Fred - 2017 Painting Diary

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Thanks Forbes

[Nosher]

I will take some pics over next few days of the DRM stuff and the sci-fi terrain I have. Need to offload them as they are simply not getting any table time due to not being able to find a rule set I am happy with.

Quite a lot painted in the last couple of days

Headusemen - these are quite old figures and a bit rough round in places - but look suitably imposing and brutal
Goats and sheep, and ducks and chickens from the new farm animals ranges (aka Uncle Phil's petting zoo) - these are very nice figures. The rabbits and cats are bloody small though!



Basing still needs finishing - which seems to make the figures camouflage into the bases rather a lot.

Quackery Forbes!

The "Zoo" looks stunning all pained up and based! Like the kitty herding the geese.

And the one contemplating the chickens

I overlooked the rabbits completely in my first look, the finished basing will hopefully make them more noticeable

[fred.]

The cats and rabbits seemed better added to other animal bases, rather than being based on their own.

Like the kitty herding the geese. 

I'm not sure that cats ever lower themselves to mere herding, I think it is just observing, and letting its presence be known.

Last figures of 2016 (even though its the 2017 thread)

Haedusmen


Codes, FHA2, FHA3 and FHA4 - I particularly like the big shields on these guys


And next the farm animals

Goats, with a few sheep and rabbits


Gone for a mountain goat style, with quite sparse pale flock

Geese & Chickens (with the odd cat)

Gone a bit greener with the flock, but kept it sparse as chickens always seem to eat everything
Struggled to blend the bases of the chickens, I think partly as the figures are so small

And a shot with some LoA figures for size



Chickens

Awesome work on the barnyard animals.

Thanks chaps.

Happy New Year Fred. Love the animals. Must get some for my farms, baggage raid scenarios, camps etc.

[fred.]

Thanks Leman, and a happy new year to you too.
