Yeah I am just about done with the guards.
Everything is painted apart from the bases. These haven’t been done yet as the ground texture paste is still wet.
As you can see I also added the paste to the knights as I had it open. Sadly I couldn’t be arsed to get it on the civilians.
Well I decided that not being arsed wasn’t good enough, so I kicked said arse and got the paste onto the civilian bases.
Some straps and belts to do as well as facial hair and the usual unfinished base.
This evening I worked on my guards. Metal and skin left to do I believe…
A little scamp informs the guards what he thinks about the proclamation regarding an increase in taxes.
I’ll carry on with these tomorrow.
Both?
This evening I managed a little bit of snipping and glueing. These are the four remaining miniatures from the peasant levy sprue.
They will be useful in either Traitor’s Toll or Five Leagues. Not exactly a huge amount, but more than I had this morning.
The sprue still has a load of arms, heads and weapon options remaining. I have some 3D printable WA miniatures so I will have to see if any bodies will be useful.
In other news I am up to 30 hours next week in my phased return to work and am heading off down to Manchester in a couple of weeks for some training.
Cor, look at me. Three posts in three days… Today I got a package in the post.
Well I wanted a few extra bits and bobs to bulk out the Traitor’s Toll types and also to make a force for Five Leagues from the Borderlands.
So I went for a sprue of Foot Knights, one of Foot Sergeants and another of Peasants. The Fourth sprue is extra weapons for the Sergeants. Mainly pole arms and pointy sticks.
As I was kicked off the Console I decided to build a selection of the knights…
One of these will become the leader of the Borderlands forces. When I rolled up the troops one of them had a full set of armour.
The only sort of issue I have with these is that the guards set are in plate armour while these are in mail.
Back into work for four hours tomorrow. I will try and do the foot sergeants when I get back.
Well today I did another painting, had a go at some hills…
I then decided to start making some of the Wargames Atlantic miniatures…
These did make me swear a bit as although they are meant to be multi part/pose they were annoyingly fiddly and didn’t quite go together as well as I would have liked.
The heads don’t always fit the neck and there are huge hands that don’t seem to have an opposite partner. Maybe I should have checked out the assembly guides on the website.
So my phased return is 12 hours this week, based over 3 days. Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Next week I am up to 15 hours so I am trying to get some hobby stuff in when I can.
