All Done

Well apart from the usual ‘still the bases to do’ comment😉.

I am calling these done even though I could do a lot more to them. I want them out of the way. I do however keep having to fight down the urge to get some close combat homagaunts and some flyers.

I will get the bases done tomorrow.

Oh and while I remember I hate  some ‘effin’ plastic GW miniatures. I got my son the space marine scouts for Kill Team. Ye God’s they were an absolute sod to put together…why do they make them in so many bits,,,he managed three and I managed one as he was struggling with it…In my defence I was painting Tyranids and assisting my daughter with her revision for May’s exams.

Give me the old style any day.  (It’s a bit ironic that I was just saying I might be after some more Tyranids)… thankfully if I do jump I  will go after older ones.

My son and I have started watching the Fallout TV show… three episodes in and we are enjoying it.

Another Ten Done

Well by done I mean they have paint on them. Still teeth and muscle bits to do if I can be bothered.

Last of the small miniatures

I still have this lot to do though….

Time to bring out a larger brush.

Basically I have four days left to do the big beasties (on my self imposed deadline).

I am hoping that I can crack on tomorrow. Luckily I am not using a lot of colours (well done past me)!

Well that’s the hobby bit out the way…

As some of you may know, I am a principal of a small school. Sadly it has got too small and as such the council is deciding our fate on Monday. Thankfully the staff will be redeployed, but we are still losing the team as we will all be split up. This has been a major stress for the past few months.  In the words of someone senior to me…”it’s Shit!”

So my deadline for Sunday night is there as I may not feel like carrying on on Monday.

Non whiny post will return tomorrow.

We went gallivanting on Sunday and had a close run in with an otter. Guess who didn’thave his big camera.

At one point we were about 20 metres from him/her.

I have some out and about videos that needs putting onto YouTube. Hopefully they will be done soon too.

Painting Again

Well I dragged myself off my bed to get some more done on the ‘Nids. Feet were on fire this afternoon… hence the bit of a stint on the bed with hhem raised up… made bugger all difference but hey ho!

I decided to get half of the termagaunts painted this evening and I managed it…

I am also pleased to note that the green/brown combo now outnumbers the black/white in my box…

My original plan was the the weapons would be the dark green shown here:

However, I remembered that each bio weapon is a distinct creature in its own right so I went for an orange colour instead. It works for what I want. I went for Speedpaint ‘Fire Giant Orange’ as the Dipping Ink version didn’t really work with a single coat.

Hopefully I will get the next ten termagaunts done tomorrow.  I want this lot finished by time I go back to work. If no weird crap happens then I reckon it is do-able… queue weird crap music!
