You mean your only plan is to stand behind a few feet of mealie bags and wait for the attack?



Just put the finishing touches to the thin red line that is Brommedir's Bows and with that I have officially finished painting all the minis I need to play Bllodbath at Orc's Drift!



Sound the fanfare, beat the drum, cry Hallelujah and get busy with the fizzy - I'm done!!!

Of course there are a few recent acquisitions I'd pegged to replace some minis already painted up in various units cos I liked them better, and obviously I'll be painting up any of the other original character minis  if I can lay my hands on them before I get round to playing the scenarios - however as I am now in a position where I can play the damn thing this seemed as good a time as any to wrap the mini painting side of things up.


 


 
There are a few bits of terrain I need to get done yet - a lake, some more trees, bushes and fences, and a nice set of rubber river sections I picked up from the Magnetic Displays stand at Vapnartak earlier this year.

Should make a nice change from squinting down my brush at little lead men...

Oh nad mustn't forget the big group shot!

  3. Mr Thantsants - you, sir, are an extraordinarily fortunate man! Finishing any painting project is a mammoth effort. Completing such a momentous project as this - just spectacular.

    I submit my heartfelt congratulations to you - well done!

  4. I see now I've committed the horrendous crime of assumption there. Not very PC in the 21st century, I tell you!

    I have no idea what gender you are. I just assumed that a wargamer with the patience and determination to complete such a project was a man. Please accept my humble apologies, if you are not.

  5. Thanks all - very satisfying indeed!

    Mind you playing, photographing and writing up the scenario is going to be a bit of a mammoth task in itself!

    No worries Gaj - I am indeed a bloke!
