Time has flown since the last update. Work continued to be mental, but i got most of a week off, and did get to continue painting, but it was interrupted with some crazy 12-14 hour days.
But I finished the 20 Block, got the last Guild models painted so that now i have every option painted, got some new projects started.
Read MoreA long time since the last update. Trying a new photo edit system which will make this easier and then i just have to take more notes.
I’ve played a lot of games since last time, a bit of Frostgrave, a lot of Carnevale and 7TV pulp and we had a large demo game at Call to Arms in November.
Read MoreA bit of time since the last update, its amazing how quickly time passes.
A large amount painted since last time, I’ve gotten a few sets done and working on more sets. so a successful few weeks.
Read MoreA good few weeks of painting. Finished the first stage of a project for a game, and am working on more than a few others.
I ordered a bunch of shelves for my storage room so i can put my terrain up properly. This will help to clear room so i can build some test tables for terrain (easier to build when you can place the terrain as you go), and easier to display my models.
Read MoreA huge update this time, i got a bunch of terrain painted, so heaps of photos.
Ive had the past week off due to Easter and Anzac day, you can get 11 days off for 4 working days, which is very handy as often my days off still involve some work as people need me.
I played scenario 2 of Quarantine 37 and it was nearly as bloody as the first, though i managed to get off the table with some models this time.
Read MoreA good couple of weeks of painting, i have mostly finished my Carnevale gang, and about to deep dive into my 7tv Project.
I got to play an amazing game of Stargrave using a bunch of terrain from my collection and while the game was a bust, in that 19/20 models on the table between us died, the game was so much fun. I got some photos so will do a separate post on this.
Read MoreA wrap up of 2021s painting effort and lining up for 2022.
Read MoreCrazy month, we have had a full lockdown, and when that happens work goes crazy. Ive not painted much in the past month but focusing on painting some heavily converted models really well.
Read MoreFinally back, and i painted a lot. As always, i got super busy with work, and Life, and Sundays (when i would normally blog) are taken up with catching on work.
But i have done a lot of painting since June, for a few key events.
Read MoreAnother couple of good weeks. Finished a 20 Block, did a pallet Cleanser and am really into the new block, having finished a bunch of them. Work is as crazy as ever and we are about to properly start plastering and painting my office so i am clearing out the room.
We finished the red king campaign and i am happy to say i am sated with Frostgrave now, having played a ton of games in the past 8 or so months.
Read MoreA 2 week update this time, works been busy and IT change arounds. Got to play a couple more games of Frostgrave and so we are 4 scenarios from finishing the Red King. Its enjoyable but its a good time to finish before it gets dull.
Still keeping good progress i think, working through many models a week, and so i can keep the backlog down (other than buying new stuff).
Read MoreNormal week, a full work week for me, after a few weeks of holiday, and public holidays.
Work is the same as ever, but routine is getting easier, and I am getting into the swing of things with my painting. I finished my 20 Block and have the next one ready to go.
Read MoreA review of the Na’Sain Shrine from Knights of Dice, what i thought of it, how it went together, how i painted it etc.
Read MoreIn an effort to have a record of all of what i have done (for viewers and for evidence in case the house burns down), i am working back through my models and uploading them. I figured i would do this in themes.
So for this first post, lets look at my Frostgrave Warband.
Read MoreAnd now on to the monsters. I had bought some specifically, i had some older bones models and during our campaign Bones 4 arrived, so i had a lot to paint. i also picked up models as we needed them, and from Northstar - the official models. it also gave me motivation to finish some half done models i had sitting there waiting.
the good news was that during the campaign, Citadel contrast was released, which made a massive difference, and i was able to blitz out a lot of models, probably painting more than 40 models in the 2 months after contrast came out, as compared to about 30 in the 4-5 months previously.
I also painted a lot of terrain, and heaps of the Mantic Terrain Crate stuff which i will post later.
so here we go, a lot of photos to come.
Read MoreIts been a while since I have posted but i have not been idle. We have been playing Killteam a lot this year, and then around Easter (i think) decided to finally get into Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago.
We had played original Frostgrave before, but with Richard rejoining the club, it was a good opportunity to get some new games going. the good thing about FGA is that you dont typically need many models although i ended up painting close to 70 and a bunch of terrain. I will post the full pics over the coming weeks.
Below are the photos of my crew and Heritor, and the next post will be the monsters. as part of my new philosophy on painting, i want to paint the characters very well, but the main focus is to get things finished, so not be as thorough on lesser models, as i have a massive backlog and play many games.
