Back at the pigment mines
After a “business trip” to Key West Florida last week and the resulting head cold thanks to small planes and screaming kids I got back into the pigment mine last night. Granted the break has only been about a week, but right now that is actually feeling like an eternity. So here is an update on a few of my projects
GenCon pieces:
I finally got the spare pieces in from Privateer a little over a week ago so I could start laying out the pieces for King Vinter. I’ve got eCaine’s base, King Vinter, plus a Stormguard helmet and weapon. I did not realize that eCaine’s base was set at an angle previously so I’m working on a way to level that out. I was hoping to get the stormguard weapon and helmet on the base as well, but that will make it too busy. So I’ll only be using the helmet.
Spartans:
Crocodile says that Wargods Olympus will be released this May. I’ll still believe it when I see it but after watching 300 I’m energized to paint up some of my Spartans. So I pulled out my two primed Spartan Models (Captain and Strategos) to start work on. Unfortunately the Strategos is suffering from Fuzzy Primer Syndrome so he got some time spent with a stiff toothbrush and some soap to help knock the fuzziness off. Tonight I’ll be able to tell if I fixed the problem and if he will need to be fully stripped and/or re-primed. The captain got a flesh tone base coat, a little darker than I’m used to working with.
Spring Reaper Mini Exchange Miniature assignment:
Last Friday I stopped by Dream Wizards and picked up a few Reaper sculpts, one for me to practice painting see through fabric on (Jenna female vampire) One to paint for my Wife (Female Necromancer) and my spring assignment the Oriental Dragon. Hopefully these should get primed this week.
What I’ll be working on in the coming weeks
• Still working on Rob’s everblight I’ve got a few more things to finish off for him to close out that painting agreement.
• The bulk of my Skorne has been painted up but I still need to get two more units (Venators and Ceterati) plus finalize the warlocks and some spare beasts.
• Spartans!!!!!!
• Plus of course my art projects and the GenCon submissions.
