I believe the Dwarf is Reaper and the dude standing there with his fingers all dark jedi is
Anima Tactics. This next piece is a Spirit of the Forest from Reaper standing on a sculpted
base I saw at the store.

**malfred**

Progress on Vindictus.

**malfred**

More progress on the Errants.

**malfred**

Spirit of the Forest. It's a basic Beasty Brown for the bark and Bonewhite for exposed tree.

**malfred**

Protectorate models after a brown ink wash.

**malfred**

CAn't remember if these guys got the Brown Ink or Sepia.

Mal, I'm going to steal this idea to make some quick objective markers for my Mercs - were the flaggs attached to the poles when you did the above, and how watery did you make your PVA glue?

Dysartes, I'm not sure. Probably a good rule of thumb is to start at 50/50 and see how
the results turn out. Just be careful. When the paper's wet it tears much more easily.

Chaplain progress.

Making that poor Servitor carry your paint pots...

Got to find some use for 'em, Platuan.

Thanks for the info, Mal - just need to pick up some dowel tomorrow, and away we go.

**malfred**

More trenches.

**malfred**

More stuff ready to prime!

**malfred**

Some stuff I primed in the midst of this painting spree for future months of painting goodness.

The Anima Tactics guy with the fist and sword.

**Dysartes**

Possibly my eyes deceiving me, mal, but does Anima guy's sword look bent in that second picture?

**malfred**

Probably just an optical illusion. Or maybe it's bent. I'll have to dig the model out.

I thought it might be an illusion, but I wasn't sure.

I think I'm going to try to set my volume benchmark for the year at at least half of your non-terrain pieces total

I take it the swarm of flags aren't included in that total?

I probably included it because it took me time to figure out how exactly I wanted
the flags to look and it was time spent away from painting minis.

And now for a random dwarf.

No clue why I bought this. The only thing I can figure is that he has a polearm. Models
with polearms are infinitely cooler than models without. See also: Grey Knights.

Allegiants of the Order of the Fist

Looks like 2 dudes performing kata. Haha.

Anyway, this is the Feora 2010 model. The pose is from the new artwork for her and it's
a much better model than the original. However, I'm still unlikely to use her in games as
there are other warcasters (and factions) I'm far more interested in playing.

Burn, baby, burn - disco inferno.....

Vice Scrutator Vindictus. A lot of jokes about egg armor, but he's a fun game piece
and a unique model to boot. I even broke my rule about no stripping minis when I
screwed up the original primer job. I sank him in simple green, scrubbed out the
crevices and got ready for some more.

**malfred**

So the next thing was a second Unit Attachment for my Temple Flameguard
