About the Project
Having just finished two quite long projects I was not going to post up anything more until I started into my next main project. However, with the arrival of the Spring Clean Challenge 2023 I thought I would take the opportunity to finish off a lot of the smaller things on my paint station and in the queue that on their own would not warrant a project. So, this project will cover the spring clean challenge, and then will also be the repository of other smaller hobby progress and mini projects throughout the rest of 2023. Staring out with Wizard, Witches, Ninjas and Elves……..

This Project is Completed
Skirmish Minis – Khajit warrior
Another of the gamers is playing a Khajit (cat person) warrior. On Monday my friend asked me to paint this mini for the other player (my friend designed it for the other player, and it is a 3d print), which I agreed to do.
Cleaned it up a bit, stuck it together and a quick grey prime…. Away we go.
Didn’t have much direction on colours etc from the other player, so my friend said to go with black fur. I thought purple clothing may look nice against that, so I mixed up a couple of contrast paints (going for a reasonably quick job here) and slapped them down.
Added yellow piping to the purple, and went for a pale blue for the trousers to give it some lightness and to represent silk clothing.
A bit of tidy up, base work, metals and the weapon and it was finished. Quick job overall, not super neat in places (the camera can see more than my eyes….) but it is done, looks ok from play distance and is usable – more than it was a few days ago ?
Skirmish game
Just a few pics of the Elder Scrolls set skirmish game from yesterday.
Five of us had a main character, and a number of NPCs on our side.
Against loads of imperial soldiers (roman minis) and some big boss bad guys.
Player minis in the front row
Cooperative game, the heroes came out on top, defeating the imperials and capturing their target objective…. then beating a rapid ‘tactical withdrawal’ when a super powerful necromancer turned up.
Project end
1st January 2024
The turning of the year brings the end of this project.
It was originally set up for the Spring Clean challenge, and additionally covered any other small ‘bits and bobs’ that didn’t warrant a project of their own.
Overall, for me at least, the year has been pretty productive in hobby terms:
Completed my Deadzone project
Completed a clone force for Star wars Legion.
Took part in the Terrainfest.
This spring clean and other bits.
Completed two factions for Kings of War Vanguard.
Hopefully I can produce just as much, if not more, in 2024.
And perhaps try to improve the quality too.
Thanks to anyone that has been following this.
