Thank you! Yours too. I love the skin tones you’ve been getting!

I stole another 45 minutes to myself this evening and cleaned up a couple of 3d prints (plus some cheerleaders for my Blood Bowl high elf team). Yep, this month, UGNI miniatures (https://www.patreon.com/UGNI_miniatures/posts) have created Jim and Bob minis for Blood Bowl (of course, they’re called James and Robert, but you get the idea!)

I’m really looking forward to painting these two and adding a bit of “set dressing” to the board. Since I’m trying the “slap chop” method for my elves (although with the additional highlights, it’s not really much faster than “traditional” base wash and edge lining) I thought I might give it go for these guys and see how quickly I can get them done.

I find Contrast Paints a little hit-and-miss (consistency wise) so I bought the Army Painter Speed Paints Mega Set from a local wargamer who had given up on them. So this Thursday, before going along to the Hove Park Tavern Rock And Blues Jam, I called in on none other than a certain Mr Henry Hyde (for you Warhammer-heads, you might wang on about about Henry Cavill being in “your tribe” but for us old-school gamers, it’s a different Henry who was our wargaming hero, growing up!). I’ll be giving his (now my) Speed Paints a run out with these two over the weekend.

Loving this 30-minutes-a-day approach – will be boring you all with more updates soon…..
