Sylvan Kin

Continuing this weekends progress another 6 stands of sylvan kin, now with added Pendraken Centaurs!



And bringing up to 12 total stands

Very nice indeed, Forbes 

Looks splendid!!

Rather superb! 

Thanks chaps.

I think this gives me most of the KoW units I need for my elves. Time to think about the painting comp...

Great stuff again Fred.
Cheers - Phil.

Painting Comp

Some initial thoughts about entries for the painting comp - I've no shortage of possible entries - perhaps too many options looking at the below list, as I'm likely to want to paint a unit (so 2 or 3 stands) rather than just one stand...

Foot - Pre-20th C. - Min: 3 / Max: 16 figures on a single base, and pre-1900.
LoA
Romans

Foot - 20th C. - Min: 3 / Max: 16 figures on a single base.
German Paras


Mounted - Min: 3 / Max: 10 figures on a single base.
Late Romans (feels a bit last year!)
Republican Romans
WSS Cav

Vehicle - Single vehicle on or off base.
French tanks - started last year, but never got beyond basic block painting.
Various British softskins
Still more British NW Europe armour (3rd year in a row!!!)

Fantasy & Sci-Fi - Anything Fantasy or Sci-Fi oriented, maximum base size of 60x60mm.
Lizardmen
Dragon Rider

Open - Single Base - Anything which doesn't fit into the other categories, with a max base size of 100x100mm.
- could be command stand from any of the above

Open - Army! - Armies, Dungeons, whole table setups, anything!
WSS Armies - nice and colourful
British Desert forces (bit old) - but never fully finished.

The next step is to get some figures out - and get them cleanup and base coated.

I have a dragon rider to do too!
Maybe we should have a paint off (no, you'll win)!

Lemmy, sorry, hadn't seen your comment - a paint off would be cool - perhaps Leon could have this as a category in future, were everyone has to paint the same model! I'm not sure the result between us is a forgone conclusion at all!

The dragon rider is a cool figure, and is completely lost in the catalogue - I also think it must be very hard to cast with the lance running parallel to the neck, but a fair way off.

Painting Comp
Not a lot of progress this week - felt under the weather most evenings then been out or busy with DIY lots this weekend (assembled a desk for my wife, that took the best part of 3hrs - and I'm normally pretty good with flat pack furniture - this one had 35 pieces of wood and not very good instructions!!!)

Went through my figures during the week to pick some out for the comp - discovered just how many figures I have in boxes - a 9l Really Useful box with 4 layers of trays inside conceals an awful lot of figures.

Sorted and cleanup figures for 6-8 entries, and managed to get them sprayed. Blocked on a couple of colours so far.

This is definitely something which I'd like to do, where we'd put together a handful of figures, plus a base, and folk have to put together something using them.  I might bring this in for the 2014 comp.

Damn it, he's ahead of me!   I'll have to find mine tonight! 

Mwha, ha, ha, ha   

I was going to post some more figures, but I seem to have broken Google Picasa web hosting by uploading them!!

Got some general painting done on Sunday for the comp.

Tonight mainly focused on the German Paras - these are very nice figures - I'm quite tempted to get some more as an early war force...

Photos sometime.

After some faffing


General overview from yesterday various bits and pieces done across lots of figures.


German Paras in camo smocks - its supposed to be green lines with brown blobs, but rather looks like green and brown blobs.

Blobs or lines, whatever, they look great to me!
