Painting in August

 Here are my offerings for August. I am really pleased to keep the flow going, although I didn't get as much actual painting done this month. I have started on a grand rebasing project on my 28mm collection. This is primarily so that the armies look better when playing Midgard using sabot bases.

First up the painting.

Some more demons for my Jotunheim/Reign in Hell games. Two little flying critters...

...and a big horned beastie.

Then some wood elf cavalry. Nice looking resin figures but a real pain. They were awkward to assemble, the bows snapped off at the lightest touch - I broke one off just trying to paint it!. Then the resin itself was a bit odd, with shiny patches in places. These shiny bits did not take acrylic paint well, so I ended up giving them an extra coat of enamel spray paint to be able to paint them.

Then on to the grand rebasing project. I started with the Late Roman and Saxons/Franks infantry. The bulk of the armies are Gripping Beast  minis, painted nearly 20 years ago. Since then I had added bits, some pre-painted from Bring and Buys, so they were looking a bit hap-hazard. As I have been getting use out of them again with Midgard, I wanted to fix the bases so that they all tied in better when using sabot bases.

The Roman Infantry.

And the Barbarian hordes.
