Werewolves a mini update

A teeny bit done:

I have managed to get the uniform green base colour on and the grey base for the fur.

I dithered a fair bit about the colours to do them. It was going to be a random mix of colours for the fur, but instead I decided on grey for them all. I will alter the base by adding different colour washes. Browns etc…whatever I can find.

If I wanted to add another unit I would choose a different fur colour to keep them separate.

later on…. an update:

I added the various washes and painted their breeches a very light grey.

The washes didn’t work how I wanted them to, but to be honest I will work from where I am.

I might repaint the caps as they are meant to be black…. however I do quite like the green.

Next Up… Werewolves

I decided on this unit.

Nine werewolves and a vampire officer. Normally the werewolves have a different officer, but as I had this one from the command pack handy I decided to save £2 and utilise what I had.

Once again I will be back to Russian Green with red turn backs.

I got some airbrush paint this morning too.

This is to paint up the three Char B1’s for my mate. Kind of useful colours for other stuff too. I also got some airbrush thinners too.

Zombie Dogs Go Wild

The Dogs escaped!

Well okay I tried to get some better photographs of them in natural light.

I enjoyed painting these and managed to get them done over three nights. I am definitely improving regarding the painting, but still not where I want to be… to be honest I am not sure where that is, but some people are amazing artists on the same figures, so perhaps closer to them.

A couple more shots from different angles…

I am not sure what to paint next, possibly the dwarves. These need glueing to their bases, as do the werewolves, but maybe I shall keep on with the undead theme. It’s not as if I don’t have a bit of choice with the unpainted undead pile.

Zombie Dogs Further Work

I cracked on with these tonight…

The peach collars and cuffs was originally meant to be a base coat for a bright orange, which when mixed with white came out this colour. The thing is, it has grown on me, so much so I painted the lolling tongues a darker colour to distinguish them from the peach.

Really just the weapons and some highlights and they will be done, well apart from the bases and the varnishing.

I might splash out and get these chaps a standard bearer. But then again the mountain of lead I have to paint may mean it takes a while.

I have decided that I am going to try, really try to avoid anything else that requires painting. This is for a couple of reasons… first being cost. I am wanting to buy some new re-enactment kit, every penny counts when kit is involved.

Second is a more pragmatic reason. I have so much unpainted stuff sitting around, that I actually don’t have the time to paint it all. Everything from 10mm up to the 28’s. Not to mention from ancient through to sci fi.

I reckon I could paint a 28mm figure a day and I wouldn’t be finished by Christmas.

Zombie Dogs

I made a start on the dogs…

A blue uniform will make a change from the vast majority in Russian green.

These chaps have a blue tunic, white breeches black shako (not that any are wearing them) shoes, equipment and straps.

There will be a fair bit of bone on show too. The one at the back has basically a skull for a head.

An Othari Aristocrat and some Zombie dogs

Been a couple of days since I painted anything

as I converted an old stable into a greenhouse.

I did manage to get the Aristo finished. A great little figure. He would make a very good Scarlet Pimpernel. A bit effete in his mannerisms. I do like his hanky to the fore stance.

Next up Is going to be a unit from Zoltan’s 666th regiment. A unit of dogs that marched into the Witchlands ahead of the Ferach advance. They disappeared without a trace, only to turn up later as an undead horde.

There are 8 troopers and an officer/sergeant of sorts. From what I remember the troops only came in three different poses. I grabbed five random troopers in my last purchase from Alternative Armies.

I am not sure what colours I am going to go for. A bit of research into the Witchlands book is required.

More Finished

Managed to get these all finished:

Well when I say finished … the crests need a brighter highlight.

Mine are the lighter coats, my mates are the darker.

Not sure what to paint next…

Probably these:

They are undercoated and ready to go.

Ferach Stragglers II

I had another bash at these tonight.

They are pretty much finished apart from the metalwork on the muskets and a bit of toning down on the grey highlights on the black hats. It didn’t darken down a# much as I expected when it dried.

I also managed to get a bit more done on my Zombies.
