Well I signed up to the tale of X gamers painting log so I thought i would make a start. First up on the painting table are the following
Bearers pack
rhino
a flying lizard
armoured car,
truck
staff car
Giant mushrooms

I Will get some photos taken outside tomorrow, rather than using the flash tonight

Cool - looking forward to some pics 

Starting off two different undercoats, black and Ogre flesh. Cut the tail of the flying lizard to make it more Pteradonesque

Starting to get colours on,  I am using 3 colours for the bearers skin, basically Foundry Bay brown a, b and c.

getting there with the bearers, all done except highlights on the tunics and packs, you cant really see the flesh that well on the photo.

another shot of the bearers
http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc31/Maenoferren/DSCF2180.jpg the majority are in plain tunics. Sonme however are in bright coloured tunics, 2 red, 2 blue, 2 yellow and 2 green. these allow the players to see which bearers belong to them.

The mushrooms are from some night goblin sprues, which I found when I was looking for something else. I am writing rules for them as we speak, well obviously not right now as I am typing this 
Cheers

Bollox    I decided to super glue my bearers to their bit of stick, i generally use some cheap crappy stuff, just about better than spit, but couldnt find it. so I, in my infinite wisdom decided to use gorilla glue superglue and guess what. It has done what it says - sticks anything! bum, bum, bum! What makes it worse I cant find my side cutters

Doh! 

Doh indeed

As Lentulus had funky music at the start of his thread I feel I now need to add appropriate sound effects to my darkest Africa thread   You might want to turn your speakers down a bit  

Actually in terms of music this might be a bit more appropriate

Haha, I love that one, I used to play it for the eldest when he was younger!

Right - sat in glasgow brought a whole load of paint and figs on the plane with me, hopefully I will actually paint something tonight
Brought some hunters, the Askari and Massai...wish me luck!

Good luck - like where you are going with this Tale of X

Cheers Nosher.
I am now back from GLasgow and I achieved... Nowt, nothing, in fact bugger all, Carried all that paint, and acheved nothing because basically I couldnt be bothered to basecoat 60 figures with a brush, so am now ay behind . I Also found out that you cant get ogre flesh spray cans any more which is a bummer, because I wanted some, so instead I got some army painter desert yellow  .
MUst, must, must do some tomorrow night

Well I was a good boy and prepped 90 figures  and 18 dinosaurs for painting, Attacked the flying dinosaurs with my newly purchased snippers and made them a bit more pterasauresque.
will get there eventually!

Undercoated 70 figures black and 5 velociraptors white with a brush tonight and to be honest I cant be bothered to paint anymore tonight

Masai nearly finished only the shields to do, now to do a basic 4 shield pattern or go the whole hog and do thirty different ones
Askari started too. But tonight  we were gaming tonight. Lord Percival Fanhard, Marway Beauregard the original two were joined by a Yank  and were off saving Victorian London. 4 weeks of gaming and until tonight we fired 2 shots, one each, tonight when joined by our esteemed American colleague we let rip with every weapon possible, me running through a house a colt in each hand and I actually had to reload both of them. The American Chappy borrowed one of my matched Purdy shotguns and then snapped the stock  whilst using it as a club, I ask you... why he couldnt have used a poker or a table leg!(dammned colonial!) Altogether a lot of giggles all round

Cool - sounds like The Extraordinary League of Gentlemen/The Mummy Peace through superior firepower
