Ride to ruin (February’s Snag a Normie Challenge)
T-minus 24 days - Basic Base
I tried to post this twice last night but my phone wasn’t playing ball so today there will be two posts.
As usual, Goblin Gaming managed to get the order out and at my door by the next day and DHL left the parcel in my safe place instead of giving it to a neighbour which leads to awkward stilted conversation eating into unboxing excitement.
Not going to lie, I was a bit concerned that the wall of plastic was going to be overwhelming but I had forgotten that LOTR minis are largely two or three pieces. Obviously this isn’t always ideal but given this project’s mantra is “think less, paint more”, it is perfect.
After separating out the sprues, I set to bases. I wanted these done at the start mainly to get them out of the way. Normally I make up a basing mix, ova it on the bases and then prime the minis and bases as one piece but that takes more time and effort.
For this project I added a tub of Games Workshop’s Stirland Mud to my order and in less than two hours managed to bash through all 84 bases. It used up a little more than two thirds of the tub so there is plenty for blending in once the miniatures are in their slots.
Stage one done. Next up I’ll be getting into the Warriors of the Dead
Time elapsed: 2 hours
