Everything and anything

I am having issues uploading things but a few more photos.

First is the models from last week after basing

And some more completed miniatures.

First a group shot followed by some individual photos

Next up is a hunting party

A hound, a barn owl, a shrew and some grubs.

The shrew just needs the fur completing and a highlight to the leash.  The hound needs his fur painted and some more highlights added but is in a good place.

I am struggling with the barn owl and choosing the best colour scheme for the feathers but I am sure it will come.

Bar some grass the grubs are complete with an extremely simple paint job but they are basically done.

So more Burrows and Badgers completed.

Also for every miniature painted I swear I find more, but in the plus side at least I have more minis and it don’t cost me anything more.

First up is a beaver and a weasel

and a rat

And these based along with the badger painted by my niece

In the immediate future I see a lot more anthropomorphic goodness as I look to complete some more Burrows and badgers.

I have the beaver priest to finish but is already mostly done and the weasel repaint which I may do to fit in with the recent warband.

The following are all primed and ready for some paint.

i also need to repaint another miniature which I contrast painted to help fit in with the others.  You can see it with the badger painted by my niece.

I also have a ‘recent’ Kickstarter that I haven’t really looked at which I haven’t really looked at yet which until recently were still all in their bags.

So another 26 miniatures to prime and then paint.  However these were all on my spreadsheet and technically accounted for.

May get a few duplicate posts as having issues with the project system.

Anyway, the last Blackstone fortress model has been completed along with 4 burrows and badgers minis.

The B&B do need to be based but as I have a few on my to do list, they will all be done at the same time for consistency.

First up, Blackstone fortress, the cigar kept breaking off so is no longer there.

Currently the site won’t let me upload images so I will come back and edit this later

Now the animals.

The first model is a repaint.  In the summer I had my then 7 year old niece stay, and she wanted to paint a model.  So I painted a couple along with her.  We used some Contrast paints and although I am happy for her model to stay as is, mine I wanted to repaint.  I also painted up a few similar models at the same time.

The original paint job

And the repaint.

Painted along a similar scheme are 2 more hare knights and a rabbit spearman

And the group shot – I did notice that I didn’t do the claws which I will go in and redo when the basing is sorted.

I have re-acquired my work laptop so I have been able to update my spreadsheet to see how well I have been progressing.

So under 850 miniatures to paint isn’t too bad.

However, I do need to take into account that I will be getting the new season of blood bowl for Xmas and that is another 24 minis.

I am also likely to get the new Warhammer quest which is another 50 miniatures.

There is also a chance of some more miniatures for other things I paint.

Finally, I ‘may’ have increased my Kingdom death monster collection with their Black Friday sale.  So I may have added another 30 odd miniatures to the collection.

Taking all of  that on board, at the end of the year I may be back where I started.

Oh well

Another 2 completed

First UR – 025.

I was really looking forward to this mini but I got so bored painting it.  I think that I built it incorrectly didn’t help my mood.

so whilst it is not the best miniature I have ever painted, it is not the worst.  So it will do.

Then Amallyn Shadowguide.

The exact opposite with this one, I put off painting this one as I am not a fan of eldar, but it was actually quite enjoyable to paint.  I think you see the difference in the effort levels.  Although with my photographic skills it may be hard to tell.

And the completed heroes together.

So just the one figure left and the painting will have been painted. And it was only 7 years since it was released.

After getting a mention by Gerry and Sundancer on their show this week, I managed to get 6 Blackstone fortress heroes completed which leaves 3 more.

First up are the halflings or whatever they are called in 40K.  Raus & Rein don’t know which is which.

I obviously painted these at the same time and as with all of the models,  I used the GW scheme as starter and then changed a few things here and there.

Then Pious Vorne

Then Thaddeus the purifier.

Next is Espern Locarno who was surprisingly easy to paint.

Last is Dahyak Ghrek.  For some reason I couldn’t get the face right, but it will do.

I normally post these on a Sunday, and I have a few hours tomorrow so hopefully will get some of the others complete.

After that, I need to decide what I am doing next week.  I may do some more Burrows and Badgers, build my Cursed City models, or do some Marvel Crisis Protocol.  Or maybe a mixture of the three ( or maybe none of the above).

1. Three more done.

i hate painting space marines and that includes chaos space marines.  I started by trying to use the colour scheme from the game but disliked how it was turning out so went red rather than black.

i liked the red but then made a mistake but using a dark green as a counter colour, the marines look alright but I really don’t like how the Obsidius Mallex looks.  However, it is good enough and if I ever play the game, I can consider repainting it.

A group shot of selected antagonists .

Next up are the heroes.

I built one of them really badly and only noticed when I started getting them ready for painting.  Look at the gap between the arm and the cables.

I will try and green stuff some more cables to try and fix it but who knows what was thinking when I built this.

But this does mean that there are only nine mini’s to complete and I will have finished another outstanding project.
