Nice. I saw the hat and thought “someone needs to do a wild west version of Burrows and Badgers…”

Won this at GenCon while playing in a Blkout tournament. I’ll probably use her as a downed duster pilot, HVT or VIP.

These new Star Schlock figures remind me of something…

More Star Schlock in my Painting Log project.

Picked up some metal Galloglass from Perry Miniatures. I’ll be using them for Blood & Crowns.

Completed more Blood Angels for Horus Heresy.

 

The project system said “Request Entity Too Large”. I know these as chunky boys but it eventually has to be able to deal with Saturnine Terminators.

Something from the waaay back of 1980 that got stripped and reworked. The puddle base of pewter just didn’t do it justice.

Impisi insurgents for Blkout.

Civilians and armed locals for Blkout. I painted them up in pairs with similar color schemes so they can go from neutral to hostile if the scenario requires it.

Finished up the Rogue One box for Shatterpoint.  I did a little kit bashing for Bohdi and used some fishing line and some bits from the Vader/Obi box to make a port for Bohdi to plug his comm line into.

@blipvertus love the kitbashing on Bodhi Rook. Those huge Shatterpoint bases can seem a little empty sometimes…

@jeffersonpowers thanks!  I’ve mostly kept the bases as is as I wanted all of my collection to have the same generic appearance but with a location as icy as Scariff, I felt compelled to do beach, beach, jungle and landing pad bases. And Bohdi’s comm cable was a perfect opportunity to do a simple bit of hobby.

More Eldar. Client decided he wants to play his new army in a tourney coming up, so a bit of a push to get things done.

This week I managed to complete two things.  The first was the Knight Questor from Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower.  He isn’t based yet because I am still awaiting direction on what the owner actually wants.  It’s a sort of commission, you see.  No money involved or anything,  my brother asked if I would paint the heroes and main villains for it (while he paints the rest) so we can play with painted miniatures and the main focal points will look reasonably good.  A did the same a few years ago for Blackstone Fortress:

Say what you want about GeeDubs but these models were a lot of fun to paint (mostly. Chaos Space Marines can get in the sea).  There’s just the right level of grimdark about them; lots of character without being too busy with pointless details.  And not having to paint full armies, just painting a really diverse set of characters was just amazing. And I suspect the Warhammer Quest stuff will be the same.  The difference is, when it came to basing, I could get those lovely frosted effect acrylic bases in different colours – blue for heroes,  red for enemies and purple for neutrals.  I can’t do that for silver tower because they aren’t available without the hex pattern engraved on them, which works nicely for Scifi/Blackstone Fortress, less so for fantasy/Silver Tower.  So the options we are looking at are full scenic bases (the Age of Sigmar Shattered Realms look quite nice) or plain, uncoloured clear acrylic.

The other thing I did was make a small landscape to use with some Backdrop Artwork books I purchased a while ago.  I have been meaning to get around to this for ages and so, with the 2025 Terrain Challenge looming on the horizon (I hope!), I decided to start getting some practice in and I made a smalle, snow covered outcrop.  The row of large stones at the back are there to prevent a hard edge between the floor of the landscape and the background image.  The test subject was the Napoleon Crossing the Alps miniature from Foundry, which is based on a famous series of paintings that Napoleon had commissioned.  In his arrogance, he had the same painting commissioned multiple times with slightly different uniforms.

This fellow caught my eye at my FLGS. It’s not for any particular game, I think it was 3D printed by a local. I think it’s actually meant to be a rabbit, but one of the ears had broken off, so I made the remaining ear into a feather and called it a cat. Lemons and lemonade…

Terror from Below squad pack from Shatterpoint.
