Spraying operations held up by snow and strong breezes. Did somebody mention spring? Finally got the M10s and their associated armoured car and jeeps undercoated and topcoated. Some badly needed anti-tank capability for my Airborn.

Finally painted my South American Chileans for the Pacific War as well as my 2mm Austrians & Prussians for Maurice...next question is what next in 10mm?

Napoleonic French & Austrians?
FIW French & British?
Fantasy Goblins & Wood Elves?

Answers on a postcard...

FIW next I reckon.

Painting or anything gaming related other than reading has been non-existent for the past week or so . A busy period at work is to blame. However inspired by Nik's 2mm SYW stuff I managed to find some time this evening to start painting the bases on my 2mm Royalist army. At least it was something and felt good after too long away from the painting table.

Yep - could be...especially as I've just finished "Death or Victory" - top-notch on the Battle of Quebec

Good man 

Two days solid school work, back to 1870 French tomorrow I hope.... No you can never have enough!

I've done the es Salahiyyah mamluks and the Quaraghulam archers. Now comes a moratorium while I nip over to visit my Mum in Cape Town for ten days. Hope my crusaders have arrived by the time I return!

(This thread feels more and more like Facebook!)

Admit it, FK, you're making these names up as you go along! 

Well, I am inspired by a Pakistani friend who descends from a Lebanese family! But Salahiyyah is derived from the name of the greatest leader of the crusade wars, and nobody's going to accuse me of inventing Saladin, I'm sure.
Quaraghulams = black slave soldiers. Sounds better in Arabic, doesn't it?

After finishing the (first) Pendraken section of the Fungal Forest for the painting competition I've managed the odd bit of tinkering.

The following projects are actually started, but this is more of a finish by 2014 list to whittle away at!  Who knows, some of them may even be ready for the 2014 painting competition! 

Finish of odds and sods! Many half done figures, including dungeon fixtures & fittings; flora & fauna...

Trollkin/Gnomes - finish and basing

Swords & Sorcery:
- Picts
- Stygian/Melinbonean equivalents
- Renaissance state equivalents

Fungal Forest - more Mushroom Magic! 

Got loads of figures, but not started yet: 10/12/15mm "Tusk"

Cheers,

Meirion

Last night I decided on a whim to revisit my 'paused' Fallschirmjager on the strength of a forthcoming game this Friday. I was pleasantly suprised at how far I had got with them prior to said 'pause' . So now I have a deadline to get a Battalion worth of infantry and support etc finished for Thursday evening. Nice to be in the painting groove again .

Flesh highlights, white, then red and yellow piping on several French 1870 units done. 

Finished my 15mm US field battery. Say what you like about Battlefront/FOW, their figures do paint up nicely.

At their prices, they should paint themselves. 

i bought all mine from Hobbycraft when they were selling them off.
