The Dogs - Spring Clean Challenge 2026

Spent today basing and then priming ten units and 4/6 heroes.  They will need all day tomorrow to dry properly.  Working with Speedpaints it is necessary to have a well set primer.  If you work on the undercoat too soon you risk it coming off as Speedpaints are much ‘wetter’ than a standard acrylic.

Meanwhile, a small amount of building and repairing is underway.  I found the top half of the Leopard Company standard after they got primed so will need to get that stuck on tomorrow.  The Green Knight is still in the miniature hospital having been sorely abused by his previous owner.  No idea what they did but I can’t get the two halves to meet properly or get the slotta tabs into the base slots.  They’ll have to come off and I’ll glue and pin him onto the base.  He needs a bit of greenstuff work too to cover the gaps in all of the joints.

As you can see from the photo I’ve got everyone arranged into units and am starting to think about the army disposition and which heroes will command which units.  In Midgard the army is divided up between 3 senior heroes, one of whom is the army commander.  They can influence any units but the other senior heroes can only influence the units under their own command.

Our three main heroes will be:

• La Lionne Rousse who is the Army Commander and will get the main pike and spear units, along with the fusiliers and cannon.  She will be assisted by Sister Standard.
• The Green Knight who is likely to get the cavalry and chariots in his command
• The Ice Queen Sorceress who is likely to get the Greenwood Archers, Wardancers and possibly the schiltrons.  She may well also get the two L1 heroes Kane and Able.

Good news on the orders front.  Warbases emailed me to say the Midgard unit bases will be here on Monday.  Ace 🙂
