And just to show how random my mini painting is at the moment here's my latest who I started last weekend.

Baharroth the Cry of the Wind





Not much hobby stuff going on at the moment I'm afraid. Getting warmed up for job hunting, its nearly time to start looking so I've been getting things ready for my impending doom

Nice stuff

Great work on Baharroth. Such a classic model, and you've done it justice!

Really nice barharroth GiraffeX

And Good luck on the Job front

Thanks Azazelx, it really is a great mini, I remember painting one a long time ago when I was a kid with really bright feathers so wanted to dark on this one more like storm clouds.

Thanks Joe

Job front should be ok I have three months left where I am before I need to even start worrying

------------------------------------------

I actually managed to start and finish another mini today in three hours which is quite amazing for me.

Today we go to Darklands with Naraa, Tain of Baalor she's the same scheme as Baharroth, who was kind of my test mini to see if I could get the blending of the blue right.

Her eyes are supposed to be frozen by ice magic, I've never done eyes before and you can tell







I'm due a lot of Darklands minis soon so you will be seeing a lot more in the future

Great work on those last two models, both looking really good!

Thanks Para, even though they were the same basic colours they felt quite different to paint.

I've been painting more Darklands miniatures this weekend, averaging at one a day which isn't great I'm never going to get through my back log at this rate

These are Gabrax from Baagath's herd. I painted Baagath ages ago and only have the banner bearer left to paint now plus the two alternatives but they aren't ready for painting yet.

Chuwaa, Gabrax hornblower





Ungaa, Gabrax warrior





Rapraag, Gabrax warrior





I know I forgot Chuwaa's eyeballs I'll go back and add them in later!

I like the white around the eyes of the hornblower... very goat-like.

Cheers Gits, I was looking at loads of pygmy goat pictures for inspiration, its hard as these guys dont have much fur.

Lots I seem to have missed. Really like the darker Bahaaroth scheme. I think it suits him a lot.

The eyes are really striking on the female warrior/wizard. Stand out well and I like them.

The goatmen are great. How would they compare size wise to a GW beast man?

Good work on the goatmen!

Thanks Archer glad you like how things are progressing. I'm not sure how the goatmen size up to beastmen, I'l see if I can take a few scale shots this weekend.

Great job on these beasties. Fur is great, and it's a lovely collection of models. My goats are envious.

I particularly like the red haired one.

Hornblower? Is it me or is he eating the horn rather than blowing it, blooming goats will eat anything...

Nice work on them, look great.

Nice work on these goats, and the warrior woman as well.

Great looking beastmen. The horn player is my fav.

Thanks to everyone for their comments on the goats its really appreciated

Must apologise for the lack of progress the last few weeks, I'm having a really bad time at the moment and cant concentrate on painting for gak

I've no idea whats going to happen so it might be a long wait for the next update.

I'm still on dakka though checking your blogs so I don't want to see any slacking

Real life comes first Gir. We can wait.

Best of luck!

Hope it works out as well as it can, mate.

Big manly man hugs, buddy.

Hope all is alright, don't worry about not updating we'll be here when you get your mojo back.

Fingers crossed everything gets sorted. Will be here keeping the place warm for when you can get back to the hobby. No rush though.

Good luck mate, I can relate...

I hope everything will turn out fine for you !!!

Thanks guys its much appreciated

All good.. I'll keep checking in. Good thoughts your way!

Orky hugs bud, hope it all works out, we are nothing if not patient. Will wait.

Cheers guys, I'm still not really back life is really rubbish at the moment.

But I have to paint a mini a month minimum as I run a monthly painting blog on another website for people to post what they've done each month and I can let them down

So this month I've painted Blaart, Gabrax tusk-bearer from Darklands who's been sat on my painting table since the last lot were painted.
