Like the title says, about a week ago I finished painting up the hero quest expansion, The Jungles of Delthrak. Michelle and I actually painted this one together, which was a lot of fun.
A small caveat: we didn't paint the gem or fire, because Michelle really likes them as they are. And so they stay that way.
Either which way, that's two bingo squares!
Life: it gets busy. In mostly good ways, I should say, I've had lots of good times with family, I'm involved in the local production of Into the Woods, my job is going well. But it's busy, and I kept forgetting to update here. But now that changes!
Going to keep it simple for now, though. The main thing for today is another bingo square! In this case, it's the Paint a New Starter Set square. Now, I'll admit that it's not the biggest set of them all:
But it still counts! (It's the new beginner set for Age of Sigmar which I picked up on a bit of a whim)
I ended up going with a bit of a challenge for these guys, I decided to paint using (almost) only the six paints that came with the set. And I'm pretty happy with them! The bases and the wash are the only non set paints.
So that's the update for today. Hopefully there will genuinely be more soon.
I've had these guys painted for a while but I keep forgetting to post them! Stargrave crew!
I love the alien heads, the world needs more alien/non human sci fi miniatures.
And that means another bingo box! Wooo!
Just a brief one here, but I got them all painted!
Four archers, four slings, four axes, and a leader, and just plain fun to paint.
I did try some new paint things for them, so I'm counting this as that space for bingo. Hey, my bingo, my rules.
Rather, my niece and nephews had spring break, which was nice, because it meant that they could come up to visit and hang out and paint with their strange uncle! And thus we did.
We painted some hero quest figures, and my nephew brought up a few miniatures of his own (Tau and Necron guys, I believe) that he's been gifted. The ones pictured he painted, and he even gave them snowy and icy bases of his own design! A good time overall.
A few days later we got in a game of Fireteam, the Kill Team lite that I actually prefer. My second oldest nephew and I played, and the game ended in a tie. (There's a mechanism for settling ties, but we decided to leave it that way)
Fun times for all, and also two bingo squares. Though in this case that's the least important part.
It's been a bit again! Well, I had surgery, and I'm recovering well. Had some time once I was through the worst of post op unpleasantness to do some painting, so here's an example!
He's an ogre, from cursed city, I think, but also he was just a lot of fun to paint! And also he gets to count for a bingo square: paint a hero!
Game 3 of Necromunda, and this one was quite fun! My wife played Squats again, while I rolled out my Orlocks once more. Our gracious host set up a very impressive board, while playing GSC.
The goal this time was to grab some boxes from the center of the board, and then make a mad dash to the edge. I tried to keep a bit more focused on that goal this time, and it paid off, for the most part. There was a fun moment where my two gangers carrying two cases managed to both get hit by a grenade blast, which was fun. We had to wrap things up before the official end, and I was in the lead, but it could have easily swung the other way.
