Blog Imrahil's Paint and WIP log

I am a little slow on forum activity due to vacation with the family. This does not necessarily mean no hobby-ing: when in Namur I visited the GW with my kids and they liked what they saw.
This lead to a little painting clinic once back at home, Yesterday.

The youngest(4) had some help from me now and then ;)

Grrr, !mrahil
 
Yesterday I had time to play a game of Battle Companies with my eldest son(almost 10 years old)
This was his second game ever and he enjoyed it very much eventhough he lost the scenario.

He played the Last Alliance company (of which two models he had painted himself) and I played an Angmar force.

The scenario was Show of strength. I won by 1 extra kill for my leader. I killed most of his models, but in rolling for injuries he did just lose 1 warrior and gained D6 influence points with a recovering hero to spent on new recruitements. He rolled a 6! So he regained his warrior and an extra one.

I will now have to convert a warrior of Numenor to carry a bow.

Nice, simply but effective :D and now the paint job :cool::watching:

Also I love your Cave Troll. Always loved them from the movies(Also Mordor trolls) but I find them hard to get right in terms of colour and gradients. I found I wasn't happy with my (Mordor)troll until near the end when everything came together, until then it didn't really look right to me. For me I always find there is a point when painting a model that clicks and you get a "ooh, that looks good" feeling but that varies as to when model by model. :D

I have continued work on some long overdue Saurus Knights. All that is left is basing... applying my new style. So it takes a little more effort.

You must be handling your miniatures too often. You seemed to have completely worn off all the corners off of your square and rectangular bases. :eek:
 
Last Wednesday I picked up the miniature of the month: Freeguild soldier (Cities of Sigmar canon fodder) I created the base out of the sprue material.
At home I felt the urge to start painting him:

I am going for a color scheme based on the Excelsis scheme.
