Well these were a bit quick… All done in a short time
A Goose girl, Flautist, Bloke with a snake and a posh lady with evil intent, either that or she is about to chop vegetables.
I have more Undercoated ready for tomorrow.
They will probably take longer as they are a mix of knights and Guards so will need their livery done.
This evening I managed to get these pretty much finished apart from the bases.
Managed to get to 22.30 without a nap today so I think I have turned a corner.
And Women…
Well, that’s this evening’s paint flinging over for a bit.
If I were to be honest I would say that I am not enjoying painting them. Part of me thinks that I really didn’t enjoy building them either.
So for my five leagues I have:
My Heroes,
Undead types,
The Sons of the Dragon’s Blood,
The Northmen,
I am going to use GW Mordor Orcs as Brigands etc. it’s what I used in my One Ring RPG.
I also have painted ‘Hobbit’ Goblins as well as the GW Moria Goblins.
Civilians are courtesy of Guards of Traitors Toll.
I can use my Rohan and Gondor Miniatures too. So quite a bit to faff about with them too.
Not to be recommended… this evening I decided that I really needed to paint something. I managed to get so far before giving up as I was coughing my guts up throughout…
Hopefully the cough will have gone by tomorrow and I can carry on.
Ye God’s I am absolutely knackered this evening and the pain in my feet is back with a vengeance. I did however manage to finish the last chariot and charioteer.
I also finished the pair of cavalry. I have decided to mount the chariot warrior so cut the base from one of the Warlord miniatures and then built him up to fit in the chariot next to the driver.
I now have nine cavalry finished, this leaves three to go … well I think there were twelve in the pack.
I will try and get them built tomorrow, along with some more warriors on foot.
This evening I worked on the remaining two chariots and managed to get them nearly finished.
Still a bit to do, but nearly there. The driver is almost finished too.
I almost finished the two cavalry too. Hopefully they will get done tomorrow.
Next question for myself is do I add the warrior to the chariot or onto the base.
My new acquisitions have been posted and should be here by Saturday.
Now in my Tags for these posts I always tend to say Army Painter as to be honest yhey have been used the most. These chariots have also had Vallejo, Contrast and Dipping Inks.
The title says it all really. This evening I worked on the celtic mobile mob.
I got the horseman finished as well as the chariot…
I might darken the legs on the right hand horse.The interesting thing about the chariot crew is that it is basically the same miniature with a different head and the right arm is rotated slightly.
I worked on the other chariots and cavalry too, just never got them finished.
Because I am an idiot and felt that I didn’t have enough to paint I went and bought some Victrix naked fanatics and Celtic cavalry.
My only excuse, apart from being a total pillock is that I have fifty legionaries and therefore required a few more of the enemy types. Obviously I will need to get some Auxiliaries both infantry and cavalry… oh yeah and some artillery…. I need help, I really do! Does anyone actually reckon I will ever use these?
That is what I achieved today. Motivational crisis occurred, so sadly no painting this evening.
I reckon I could have had this one finished in ten minutes.
Once again I seem to have a thing about choosing green.
This evening I set out to do the last undercoated celtic cavalryman. Unfortunately I couldn’t keep my eyes open; so I got this far…
My latest Warbases order arrived and although a bit on the large side I am happy enough with the chariot bases.
The rectangle in the middle is 100mm x 50mm. My thinking was that the Celts would use the chariot almost like a transport system and would fight on foot. I can therefore shove the odd warrior or two in this role.
Well this evening I did manage to get this pair finished…
I finished the one in the centre and the one on the right. I messed around with the shield on the left then tried a pattern on the right one.
Tomorrow I will crack on with another couple of these.
