No New Minis July

Between Dominion preorders, some deals on Gargants, and just a bunch of stuff for Bushido: June freaking sucked for buying new minis.

I got a LOT painted but, uh, definitely more came in than went out by a factor.

So, time to get things back into balance. No new minis in July.

I tried this back in September, and was fully successful: I painted about 20 Crimson Fists and some Ambots and didn’t buy a blessed mini.

And really, I shouldn’t need any minis: I’ve got a lot on deck: Heavy Gear is on the painting table. I finally sorted out the last bit I need to wrap up my outstanding Orc models. I’ve got a stack of goddamn giants on my table and Dominion shows up this weekend. I should be good. Should.

Last night I started working on my Heavy Gear

I’d been a little down on my test model, but coming back to it after a month or so I’m feeling pretty good about it!

I’ve got a few models left that I haven’t touched here: infantry and an APC. Those guys can wait until I’ve actually played the game and have figured out how I want to base the infantry.

It Came from the Lightbox: Morats / OP@Home Painting Challenge

Two weeks/three weekends back I decided to do the Infinity OP@Home Painting Challenge to break a couple of slumps (Infinity models, getting anything finished) and here I am: done.

I don’t know that I chose well in choosing the list to paint: constraints here were models I had in-hand, fully assembled but unpainted that I could but into a list. It’s likely I could have chosen a list with fewer models. It’s certain I could have chosen a more viable list. The list I chose met the criteria, though, and seemed worth taking for a spin, at least.

Anyway, I’m done. Hopefully back to wrapping up these dang Skaven models and then on to the next project.

Saga Dice Holder

I got frustrated by all the different sets of Saga dice I have so I made a holder for them.

Each set gets a little tray

They’re magnetized so they stick together. There are some on the side so the max needed at any time can clip together.

And they slot and stick together.

I’ve been in a real slump with this Skaven junk, so I’m biting on the Corvus Belli OP@Home Painting Challenge.

This’ll get me painting my first Infinity models since the pandemic, and getting a W on the board. Then maybe I can return to these turkeys.

These guys are coming along slowly because I tend to think of project length in terms of calendar weeks, not man-hours.

Hopefully I’ll have them done this weekend.

Built these back when they first came out. Some impulse had me rebase them and start painting them.

Hoping to be done with this project for the time being this weekend. A little sick of painting Orcs. This is all that’s left.

This is all that’s been done so far.

I am so sick of painting Savage Orcs. Thankfully, this is the last of them (but for a few characters).
