The Warrior from the Night Folk Range.

Finished off the final member of Nightfolk Set 1 you can find pics of the other two members of the pack The Warlock and The Sentinel just click on there names. This guy kind of stumped me a bit really wanted to to the robes purple but wasn't happy with the final colour I was getting. I've since picked up the rest of the Army Painter colour tones Red, Blue, Green and Purple and its really brought the cloak together nicely and he is now finished.

Very much in a Fantasy mood lately I've a few more finished for my Labyrinth project. Working on two more of the Hasslefree Medieval Children and another Otherworld Adventurer the Gnome Thief. Hoping to get those done this week so hopefully finished and will be Sunday's and next Wednesday's posts.

Apologies for the pics light is terrible and they are sort of coming out a bit pale for some reason. The Sun always seems so low and either kills the definition or totally washes out the pics grrr. Bring on Spring!

More Hasslefree Medieval kids.

This week got two more out of this four pack of medieval attired children finished. Just leaving one more to get done. The little fella with the mace has drove me nuts. I seem to have lost the ability to paint left eyes (not that they were great anyway) but this little sod has taken about 7-9 attempts. So I have given up and he will have to do! Again pics are little pale hes a bit darker than this.

The second little girl in this pack is tooled up with helmet, shield and shortsword in a purple dress as this is my youngest little ones favourite colour. I'm hoping to get them to have a game over the Christmas break using a simplified version of SoBH the incentive will be to search the board and kill goblins (more on that next week) and attain treasure (Sweets of some kind). I'm hoping they will enjoy it anyway.

The Trio Completed just one more to finished off!

Kat Shortcloak Mercenery Fighter

Finally got around to picking up Petril's lady wife in the summer but only recently got around to painting her up.

Kat Shortcloak is the wife of Petril a pair of fighters in the Fist's of Iron adventuring company. While her husband Petril gets up close and personal with his halberd. Kat hangs back bringing down enemies with her trusty crossbow. Kats not adverse to a bit of hand to hand and is quite deft with a shortsword Kat's rucksack is made from the skin from an unusual fat goblin that tried to sneak up behind her exploring a cave once. The Goblins green hue which is an unusual colour for a goblin skin inspired her to have him skinned, cured and turned into a bag that serves to remind her to always watch her back.

Nice characterful sculpt lots of little details but not to many. Quite like the studded leather armour and gauntlets. Layered armour. Backpack (it comes in greenskin). The female Gnome fighter comes in 3 pieces crossbow, body and backpack.

Snorri Stoneheart Version 2

Yep thats right version 2!!! Another varnish mishap with Snorri Stoneheart and Tharzon Hammerfist (click the names to see the previous posts/versions) has mean me stripping them both to be repainted. There not exactly the same paint schemes as before some bits have been tweaked. Its took me along time to get around to re-painting this chap I'm not sure which is better but he is finished.

Snorri's background again.

Snorri  is a mercenary fighter of the Fist of Iron Adventuring Company. Since listening to his Uncle Tharzon's tales of ancient treasures, daring battles against Orcs, Goblins and other strange creatures when visiting the family hold. All Snorri has ever wanted to do was become an adventurer. Snorri has spent many years training with his two handed axe and wandering around the family hold hunting goblins he is now old enough and has decided to leave the family home and seek his own path. His proud father Grommel Stoneheart understanding his son's wishes and thirst for adventure has gifted him with his old suit of heavy plate armour to protect him whilst his mother has gifted him with an an ornate warhammer that belonged to her grandfather nick named 'Crusher' Snorri now joins his Uncle and the Fists of Iron on there latest adventures

I've had a play with colour washes over the finished metal. I though I'd do it over the hammer as if its magical or special in some way. Not sure to be honest painting up some other Fantasy themed figures at the moment so might have a play further on those.

November comes to a close.

Wow how fast year this seems to have gone. Its that time of year where the count down to Christmas has begun!

Well what can I say not a lot has gone on this past week. Real life has just been far to busy and not had much inclination to work on anything. The building has had a little work done on it last weekend Its been painted in a mixture of paint and pva with sand added done in a couple of layers with sand and cat litter added in between. It needs a sealing coat and then painting properly. Sadly its missed todays deadline for the forum comp will have to see if I can get it finished for the 23rd which is the Facebook deadline!

Did manage to go to a local show yesterday. The Wargamer show now located at Leasowes High School in Halesowen. I neglected to take any pics but there was a fair number of stalls and some great display games sadly it conflicted with another show in Bristol which may or may not impacted on the number of traders. However there was Ainsty Castings, Gideon Miniatures, Colonel Bills, Black Pyramid Gaming and Lesleys Bitz box to name a few. Shopping was light this close to Christmas though I did pick the rest of the Army Painter inks, Some basing materials Some Rogue miniatures for conversions and a very nice Johnny Rocket from Maow Miniatures (Sold in the UK by Gideon Miniatures) 

I managed to get a few figures finished off over the weekend. Hopefully the weather will be kind enough for me to get some photos of them. Shall try and plan to get the pics done for Wednesday.
