Traitor guard done 🙂

Took a lot longer than i was expecting to get finished, Soo much black to highlight 🙁

Traitor Guard Finished

The 14 guard are split into 2 squads Black squad and red squad. (guys with a red stripe on their helmets)

Black SquadBlack Squad
Red SquadRed Squad

Makes it easier to spot them up into squads for games (theres 8 in the black squad as thats the most guard that will show up in an encounter)

Think the Grenade boys are my favourites tho i would like to know how to paint a whisky like colour better for their Molotov’s.

Taddeus the Purifier finished.

Took me a long time to realise he didn’t have a weird nose but his Pope hat had a nose guard. ☺️

Tad the Mad

Pretty happy with how he came out. Think the white cloth could be better though with a subtler shade.

Week 3

Not painted a lot this week but i did get a golden button for last weeks progress (mostly for Janus 5 o’clock shadow 🙂 )

Week 3

But here is the progress so far.

AllAll
hostiles onlyhostiles only
Explorers onlyExplorers only

also got a cheeky game in (shouldn’t have really as i don’t think I’ve painted enough to reward myself with a game)

both me and the Girlfriend couldn’t get anything out of the dice so the Exploration was a bit of a slog.

Week 3

Hopefully I can get more done this week but Resident Evil 2 has just shown up so i think ill be distracted. 🙂

Week 2

Me and the girlfriend also got our second game in and first of the proper campaign (pictures were awful so there wont be ay here), we have gone with the rule that if you suffer a grievous wound you cant heal it in combat but can heal in the recovery phase. (there is a contradiction in the rules around this).

After this adventure both Amallyn and Janus found their Secret Agendas and no one died so good Quest 🙂
