The Whole Force

Well okay there are technically three forces and some interlopers!

So on the left we have the Hundred Years War English and on the left the Hundred Years War French. Both boxes have Wars of the Roses cavalry, heavy in the left and light in the right. The English box also has Aragorn leading a detachment of rangers…

Sadly I didn’t have time to flock everything this evening.

We will be playing Lion Rampant tomorrow.

While I was looking for this lot I came across my original dwarf from Heroquest… I had even painted him, sadly forgot the base though!

Next to him is an original goblin I think. I am sure the Advanced Heroquest had a shield.

All Done

Well that is the eighteen infantry and six cavalry painted. It was a bit of a rush job, but I got there this evening. As I said yesterday, they won’t win any prizes, but they are done apart from the bases. I will get those done tomorrow.

So here they are with the paint still wet…

I am just hoping that the ones in the shed that I think are done are actually finished. I will find out tomorrow.

I would have done it this evening, but I am knackered and really cannot be bothered.

I will add them all together and see what they look like. I know the crossbow men are in a specific livery, I think I have some liveried spears too.

Panicked Painting Progress.

Well I eventually got started on the pile of plastic for Saturday. Six mounts and six infantry finished.

My son worked hard on the mounted gendarme on the right too.

So that leaves me with twelve foot and six cavalrymen to do.

Will mine win any prizes- nope but they are getting done and that is all I want.

I have actually got some Agincourt mounted knights in a shopping cart somewhere, I just have to remember which site I was on!

Painting Panic

Well Loreil Softvale is on hold for a few days. Thule Gamers is having a big game on Saturday and I said I would go along.

Now I could borrow miniatures, but where is the fun in that soooo.. I decided to break out my unfinished Hundred Years War Agincourt miniatures and try and get a force from them…queue panicked music…

This is what is left… oh yeah the cavalry are Wars of the Roses… the cavalry wasn’t our when I started these… easier to paint though. My son said he wanted to help so tomorrow we begin.

Loreil Softvale

Well I worked on the  druid this evening. I managed to get paint in various places that it shouldn’t be. A couple of them will be hidden when I paint the bits. The absolute sod is that I got it under her chin!

You can see the green on her chin and also a khaki colour on the top of her head. Extremely miffed by my incompetence.

As you can see I decided on a more autumnal look for the leaves.

Starting on the Druid

This evening I decided I had better get my finger out and make a start on Loreil Softvale.  I went for a ‘dwarf skin’ colour this time  as opposed to the ‘crusader skin’ I used on Mizzi

I also got Grace the Pirate cured and here she is in all her glory.

As the great, late Frankie Howard said in Up Pompei…”don’t point those at me dear, they may go off!”

Now I have definitely had a problem with this print as there is a ‘scar’ above her right eye and I must have missed a support under her right arm as there was a little damage there too.

To be brutally honest I should have oriented her in a different way on the build plate as the supports have left some damage on her chin. Nothing a bit of sanding wouldn’t solve, but annoying anyway.

Mizzy and her Friend

Well Mizzy is just about finished so I decided to undercoat Loreil Softvale the Druid.

I need to highlight the orb and tidy up a few areas on Mizzy. After two print failures on the warlock bust yesterday, I decided to do the supports myself. Today was a success!…Ahh the joys of 3D printing!

We still haven’t played Heroquest yet… hopefully soon.

Fiddling With Mizzy

I had a bit of a stressful afternoon/evening  as my 15 year old fitted. She suddenly went no verbal, passed out then had what could be best described as an Epileptic fit. So I got back in past nine. 5 hours in A&E with her and my wife having to stay in overnight.

I really couldn’t be bothered it, but added gold onto the bronzeas a highlight. Not that you can really tell. I also went blue on the lenses.

Mizzy’s Metallics

Well this evening I went for some metallic bronze to do all of Mizzy’s buckles. It was then that I remembered how bad the Army Painter first generation metallics were. I decided on these instead of the Speedpaints because it would save me undercoating them all white.

I also remembered her eyebrows this evening!

My next conundrum is what colour and how to do those lenses on her goggles.

I will need to so a bit of touching up as some of the paint has rubbed off. Perhaps on the next one I will use my one and only GW painting handle.
