The Undead…
So left to right we have the vampire with his two Dregs. Slightly to the front is the necromancer. Behind her are five zombies with three ghouls finishing off the roster.
In the box is a dire wolf, which could be added to the roster at a later date or swapped prior to the first game.
Geek club had a go at making their own tufts today…
Flipping heck, the electric shock from the flock box kick started my mojo this evening… I actually sat down and finished the Witch Hunter Heroes.
I will get them based tomorrow and start on the next one. Undead or Sisters are on bases and just need undercoating.
Probably the undead as they are easily got at.
Still not sure about her boots!
Tonight I worked on the Last four of the witch hunters…
I really am struggling to like the one with the crossbow. I think it is her yellowy trousers wirh the jet black boots.
Now I still have to build the armour back up as it has just had a wash. This lot should be finished tomorrow evening I hope.
I switched out the Highland Witch hunter dog for this one, which comes from my LOTR stash.i felt this one looked more like a war dog than the other one seen below.
Once they are done, I will need to get this lot sorted out…
The one problem I have with the Highland miniatures dwarves for this project is the lack of young dwarves. I am making do with a couple of the artillery crew. The other mass of body parts is for my Reikland warband.
Nine miniatures for the humans, six for the dwarves.
I still have the Sisters to paint too…
Schools were off today due to the snow and will be tomorrow too. Its bloody freezing! Again!
Or in the words of the famous Corporal Nobby Nobbs… ‘Sodding Nutters’.
As I had been painting the various miniatures I kept adding any spade paint on the pallet to the various miniatures in the box. These were actually quite a long way to being finished, hence two for one.
Now with these I decided to arm them with bows as well as their bludgeoning weapons as I felt that the Witch Hunters needed some form of ranged weapons.
I also got a new toy to play with…
Yes I decided to get a flock box to make speedy tufts… I haven’t fired it up yet, but will get round to it eventually – mainly when I find something to cover the table with as I think the stuff will go everywhere.
Further to this I have been playing around with the mapping software quite a bit…
This was a speedy 30 minute map. I am playing around with the basic controls… there is so much more I can do. What I need to do is find out how to make the roads wider so they can be seen easier.
So after faffing around for ages I managed to sit down and do some painting.
Here is my Priest of Sigmar for my Witch Hunter force. He has joined my flagellants on the nearly finished list.
I printed off most of my Reikland troops today. I may have forgotten to slice two of them as I only have seven miniatures. To be fair I didn’t really scroll through the drive slowly so they may be there. Either that or I saved them somewhere odd, which is more likely.
I am sat here listening to the wind driving the rain against the window… it is not a nice night. I believe the snow is coming back tomorrow, which will be a change from relentless rain.
Tonight I made a start on the Witch Hunters. I decided I wanted to finish the flagellants and apart from the base I managed it.
I also had a play around with Campaign Cartographer and managed to make a simple map… there is plenty wrong with it, the text being far to small for the towns to name one.
There is still a fair bit to do on this one, so I will keep you posted.
Thanks for the guesses what this is….
The circle of dots in the middle of each circle is the light from the microscope. I will let you know what it is tomorrow.
I was chuffed this evening that I had got the undead all finished, I counted them then counted them again and suddenly realised I was missing someone. Yes, as I hadn’t used my list again then I had forgotten to print one of the most important characters in an undead force… the necromancer!
I had a mooch about, in case I had one, I did but it didn’t appeal to me as it was a skeletal necromancer. I decided that I wanted something different so chose a female miniature to act as my missing person. I will print her off during the day… this is the horde as it stands…
I also sliced the vampire in his human form, you know in case he wants to pop into Sigmar Haven for a quick bite.
I never got the Reikland lot sliced as I was too busy choosing a necromancer. Hopefully tomorrow.
I thought I would drop by to let you all know that I am in fact still among the land of the living, haven’t been abducted by aliens or indeed got lost between home and work (but it was foggy the other morning).
Motivation to write, let alone paint anything has in fact taken a bit of a nose dive. But shock horror… I did in fact put paint to miniature this evening and made a small amount of progress on the skeletons I printed ages ago…
I went for green this time as it was handy and I couldn’t think of another colour I fancied.
At the weekend we went to Brucklands which is a recycling centre in the North of the islands. I went in hoping for a bit of a storage solution and shock horror I came home with this for a fiver…
As you can see I have already filled it up with crap. Sadly my cat food boxes don’t quite fit. I am covering them in black tape to make them less obvious. The photo was taken when I was having a test run.
Hopefully I will carry on with a bit of painting tomorrow.
Today, I was feeling totally crap, my left arm is really sore where they shoved a Covid Booster into it. He did say it might be a bit more painful than the last one. He wasn’t kidding! Either that or I am a total wimp.
My family and the kids at school have been down with various Winter bugs… I reckon they have caught up with me.
Anyway I did a bit of slicing today as well as some printing. I also decided to get some paint on the undercoated skeletons. Not exactly a huge amount of work, but better than nothing.
At the minute I am printing half a dozen ghouls, having already done some dodos for the kids next week.
So I was bored and decided to get the base on the cart sorted rather than leaving it… so here it is in its almost finished stage…
Really just the zombies and ravens to add to it.
