First of the Undead

Tonight I did the first of the undead. These are commissars of the KGB.

As you can see they look rather dead and are liche officers. The one in the middle looks a bit odd as he is an undead toad.

These weren’t too difficult to paint due to the minimal details. I actually used some Speedpaints on the coats as I wanted a different grey to the trousers. Needless to say I was very, very careful. Tomorrow’s lot will take longer as there are four miniatures with a lot more detail on each. Two are vampires one is a drummer and the last is a standard bearer.

Final Ork

This little chap is the final ork from the Alternative Armies pile of miniatures I am doing for my mate.

I had sent him a photo of the latest two and asked what colours he wanted doing on the undead.

I was just about to get him painted when he sent a message and asked for him to have a red jacket with yellow trim. This isn’t a problem but Five minutes later he would have had a brown jacket.

Of the two Conglave is my favourite of the two.

This leaves the orc reporter for the ork miniatures I will keep going with the Alternative Armies until my secret project arrives 😉.

Giggers and McBam

So I got these finished this evening. It was my intention to get them completely done. It looks like they will need to be based tomorrow.

I nipped into town this afternoon and got some new Contrast paint. My skeleton bone was almost out and my Gore Grunta fur is pretty empty too.

Greate Britorcn Officers

Tonight I made a start on some of the Britorcn officers. Left to right are a military Padre, Major Giglamps of Afri and Captain Angus McBam of Joccia…

To be honest the kilt is a little subtle, but felt it was better than my first attempt. They all Have a long way to go, but at least some colours are appearing on the undercoat. The faffing about with the tartan and chequered cloth certainly slowed things down a bit.

Two More Goblins

Tonight I managed to get the next two goblins done. By done please read that as pretty much done… I might dirty up the armour a bit…

The toes could do with a bit of a touch up as the paint was rubbed off whilst holding the miniatures. I really need to come up with a better way to hold miniatures without a base.

Just the fallen hero to go for the miniature painting… well unless I need more goblins 😜.

BOFA Goblins

This evening I did a bit of work on a couple of the goblins.

There is still along way to go which is probably why I have a bit of a problem with them. The one with the bow doesn’t actually have surfer shorts on, it is in fact a kilt type of thing. I will crack on with them tomorrow and hopefully get them finished.

This evening I finished watching ‘All of us are Dead’. I actually really enjoyed it, although I am not ashamed to admit it … there were a few moist eye moments. I only hope to god they don’t bring out a second series and leave it where it is at.

BOFA Humans

As i said yesterday, I was a bit lacking in the human side of the battle of the five Armies. So this evening I evened things up a bit and got these two done…

Tomorrow I hope to get some work done on the Goblins.

Diorama Miniatures Painted

Tonighti managed to get the Wolves and Goblin finished as well as pretty much do the same with the elf and dwarf…

I was going to put them on a base I already have, but I think I will make something a bit bigger.

Today was more papering, I managed another wall even though my back and legs were giving me gyp. We had to go and buy more paper as we had a change of ideas.. I think we made the right choice. I am hoping to get the rest of the lounge done tomorrow.
