Back with a wee ‘ here’s what i’ve been doing’ post! Yeah I really do suck at being consistent – buuuuuuuuuut with a now…… (counts on fingers) 11 month old squigling in the house, things have been a touch………. FECKING NUTS!!!!

Still painting n loving the Moonstone (yeah yeah…… a modicum of credit to Gerry……. mumble mumble……. ) and even played in my first ever tourney (of any kind) at Adepticon in March! I didnt get tooooootally stomped and won one of my four matches. For the very most part the other players were absolute stars and a really lovely bunch of folk to meet and play with. It really a great game adn community that goes with – none of that WAACs shite or meta bollox etc etc. Just folk having the shits n giggle over a really fun ‘ whimsical’ game 🙂

Anyways……… few more denizens of Tauber finished now and again all big fellas. I do seem to be painting all the bigger models from the range and thats really why it takes me so damn long to finish one…… ahem…………. thats my excuse and its true 😛

I started on the new Eric model, Eric the Enlightened at Adepticon and then finished him up looooooong after returning home!! Lovely model but a strange choice of how the model was ' cut' for the mould whcih made painting areas of him a bit of a PIA. He's also a complete prick to photograph!! The base for those interested was made with bits of bark from the garden. Waheey for free basing materials :D

Hmmmmmm.............. This is Drunken Fritz...... he's the alt sculpt of Fritz for the Commonweath......... Fritz is a dick! Dont be like Fritz!! This drunknen arse of a landsknecht (sp) nearly sent me around the fecking pole and he's on my list of ' will never accept for commission work' - he took an age and was a real PIA to paint. That said - lovely lovely model......... once finished. The level of detail is as high as ever with Moonstone and then some. I will never paint this puffy sleeved twat again!!!! (amn really happy how he turned out though!!)

One more!! Boulder the Stone Troll. This lovely fella was one of the first Moonstone minis I came across and was one of the characters that sold me on the range. Such a gorgeous sculpt and I tried to do that kinda sad and gentle look about him justice when painting. A friend gifted him to me at Adepticon so was delighted to finally get a chance to paint him :)

Well that’s me all caught up for now, at least for the ones I’ve managed to finish!! Working on Liv the nordic gnome and the new alt sculpt of the goblin king at the mo so shall try n pop a few WiPs up when i get the chance 😀
