My focus for this week was to finish off the 8 KDM minis I’d started last week. Turns out I’d done the bulk of the work, and what was left was straightforward and just flowed. I had them finished just after lunch on Saturday, and then sat down with the airbrush to varnish them, and then prime and base coat the next project.
I manged to pick up a copy of Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion on ebay for a good price, with the MDF organisers in it recently. I painted up those 4 minis next. I thought it might take a while but I had all 4 done in a little over a day somehow. I’ve painted a lot of the core box minis and I’d have to say the JotL guys are a definite step up in quality. They were much better to work with. The one exception was the Demolisher. He feels like a guy who was designed at a much larger size and lost a lot of detail in the downsizing. He’s a lot of stuff in his belt in the art, but all I could se on the mini was lumps. Still, this isn’t a game about plastic. He’s keeping the costs down and focusing on the game and I appreciate that.
My copy is used. Does anyone know what needs to be rest? Just the characters or are there event decks and shops etc that I need to sort through? Google isn’t helping answer this and I’m not yet ready to sit down and read through the rules. I want to finish my KDM campaign before I start this.

Hatchet. I really like this mini.

Voidwarden. I wasn't brave enough to black/void up parts of this lady. I considered just spraying black from one side or dabbing black pigments on here, but decided whatever I did she'd just look a mess and I'd regret it. I like her as she is now.With them done, I got back to the last models on my desk who have been there for quite a while now: The orcs from my Loka Fire set. I don’t care about these guys. They may one day see use in D&D or something. They’re a basic design and I don’t care about them so they’re coming together really quickly, which is nice. I expect to have them ready for varnishing by the weekend. Then it’s time to build the rest of the KDM armour kits. I also have next week off so I might end up losing myself in KDM and getting very little hobby done. Any advice for facing the Gold Smoke Knight?
