Sloup pics part III

The Sloup part II

The Sloup is back...

Restarted on the sloup project and now its well on  the way.

Chewbacca

From E-Bay, they came.

Go some Pegasus Knights from E-bay in my mailbox today. They where very well painted but they didn't match my color schema.So a quick respray with Furybrown and some new paint was in dire need. 

BTW all the flybases where broken of, but no harm done. Easy to fix. 

Before respray

   

W.I.P. 

Other progress:

16 Men At Arms done but not on bases 

12 Peasant Bowmen in the making. 

4 Warhorses done

You can never have to many rubberbands.

Men at Arms Bretonnian

The first four fully painted Bretonnians, I'm aiming for the dark and dusky colors. 

Yes I know the quality of the images sucks...

The Bretonnian Battalion box dropped in yesterday

Now i just finalized the last of the purchases on Ebay and picked up a battalion box at Alpaspel.se  200 skr cheaper  then Games Workshop. So now I think I'm all set for now.

Now its some serious panting time.

The heap of plastic parts is enormous...

  

Bretonnian WIP - Shields in the making.

Well I have started paint some shields for the Bretonnian Knight of the realm.

Just some highlights missing

Needs a bit more work :)

Bretonnians - on the move !

Got my self a box on Knights of the realm today from the Games Works  shop.

The plan was to get either the Men at Arms or the Peasant bowmen kit, but none of them was available in the GW store. Only on mail order as it seams. So I got the KOTR kit instead. Perhaps Ill get my self the battalion box later on. But not from GW they are a bit expensive... I can get for about 100 skr less from Alphaspel.

Well all the horses is built and half of the knights as well. More work then I remembered. The on to painting. 

Planing to paint it in sections.
Horses: 

First the animal parts and then pair up the knight and horses and paint the barding and knight at the same time one pair at the time.

After that paint the shields and the shields on the bardin. Ofcourse I will paint the shields on freehand.

Got some new miniatures today - Swedish Armed Forces midwar 1930.

Got some new miniatures today, fresh out of the molds. 15 different miniature, 2 officers, 1 SMG and 12 soldiers. The soldiers have 4 different poses and 3 different heads/hats.

I have only had a short opportunity to look at them but I do like what I see.

Well sculpted and  well cast.
More information about where to get the will come.

A hint to my next SAGA Warband

The SAGA Continues Chapter 3: Scots

Here are the first WIP pics from my 3:d SAGA project.

Warlord - Will be based with a small suprice.

  

One of the 8 Herth Guards 

More WIPS will follow stay tuned.

The SAGA Continues - Scots

This Friday a small pack of minies from Gripping Beast ended up in my mailbox.
Some Scots, 25 of them to be exact, they are now washed, mounted on bottlecaps and primed, well 17 of them anyhow. The last 8 will have to wait, all out of caps at the moment.

The minies are well casted, none or little work with the file, the only thing I reacted of was the large hands on the minies.
We are talking some serious sized hands here.

The plan is to have the painted buy the end of this week.

The shields will be the main focus of this one.

The 40k then?

Well I have been doing some reading and thinking, I'm still not sure about that. Its fun to paint but I don't know if the playing is for me. Have 6 more minies to complete of the first 10 and then we will see what happens.

   

Gray Knigst the first unit...

Here are some pics of the first GK painted for my 40k projekt.

3 out of 4 GK finished.
More pics will follow...
Enjoy

The shit has hit the fan... Warhammer 40K is back on the menu boys.

To day I did something that I never thought that I ever do again...

Got my self some 40K miniature to start play 40k again. 

I have to jump back on the train, the majority of the gaming society in my vicinity has passed over already, to the DARK side. 

Come to us we have cookies, that's what they say anyhow.

A box of Gray Knigt is bought from GW, just to try it out, if it sucks to paint then  Ill just put them out on Ebay...

Claymore Castings

A few days ago I decided against my better judgment to order some more minies, I have plenty and don't need more minies.
I decided to checkout the Claymore Castings range of Medieval minies, not that I have any project for them, I just wanted the Archers, but anyhow.

Today I got them...

8 well casted miniatures whit little or  no casting flesh, high quality and great details. The only disappointment was the fact that I only ordered 8 of them, 16 would have been better. Well that Can be fixed can it not...

Still don know what to use them for but 16 is better then 8 and 8 is better than none.

Pics and updates will follow.

Some new orders... Gripping Beasts and Claymore Castings gets a chance.

Just did some new orders from Gripping Beasts and from Claymore Castings.
Was planing to go Bretton in the next saga project but they was a bit to much like the Normans I painted earlier so I decided to go all foot, just to get a completely different warband all together.

I also wanted to try out the Claymore Castings minies just because I lite them, I have no project for them but I'm a sucker for bowmen and, longbows, so Ill just paint them and see where to go with them.
Claymore is fairly new on the market so it will be fun to see what they can do, hoping for the best.
Their website is neat and far of better then many other and they take PayPal, that is a big plus for me.
