October! I'm Painting! Seriously!

Hello Everyone!

So I'm back with another update.  I probably should have done it sooner but I have been inordinately busy and haven't had much of a chance...until now!

So the new Free Cities book is out and I WILL be making an army, but before I do I want to be sure I have my proper groove on.  So lets take a look at some more minis I painted recently to get back in the swing of things!


Three PC's for my most recent D&D campaign and a Reaper Bones Griffon!  I am really happy with how the griffon came out.  I was able to practice some wash and drybrush techniques on him.  The Character minis I'm less fond of.

I certainly like the Nolzur D&D mini line.  However they are 28mm but not Heroic, so the features are more proportional and smaller.  I'm not so good a painter that I can pick them off without messing up the whole model.  The face on the sorcerer is hard to see and the same with the Tiefling.

I mean both are fine when playing in a dimly lit room playing D&D.  Bah!  I will just have to practice more.

So next up!  Cities of Sigmar!

October! Lets get Spooky!

Hello once again all!

So, again, not much to report as I spent most of the last month running around Azeroth.  However I have decided to get back in the swing of things as I do want to hit 100 models painted for the year.

Now with that said lets take a look at the one mini I managed to paint last month:


A Reaper Bones Roper!  I planned on painting him up for a D&D campaign encounter.  But my players managed to get to him and kill him before I managed to finish painting him...so now he shall wait on my shelf until they encounter ANOTHER Roper.

So that takes my painted mini total to 85!  I'm SO close to getting to 100.  Now I just have to focus on finishing up 3 more Player Character D&D minis all the while working on another project...


Cities of Sigmar comes out this Saturday and I plan on getting it ASAP.  In the mean time I am working on building a Cities army...although I don't know what I want to put in it yet.  I have a pile of minis I can use, but I still can't finalize it all until I get the book.

Until then all!
