back story for them is that they have a fungus in their caves that give the cloth a green hue.
As you can see, the berserker’s hair is now a darker orange.
Well, the long weekend is now over. I will have to drag my sorry ass into work. Made all the more difficult as I am one of only three schools on Shetland open tomorrow. Pretty much, the same number is open on Orkney, the rest of Scotland seems to be on strike.
I will try a bit more painting tomorrow..
Tonight my daughter and I were playing Ark again. Which mainly involved raiding Deinonychus nests for high level eggs. High level eggs means high level parents, who funnily enough object to nest raiding. Some extreme close calls occurred. We now have a hunting pack of six with more eggs to hatch. Next up… the breeding programme.
All I can say is thank goodness this isn’t Jurassic Park!
Because of the gaming I only really had a chance to paint some hair…
I will carry on tomorrow…
Okay technically, the only thing that is showing is skin. My plan was to have hundreds, nay thousands to flock to the blog. If you are one of them then sorry. Well I suppose it is better than when he opened the box he needed to get help…
So I did some skin… then we played Ark. hopefully I will get some more painting done tomorrow.
I heard an interesting question the other day… discuss… ‘what happens if you put a werewolf on the moon?’
Tonight I worked on the last three miniatures for the warband.
Here the whole force are…
There is only one vampire in the force so the winged one and the dire wolf are in the box. The vampire was an extra miniature and the wolf is a model ready for a points increase.
Had a hell of a day today, so it was good to have a bit of a relaxing painting session.
Not a usual mix I must admit, but tonight I worked on these two. Mainly faffing about with the armour, but progress is progress…
I also made twenty individual paving slabs to make a floor. Don’t ask me why as I really can’t say. They were quite therapeutic though…
Now that I have the 25mm base unit I can knock one out in about 30 seconds. Sadly the rough chipped ones are the ones that cannot be seen. I will print a set out to see what they actually look like.
My original idea was to use the geometry nodes to make randomised tile patterns from the above. I might get round to it one day.
Okay not too late, but I decided I wanted to do some painting before bed.
I went a bit mad with the blood effects earlier this evening. I had also redid the rust on the armour as I hadn’t stirred the dirty down rust effect. So although I shook it like mad for ages, the important bits were stuck to the bottom.
I added some flesh wash to the ghouls as they looked a bit naff.
I will hopefully carry on with these tomorrow on my day off.
Tonight I worked on the five zombies. Now to be honest for speed I went for the ‘standard’ green zombie look. I actually wish I had gone more for the multi hued versions I did for my undead army as seen below…
This lot were obviously all buried at the same time and resurrected likewise…
I was hoping to get them finished, but they still need a bit of work. Joe is coming for another One Ring game tomorrow night so it might be Monday before I get them done.
While I remember the Big Fire Festival is Tuesday this week and it will be live streamed. Definitely worth a watch if you haven’t seen it before.
Who better to inhabit the mausoleum I did the other day… ghouls that’s who.
They are a bit clean at the minute but I am sure I can sort that out.
Yes I decided that I had better get my finger out and paint some Mordheim things. I now have 36 swamp goblins printed so I had better get a wiggle on.
I also worked on this little chap today…
So I printed the next unit of twelve goblins… have I finished my Mordheim project… errr No!
Should I be finishing my Mordheim project… Yes!
Should I be finishing my Mordheim project… most definitely Yes!
Am I?
But they are so cute!
To be fair, I have had one of those days at work and frankly cannot be bothered to paint anything… perhaps I should zap myself again… it worked last time!
I also have an architectural decision to make regarding a building…
The columns make it look more impressive but add height and are more likely to get damaged in transit. The dome on its own works, but if I took it off something could stand on the nice flat bit….
