Morning all! Hope everyone’s had a good weekend so far and that all tummies are full of chocolate eggs (if you’re into that sort of thing…).

@robert cheers I’ve been meaning to grab some more canvases and do up a bit of a better job on the scenery backers for the tabletop – current ones work well for screening bookcases etc in background photos but will need a few more if I’m going to add any real estate by way of an extra boars or two to the tabletop – something else leftfield on the hobby project list I guess 😉 Sounds like the arab force will be properly versatile – great to hear. Wow, retro armour! that packaging looks mid-1990’s? The siege game was primarily to test the siege rules – I think I’ll need to do a substantive rework before using them in a proper scenario. 30 points.

@tuffyears nice mix of blue and green tones for that spectral look! best of luck stalking the waves 🙂 20 points.

@dawfydd Nice to hear you have a strategy in place and can recognise when it’s time to put a project down and come back to it when the energy levels are a little recharged. I personally tend to miss the warning signs, grind on through and regret later 😉 Nice score on the dreadnaught. I’m always fascinated by what’s going on on the background shots on your paint desk – larger projects just don’t seem to phase you 🙂 Nice haul on the golden oldies! some amazing looking classic ins in that lot! Just eyeballing the photos there’s probably enough for a few Mordheim warbands or maybe the core of a small Nuln Empire army. Do you still have the shields for the Bret Foot Knights? One of those would make a lovely project for the Spring Cleaning challenge… just sayin 😉 40 points.

@horati0nosebl0wer will add it to the list. Presently working through the excellent Civil War series from 1990 (and wanting to get stuck into my ACW historicals as a result), and Frontier (and wanting to do some French indian war as a result) so concerned if I push on with Kingdom it could lead to a Korean army. And an Undead army to boot 🙂 20 points.

@mage hope the overtime shift goes well and that you’re not burning yourself out 🙂 Yeah painting’s like that – I find when I paint it looks like a lot of work on additional layers for no visible improvement and then suddenly the whole model comes together. Enjoy the quiet time and keen to see how you get on. No pressure mind you, take it at your own pace 🙂 20 points.

@woldenspoons ooh tourney! Nothing like a deadline! I guess if you prime in black then you are a good way there to begin with. Can then just do detail passes and pick out the colours that are going to give the most impact in the next couple of days. Best of luck pushing on, try not to burn yourself out (you don’t want to be sick of the army before you get to deploy it 🙂 ). 30 points.

Yesterday worked on the 30 Knights of the White Wolf that are kicking around on my paint bench and assembled a box of 12 Fireforge Mounted Sergeants. Two of these I’ll keep aside for huntmasters for my cult of Ulric army, the remaining 10 got split into a unit of 5 with spears and a unit of 5 with bows (had to raid my Agincourt English historicals a little for parts…). Going to do these in reasonably generic paint scheme so that can be used as historicals or pull double duty as mounted yeoman in a Bret WHFB army. At least that’s the plan…

Also weighing up the pros and cons of jumping in on the Spring Cleaning project, but just conscious that work is about to get insanely busy for a few months so might let this one go…

Off to find some non-chocolate eggs. and more coffee 🙂
