Feeling slightly better today and got a few things done

Cleaned up and prepped my Footsore Irish for Dux Bellorum. Spent about an hour looking for my pin vice to drill out the hands to add the spears... It was looking me in the face the whole time :(



Another rat done, the Irish in the background don't look impressed.



Prepped an Oathsworn WarBot. I think these will end up being RustBots, perhaps.



The fiddly Puma build continues




If clay makes bricks, and bricks makes walls. What do walls make? Ice Cream of course.



I had ordered the bases for the Irish from Warbases, so picked up a few terrain pieces. I could honestly sit and glue MDF all day.

This morning has all been about adding basing render to bases!





Now time to finish Puma and who knows after that. Not sure about painting today... snowing at moment and very dark!

Didn't do the best job on the Puma, but hopefully primer and paint will sort out a few of the many mistakes I made.

Revelation... I don't know the difference between 6cm and 12cm... My bases are too big... Oops!!!!

Cleaning up some metal I received from Warlord, well it sat in the Post Office for a week. Ordered the new Tiger, the new SS Calvary and a few packs of personalities. New Tig won't be here until March but a nice 10percent off my next order to compensate, which is nice.

Some more stuff built

Love this blog! Look forward to seeing more of your minis painted up.

That looks like quite an eventful morning, I wish I could work that fast.

Thanks gentlemen. Sometimes I am that productive, Giraffe but not this time. Some of the stuff was done in the afternoon and evening.

Been not very productive this week at all but ended up getting some more Irish Warriors to put them on the right bases this time. The others won't go to waste... All cleaned up and ready for base coating (they aren't glued to the base and i'll add the shields after painting).

More stuff getting prepped. Germans and sci-fi Fishmen.

WOW. I've been away from Dakka for a couple weeks, but it looks like you've been very busy. Lots going on here.

Saw the harlie box. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

Cheers Squall, just need to get painting.

More Irish, swords and a slinger. Once I get the current crop painted, I'll be getting a few more. More Germans, Dreadball and Warbots prepped up as well.




More 4Ground. Lovely AngloDane hovel. Just to work on thatch. Also a little rubble pile made with the left over sprue.

More stuff built. Arabs for Lion Rampart. Gripping Beast Plastics. Not going to be the most historically accurate force as I may have some additional plans for them...




So one unit of archers, and starting on some Foot Yeomen.



Automatically Appended Next Post:
And the Spearman unit built. Need to get bases for them though.

Kreigsmarines getting ready for action

Working on the thatch!




Automatically Appended Next Post:
Only had 7 bases left... But 7 spears are now based...




Automatically Appended Next Post:
Starting my Tiger but now for shopping and lunch. Productive morning though.




Automatically Appended Next Post:
Tiger built. Might do a bit more this evening.

And my last act of the day...

Here we go again, another day of plastic crack building.

A regiment of Skeletons for KoW.



Next is more Arabs, and a skeleton spearman regiment.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Arabs built! Plus Ireland currently beating England!!!!






Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ireland beat England... And I couldn't face skeletons...so I went for rats...

Not much happening. But first unit of Desert Rats built.



Guys who are based are the Bren Gunners, so they might just go on the same base.

Starting to make my Quins

More work on Warlord Minis. German camera dude and Osfront Command.

Quite a selection of different models you have there.

Too many unpainted!!!

This morning a few Black Tree spearman getting ready for the second crusade.


Soviets get a T34/76


And my Victorian Scunts ready for a little green stuff to tidy them up.

Time for a little "Enforcement"

More construction work going on this morning. Crusaders and Arabs got their bases sorted (still have Arabs to do, though).



Ruined WWII building.




Automatically Appended Next Post:
That's the Spearman regiment built. I have 3 spare guys painted already which will finish unit.

Some more Irish tidied up.

You are really cranking these minis out, excellent progress so far.

I'm going to guess that the Crusaders get the T34/76

The Crusaders need the T34 at the moment - they are outnumbered 3 to 1!!!

Some more Olley's Armies Kickstarter goodies built up.

The Buildathon continues. Revenants for KoW

Hobby time has mostly been reading about hobby stuff this week, but plan on getting a unit of Revenants plus other stuff done this weekend.

This morning has been about using up some basing render that was beginning to harden and getting the Revenants ready to prime.

Love the Mantic undead line. Most of my VC core is made up of Mantic undead. Do you have a color scheme planned for them?

Hey Squall. The Mantic Undead are so nice. I don't think there is a model I don't like for them yet. Though I don't use them to their best potential as you will see below.

This is my Skeleton and Revenant schemes so far. Plain but I think it is effective across the battle field. Very fast todo as well. Plan will be for more purple and green skeletons and perhaps do the Revenants in a tinted green. I just paint my Revenants with a undercoat black, dry brush white and use an ink or wash to tint the white.





Bit of undercoating

Thats right. Now that you put them up again, I remember you had some of those pictures up earlier in your blog of the paint scheme.

Got another Bunker painted up. It is the one on the left.





A bit more subtle, but I like both.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
More undercoats, more building. Zombies, Brains, Dark Age Irish, Peacekeepers. Hurrah!

Zombies, Zombies everywhere.



Plus I've started boxing up the terrain that I've built recent so I can get my dinning room table back... Mother's Day Lunch tomorrow.

Did the drybrushing on the Revenants while getting depressed watching the rugby...

In between peeling potatoes...Revenants inked up.

Revenants ready for basing



Dark Age Irish... Idea is to use them for lots of games if I get round to playing them. Photos are bad!

It must be nice to be painting after assembling all those minis.

You painting those up for saga?

I'm painting them for lots of games... Lion Rampant, KOW, Saga and even Of Gods and Mortals...I'm going to try and get many alternative bases... I'm not enjoying painting at moment, nothing seems to be going right... Need my mojo back

Did a wee bit more on his friends...

How do you do the bases on individual minis? The in progress photos look like they have some kind of putty on them.
