Gnome king giving new meaning to smoking a stoat-gie. Progress looking good!

Thanks! I'm getting there but it's taking so long!

I've finally finished something, woohoo!

Pit Fighter Red (Necromunda):-

Despite my camera not being too happy taking pictures of him, I think he turned out okay.

The Gnome King is almost done now:-

I should, hopefully, have him finished by next weekend.

And I've started a new Guild Ball mini, Shaft:-

Haven't got very far, struggled a bit with his face, there's not much going on there.

**youwashock**

Pit fighter is definitely ready to rumble, and the Gnome King is looking great. Lots of great detail.

Didn't do any painting this week, just too busy.
I think I've mentioned it before, that I'm someones live-in carer, unfortunately they've gone into a care home, so I've lost both my job and a place to live.

And that means this blog is going on hiatus for a while, but I'll be back with more painted stuff one day!

**youwashock**

That's unfortunate. Good luck, aku-chan!

**JoshInJapan**

That's a tough break. I hope things get better soon.

**Captain Brown**

Good luck aku-chan.

Thanks guys!

Still busy packing things up, don't think I would've got into this hobby if I'd ever thought about having to move it all some day.

**Tommygun1918**

Oh, that Gnome King is such a fun looking minis.
A lot of nice color choices.

**blockade23**

When we moved houses, the 'war room' aka the room with all the minis took about as much time to pack as the rest of the house combined. Fortunately I did it over several weeks and moved things to a storage unit first. Sometimes you just don't realize how much stuff you have!

It wasn't quite that bad, but still a bit of a pain in the bum!

Still stuck in moving limbo at the moment, I got a bit bored of watching TV every night though, so I unpacked a little bit of hobby stuff to work on until I'm finally moving on:-

Got some bony boys on the go, I've made a start on all 6 in the set, but there was just too much bone to batch paint!

Also built a pair of Warmahordes people to paint up as well.

**Vejut**

Glad to see you're back at it. Skeleboys are looking like a good start!

Thanks! Not sure how far I'll get before I need to pack it all back up, but it does look like it's going to be a while.

More painting done:-

Got two skellys finished (except their bases) and two about half done.

Going a bit different with the colour scheme on my big barbarian dude.

**Vejut**

Interesting skin on.the barbarian and nice progress on the skeletons!

I didn't paint as much as I hoped this week, but I did make some progress:-

Got two more skellys done and started the final two. If I try hard I should be able to get the set all wrapped up by the end of the month.

Barbarian is getting there slowly, he's got a lot of details!

**aku-chan**

I badly underestimated how much of a pain in the bum painting the cloth bits would be on my final two skellys, so I'm not getting them finished this month, but I got close!

I just need to tidy up where I made a mess with the red and do their bases.

I will also get this barbarian finished one day!

**JoshInJapan**

I like the blue tint on the giant skeleton's axe.

**Tommygun1918**

Nice bone colors. I have a bunch of tyranids that need bone colors like that.
