Painting in July

 July has been a much more productive month, allowing be to get through a bunch of fantasy miniatures, mostly from the Wildspire Realm Reforged set.

First off a batch for a dungeon/urban setting. I'm putting a lot of my fantasy stuff on grey bases, especially if I do not have a specific use for them, on the basis that a grey base in an outdoor setting is less jarring than grass tufts and flowers in a dungeon!

These next ones are really bystanders for urban settings, the children would be quite out of place in a dungeon and the dwarf drummer is bound to attract unwanted attention!

I also pained up a bunch of creatures, mostly suitable for a woodland environment, again all Wildspire except for the mountain lion, which is a repainted D&D plastic mini.

I recently got the Midgard mini-campaign "The Iron Valley" and realised I could use a unit of bears, so I painted the rest of the batch.

A unit of Treemen, these are very old figures (1990s?) from the USA, a company called Fortress Figures.

Some old Grenadier minis, from the Fantasy Warriors range, Dwarven rangers (I think these are Nick Lund sculpts). They will also find use in our "The Iron Valley" campaign.

A couple of last minute bits that I've just finished in time.

A female Dwrarf fighter from the Wildspire set. She will be Prinzessin Adalheid in our upcoming "The Iron Valley" campaign.

And some terrain for a change, a pack of Stratified Rocks, 3d prints from Headbunny. I was tempted to pretty these up with some vegetation growing out of cracks and some tufts tucked into corners. But it occurred to me that to do so would restrict their potential use. As it is, they would fit in almost anywhere, the moors of  Middle Earth (or equally Northern Britain or the West Country), deserts, the snowy wastes of Jotunheim or even on the bottom of the sea! 

Painting in June

 I feel like I've been busy in June, but not much painting to show for it. But I did get quite a lot of rebasing done, which took up a lot of the time.

I finally finished the grand rebasing of my 28mm Late Roman and Foes collection, with some Frankish cavalry.

And some Roman horse archers. I painted up the last 3 miniatures for these that had been festering in the PILE OF SHAME since I bought them over a decade ago!

I also re-based and touched up a load of 12mm plastics for my GNW winter campaign, these are the Russians and...

...these are the Swedes. I have a load more infantry done for both sides, but I will need to paint some more cavalry.

Proper painting now, a Sasquatch which is a repainted Heroclix model.

A Deathgrasp, from the Zombicide Undead or Alive set.

The Plymouth Hound, from the same set.

Painting for March to May

Just keeping abreast of my painting so far this year, March was quite productive  but things ground to a halt after that. Not due to lack of interest, but rather lack of time, two trips abroad in April and a week in Devon at the beginning of May didn't leave me a lot of painting opportunities!

A pair of barbarians from the Wildspire set.

A pair of lizardmen from the same set.

Also from Wildspire, a group of dwarves.

Then various sci-fi scatter pieces, from a batch of 3d prints I picked up. All ready for Scrapjacks.

 Then a return to Jotunheim in May

A resin armoured bear from TT Combat's Max Mini range. This is a test paint for a unit for Midgard.

Happy with that, I've now finished the unit.

A Yeti/Snow Demon, another from the Wildspire set.

A Frost Giant from the Wildspire set.

A Ghost Warg, I'm not sure how to class this yet, an undead/spirit creature or just a large beastie. The model is a 3d print Dire Wolf from Headbunny Games.

From warmer climes.....

...a flying beastie, again a 3d print from Headbunny Games. I'll probably use this as a stand-in for an Orphidian in my Chronopia Stygian army.

Painting in January and February

 Intermittent mix of things so far this year. Illness meant that I didn't get a lot done in January, so I tried to catch up a bit in February. My plan was to crack on with the mass of minis in my Wildspire Miniatures "Realm Reforged" boxed set, but that has been derailed, by a new game that has grabbed my interest. Of course I'm a gaming butterfly sometimes.

Two armoured adventurers from the Wildspire set.

A batch of frozen rocks for my Jotunheim games.

A pack of Gnoll archers and a Pack Leader from the Wildspire set.

Support for the Wildspire Gnolls, "Dogmen" from Alternative Armies.

"Bring Out Your Dead!" a superb 3d print I picked up from somewhere online.

 It's screaming out for a role in a scenario somewhere.

I also returned to my on-going resorting/rebasing of my 28mm Late Roman & Foes forces. Moving on to the Roman cavalry now.

And as I had a few surplus cavalry, a quick partial repaint of tunics and shields...

Middle Earth Arthedain cavalry to patrol the Barrow Downs during the fall of Arnor.

Now my distraction. I've really got into the upcoming new sci-fi rules by Patrick Todoroff, Scrapjacks. These are all 3d print designs by Mr Big Tong.

My salvage team of "Jacks".

Some assorted nasties to lurk in the wreck, undead spacemen.

Cute little maintenance bots, not so cute when they are malfunctioning!
