That's the lot. Everyone back to their own beds please
Everything is done . Still haven’t decided what to do as far as command stands go but very pleased how they turned out
There not Badgers! No one was more surprised than me
Some more done. Happy with the ink/water ratio now. Not that I can remember what it was though
And a leader type. Decided to reverse the colours but I think the green is too dark
There Dwarven Badgers and that's the honest truth Guv
Few more started. Already wondering what to buy next
Probably 10mm fantasy
Decision made
So a lot happier now . Still using Vajello 70.806 German Yellow but have gone back to my tried and favourite wash using Winsor and Newton drawing ink. This time I used nut brown rather than peat brown as I wanted something quite dark between the armour plates
So onwards and upwards to get the rest done and then a decision on what to do with the command figures.
Decisions Decisions
So thinking of paint schemes I came up with these two. I’m leaning towards the yellow and green although the sepia wash from GW is too think. Need to get another W&N peat brown ink which is my usual go to
Saying that I am tempted to give contrast/speed paint a go for the first time
New toys arrived
To quote the official GW selling manual (or at least I heard GW staff say it) More Teeny Tiny fighting men have arrived !!!
At the moment I have no idea what colour to paint them so I had a quick peek at some GW painting sites for inspiration.
So after having a good look round the internet (I looked at so many sites I had to buy a whole new barrel of freshly mined internet for the job) it seemed to me that as soon as the grimdark started all the heads of the legions made a beeline for their nearest Laura Ashley store to bulk buy chalk based pastel coloured paint for their armour and in the end none of them really inspired me
At the moment Im not 100 % sure what colour I want really . All I do know is that the guns have to be red. I shall ponder these questions while I remove flash and mould lines and post more out of focus action shots later
And that's your lot
Final 2 stands of heavy/support weapons
I’ve enjoyed painting these figures from Vanguard miniatures. Nice detail on the models.
I’ve nothing really rules wise at the moment and more importantly opponents to use these with but it was nice getting back to painting 6mm again
