Well here we are again, another week has sped by, I had great ideas
of what I would have completed this week but choosing a bunch of
highly detailed figures put and end to that. I had another entry
I was about to take the photos of when my wife popped in and
said you can't submit that it needs to be on a proper base to set
the scene so it is now sitting on the desk uncompleted.
Of course she was right.
First up we have a 3D printed Aztec sacrifice set from Wargame Atlantic
This was a really fun paint, the minis are so detailed, these will be added to
my slowly growing collection of Aztecs
This is my favorite shot, I sent this photo to a friend without thinking
that he had just informed me that the valves in his heart were shot,
He found my picture a bit to much I'm afraid
I used blood of the blood God by Citadel paints which comes out so good
Next up This French Napoleon set by Perry Miniatures
I had way to much fun painting these Chaps, they are great sculpts
with tones of detail hiding on them.
Millsy told me I had to get a shot of the map because at one stage
I thought I had really messed it up while we were on our painting chat
Finally we have 12 Napoleonic French lancers by Perry Miniatures
they are some of their meatal range once again I found that I was
enjoying painting these guys so much that I found it hard to stop adding details
One thing I wasn't looking forward to was making the pennants
for the lances, then I saw that Piano Wargames have free files for Flags
and one of those had pennants on them so I printed them
out repainted them to the correct colors and hey presto we have pennants
This is the first time I have painted this unit, not sure why I've
not venture into painting lancers before they are so nice to paint.
I have placed 12 more of them into the painting queue, they will be
Front Rank not Perry and I have also put 12 Guard lancers on the table,
so lots of pointy sticks to come.
I don't normally paint all the horses the same but sometimes
with these Nappy Regiments it just looks right.
And with that we come to points for this week
First up 6 x 28mm Aztecs @ 5points each =30pts
crazy skull thingy (should have entered the skull challenge) 28 skulls = 5 pts no idea ?
28mm Napoleonic staff set 6 figures and table 5points each =30 pts table 2pts ?
12 x 28mm French Cavalry 10points each =120 pts
Total 187 pts maybe
From Millsy: Another cracking collection of Napoleonics from you Kent. The Ogre of Europe and his lackeys are particularly good and a fitting centrepiece for any collection. I presume that's the map you were painting during the chat? It has certainly come up a treat!
Aztecs are not something you see a lot of, possibly because it makes for rather one-sided gaming if Europeans are the adversary? Sets like this are a good opportunity to dip you toes in though and you've really brought out the horror with your brushwork. The skull rack is a nice touch and one I am sure Barks will appreciate.
The skull rack and hand painting on the map deserve a few extra points so I've rounded you up to 190 mate. Nice work!
