Other hobby stuff I’ve been working on:

– Got my Middenheim force more or less rolling from a painting perspective. Planning on just chain-painting the whole bunch at once. As I’m planning on using an AP dip should be able to get away with just base colours without highlighting at this stage so shouldn’t be all that bad… Progress as of Friday:

Getting the printer fixed on Saturday was a major roadblock removed – can now print more bases etc for all the old minis I’m restoring/scratchbuilding (I’ve been stealing bases form one kit to make another, now I can just make what I need instead).

Also, as mentioned in an earlier post, stripped, repaired/restored and primed a bunch of old and/or second hand minis.

My High elf sea Patrol now stands at 2 blocks of 15 seaguard, a block of 10 marines, 2 units each of 6 shadow warriors and a leader (plus 2 boats and a dragon but he’s not there…). So just need either one or two mages and then this is a reasonably fieldable force.

For the Chaos guys (and this might be my paintathon project),  I’ll be looking at adding the following for each of the gods:

Tzeentch will get 2 more characters (one on foot and one on a flying burny-disc of spikes) and a block of 6 knights.

Nurgle will get 5 warriors (to top up an existing unit of 10), 14 warriors with command and a champion to go with, a chariot, a unit of 6 knights and single extra knight to beef up an existing knight unit to being 6 strong.

Khorne will get 14 warriors with command, 2 commanders on foot, a unit of 6 knights, a single knight to be the 6th in an existing unit, and an additional 2 blocks of 5 knights. Plus 4 more marauders to push an existing unit up to 20 strong.

Sounds like Tzeentch isn’t getting much love but there are plenty of daemons set aside for them later on, plus a box of wargods of Aegyptus minis I picked up nigh on 10 years ago which I plan to use to make a 15 strong unit of Tzeentch Chosen.

So I shouldn’t be short of stuff to do 🙂
