2018 painting challenge: reduce the mountain some more!

[petercooman]

Painted all the marines last night, and applied base texture.

Only a drybrush left, then applying flock and static grass and this army is finished! Hoping that will happen wednesday, maybe sooner!

Great progress

Finished the rest of the marines:

BAR gunners


smg and shotgun


riflemen


observer team


So,adding 29 (forgot to add the first 10 in my last post so will count them now) models means: 91 models painted and 4 forces done:

1) pirates   20
2) privateers 10
3) British forces to battle the pirates 19
4) bolt action USMC  33
5) bolt action IJA 33-4 done
6) bolt action germans 21
7) bolt action US airborne 30
8 ) deadzone marauder warband 8-9?
9) deadzone plague zombies mob 30
10) unknown


So IJA should be up next, but i undercoated Ponsonby and staff for my napoleonics, so might sneak them in first!

Great progress

Sneaking in a few Napoleonics is a nice little reward for your efforts and a way to nibble away at "10) unknown"

Yes, but the napoleonics will take a lot of nibbling i think! 

I'm actually thinking about making number 10 my pendraken ACW additions i bought earlier this year. But i might just sneak these in and not count them towards the total. I'll see when i get there.

Currently my biggest concern is; base Ponsonby and his ADC on a big base togheter, like i did with napoleon and his mameluke friend OR base them separately. been on my mind all evening 

[petercooman]

Just fiinshed Ponsonby, De Lacey and Reignolds, and put texture on the base. Letting them dry for the night and will put the static grass on tomorrow to finish them.

Only downside of painting a napoleonic item, is that it comes with more napoleonic items. Still on the painting table: 2men from the  95th rifles and 4 voltiguers in various stages of completion.    I thought i'd get them done so i can get some games of "song of drums and shakos" in. (i have based all the painted up "spares" i had already painted, so have some stuff to start with)

Oh, and i based ponsonby and his ADC separately,the ADC's model just screamed 'messenger', for use in skirmish games!

for anyone interested, it's this pack from perry miniatures that i'm talking about, the ADC is the middle model

No piccy, Peter.

Strangely enough, when i look at the post on my phone i get nothing, when i look at the post on my pc, the image is just there. 

[petercooman]

Got them done:

colours are a bit off due to flash but you get the idea!




The riflemen are almost finished, but the voltigeurs are still very WIP. Don't know if 'll get them ready to have a game saturday evening, will have to provide a "backup plan".



So,adding 3  models means: 94 models painted and 4 forces done:

1) pirates   20
2) privateers 10
3) British forces to battle the pirates 19
4) bolt action USMC  33
5) bolt action IJA 33-4 done
6) bolt action germans 21
7) bolt action US airborne 30
8 ) deadzone marauder warband 8-9?
9) deadzone plague zombies mob 30
10) unknown
