Field Trip to Reaper

On Saturday Reaper held a party to celebrate the end of their Bones Kickstarter.  It managed to raise 3.4 million so that's a lot of little plastic men they have to deliver in March.  Reaper rolled out the red carpet and supplied food, drinks and bones to paint.  I thought about bringing a basic set of painting gear but in the end left it all at home.  This made the paint and take more challenging as I did not have the colors I'm use to using or my normal brushes.  Still it was a fun time and hey the minis were free so no complaints from me.

I have no idea what colors I used but I did a lot of wet mixing, trying to get highlights etc. Once I got home I decided to touch the up and use some washes to pretty them up some.

Mantic Skeltons

Last Night I stayed up late finishing a group of 10 Mantic Skeletons.  I think that came out OK for table top quick paint jobs.  Not particularly thrilled by the them but they will look fine when playing Dwarf King's Hold.  Now I just need to paint the Dwarf's for that game.  The painting was sped up by mostly using a single base coat followed by a wash.

I'm not dead.  Just stopped blogging for a while.  I thought about doing some catch up posts but I think that's what burned me out on blogging last time I tried.  I'm going to try and start using this space to record the minis I paint and games I play.

Right now I'm addicted to watching the Reaper Bones Kickstarter.  What a great deal.  the biggest worry is when will I have time to paint all of those Mini's

And there is still 7 hours to go

Reapercon 2010

It's only 12 hours away. Getting my stuff together to bring my army and my paint box so I can play and paint tomorrow. Looking forward to 4 days of games and paint. What more could I ask for.

Time for another catch up post

I really need to get more timely on posting. Since the last post I've tried out my army list twice. Once against Kragmar and got destroyed. The second time was against mercs and they held their own but the game was cut short so we called it a tie.

In painting I finished Chayya in April.



This week I finished the Dragon Turtle, Gaan-Hor Elder, 1 Spikeshell and the Longstriker. Finally starting to make progress on painting.
