Perhaps....Pile of Shame 2023: Paint with a Vengeance!


Edit: I am going into this year with a clean slate, but will update once I decide what miniatures I want next.

I have also started re-building my pile thanks to printing.

Printed out the following:
- 6 Objective markers
- 6 cows for various games
- 6 6mm tanks

I also found some old metal Foundry Samurai figures hiding in a bin from 15-20 years ago that I am going to paint up.

Painting this year has been slow, but I have gotten in more gaming.

Good to see photos in this thread!

On the blog I use Speed Paints to paint up some miniatures for the Hellboy Board Game that a friend gave to me. I have some thoughts on using the paints, and what they good for and not good for. Plus, their are pictures of some miniatures being painted.



If you are interested in my thoughts and the other pictures, feel free to check out the blog for more details.

I painted up a full army.....



Of 6mm scale armor and infantry on 60 x 60mm bases. All were 3D printed on my Orange30.

I just got my order of 6mm models from Baccus for my Battle of Kadesh scenario.

Congrats Captain Brown!

*Insert Fireworks Gif Here*

I got my box from Baccus for two armies of 6mm Chariot Wars, Egyptians and Hittites.

I am back with things to paint again!

2 Units out of 22 for the Egyptians are done. I haven't even split up the Hittites yet.

I have 6 bases of my 6mm Egytians done. 14 more to go!

Too hot around here to paint lately.

Well done! I love the old Harley models.

I picked up a Hand of Archon box, while not painting any more Egyptians or Hittites.

I did paint 1 Reaper Bones model..... Action Jackson.

After a long summer hiatus, the painting table is back in production on my Egyptians.

4 bases of 6mm Egyptian infantry.

So much good progress from everyone! Good work!

I finished 6 bases of 6mm Egyptian archers for the Battle of Kadesh.

I am onto my last 3 bases of chariots for the Egyptians, but the Hittites are going to have to wait for next year.

Finished my Egyptian 6mm army. Pictures soon.

Onto my Dark Eldar Kill Team as a palette cleanser before diving into some Hittites.

DE Kill Team is done. Onto Hittites.

I think I will be putting the brushes down for the end of the year now.

About 51 of 28mm scale and 34 bases of 6mm scale stuff for the year.
