The 13th Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge starts in 6 days and i've not painted anything for 3 months due to my shoulder injury. So I thought I'd have a practice, I was very rusty.
1st up 2 battalions of Royal Ecossais. These will form the superior troops in my imagiNation Scots 7YW army and 1 battalion can be added to French army if needed (there was only 1 in French army formed by exile Scots)
Unlike the rest of my Scots, these have European dress
I have bought a copy of 02hundred and as it takes place at night I thought I'd paint them in grey scale. These are the 2 simplest sentries (Wargames Foundry make nice sentry types)
The only colour is the helmet badge
Overall quite pleased, although the bases need more work
Also had a delivery of toys today, I really don't need anymore toys but Northstar were running a mystery box and mine had £82 worth of figs and paint for £45. There was only 1 pack I couldn't use, ironically 7YW Austrians. Otherwise loads of pulp, colonial and WW2 figs. Bargain
Good to see you back painting, and I hope you're feeling better Martin..? Looking forward to seeing what you've got lined up for the AHPC this year. Spookily, I've just bought 02 Hundred Hours too - perhaps we could set up a game over the webcam like we did Zombicide, as that would doubtless add to the Fog of War effect. Let me know if you're interested and we'll set up a game in the New Year.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great idea. We can work something out early in the new year, when I've had a play. Nothing worse that watching somebody read rules on zoom
DeleteExcellent. I hope to play a few games of the opening scenario myself over Christmas. Should be good fun.
Deletecool
DeleteWelcome back, glad to see you can do some painting….another mystery Box !!!!! Oh dear đŸ˜±
ReplyDeleteta, love a mystery box. This one was good, and even had a zombie camel!
DeleteSounds like a really good purchase from Northstar! I quite like the look of the "greyscale" miniatures too, a clever idea if gaming entirely in the darkness hours!
ReplyDeletecheers, most of my collections started as a mystery bag
DeleteWelcome back sir and great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you, congratulations on the blog anniversary
