MARCHing Onward to Painting Victory!

Hello once again all!

So I'm back with even more stuff to show you.  While I am still making progress on the Orcs I took a side track and decided to finish off one more piece of terrain before I put the project on hold for a bit.

So with that said...

My Chapel of Sigmar!  I wish I had bought this back when GW still produced it.  But I was able to fine one online for a "not so bad" price!  Its been sitting in pieces in the corner of my room for awhile now.  Luckily I was hit by a terrain bug and was able to finally finish it.

Yet another model down and several more on the way.  Still working on Orcs and hope to have more to show in the coming days.

Until then!

The Long MARCH continues...

Hello and huzzah all!

Here I am again with even MORE stuff I've painted!  I've gotten a bug that I really need to sit and focus to finish at least one project.

...I just don't know which one yet....but I have ideas...

While I decided I'd keep cleaning up my terrain pile, I've been slightly distracted by other ideas.  But for now lets take a look at what I managed to get done.

Six Orc Boyz with double choppas! 

I have a unit of 40 Orc boys that have been sitting in display case half done for the last....5 years or so?  After painting some minis for Warhammer Skirmish I got a bug to paint Orcs...so I started painting Orcs....and I keep painting Orcs.

Its Orcs all around!

So I figured since I'm kind of hooked on doing it I'll keep painting them until I'm bored.  Hell!  maybe I'll finish my 2000 point Orc and Goblin Army in the process.

Stay Tuned to find out!

Stupid SMarch Weather! Also February Model Count!

Hello everyone once again!

Well February has come and gone, and here I am to show you all that I managed to paint last week!  Now I did have most of the week off so I was able to get some larger projects done, as well as a few smaller minis for D&D and a little Warhammer Skirmish.

So with that lets take a look at what I got painted!

Two Orc miniatures for my Orc and Goblin army, as well as a little 6th edition Warhammer Skirmish.  Grimgor Ironhide, slightly converted to be a regular Black Orc Warboss.  As well as an older Boar Boy.  I tested out two different skin tones, one bright green and another slightly muted tone green.  Both were actually a lot of fun to paint and I'm happy with how they came out.

Next up!

A bunch of scatter terrain!  Both for Skirmish and D&D.  Not too hard to paint (Except the wood pile...which was hell), but I'm happy I was able to clear this stuff off my paint table.

Now for the bigger projects I have been working on...

A Mage Wrath Throne!  I've actually had this model based and ready to paint for awhile.  I just was not motivated to actually do it.  So I grit my teeth and just decided to come up with a paint scheme and DO IT!

And I did!  I probably went a little too heavy with the dry brushing, but the tarnished throne look is something I can work with.

Lastly, the big project you have all been waiting for!

GW Plastic Fortress!  COMPLETE! (With an extra tower for good measure).  Now all I need to do it get all the other stuff I need for a proper siege.

So adding everything up I managed to paint 20 models last week on my mini vacation.  Adding all the other stuff I painted that's 28 minis for the month of February and a total of 33 for the year so far!

*phew*  Guess I better get to work on what I'm doing for March.

Model Madness! February continues...

Hello once again all!

So here I am with another installment of "Look what I painted!"  Before I do that I thought I'd just show off a game I managed to play with a bunch of my friend over the weekend...

HEROQUEST!  The greatest board game ever made.  We've been slowly going through the adventure book and just finished up the 5th quest out of the 12. (Although technically the first adventure is more of a board game then a "mission" mission so I skipped that).

Okay I just thought I'd show that off before I got down to the meat of what this is suppose to be about...

Three Orc Arrer boy's for a little WARCRY 3 BLOOD DRAGON!!  I have about 12 of these guys sitting around so I figured I'd paint three so I can use them for a little Warhammer 6th Edition skirmish.  Hopefully I can get around to actually finishing the whole 12 man but for now these guys join the pile as I work on a few more things...

Hopefully I'll have more ready before the end of the week!  Stay Tuned!

Mid Feb RUSH!

Hello all!

Another week, another few minis to add to the pile of stuff I've finished!  So I didn't manage to get as many as I wanted done.  But I got had a chance to finish a unit I'd been meaning to complete for a year now.  So with that said...

Two Chaos Warriors of Tzeentch!  The last two I had to complete a unit i start last year at around this time.

Honestly?  the paint job on them is a bit rough.  I'm not all that good at edge highlighting but I figured I would use this project as my test case.  Mostly just a Tzeentch battalion for fun in AoS games.

With that said, next up!

Okay, now I know I said I would do these last month...but that got delayed.  Now?  They are on the list!  Hopefully I'll have a whole castle out soon!

Till next time!

February and the Great Cleanup!

Hello once again all!

Here I am ready for a new month and new minis I painted. So I got some stuff done and I thought I'd share it all with you.

One Dark Elf Warrior with a Repeater Crossbow, and Executioner and a Goblin Hero!  I painted these guys up for Warhammer 6th Edition skirmish.  I've been watching some online battle reports and I want to put together a few warbands with some minis I have lying around.

So next up!  Finishing up some based models on my desk that have been waiting for years to get painted.  

Stay tuned!

January's End...How Many Minis?

Hello all once again!

So the month is now over and it is time to tally up all that I have painted this month.  However, before that I thought I'd share one last model that I managed to complete before the end of the month!

My General's Adjutant!  Basically a Freeguild General that will accompany my regular foot general for fun and shenanigans.

So with him painted my monthly total for January 2020 is 5 models.  Not as much as last year, but it's a start!  I do plan on finishing atleast one project this year.  So far my list is

1000 points of Stormcast
1000 points of Cities of Sigmar
2000 points of Ogor Mawtribes (Of which 1200 point are already painted)
1000 point Repainted Empire army

So far that is what is on my plate...hopefully I will be able to get some movement on it.  For now...back to painting!
