The art of movement

Holidays and a flare up of my movement disorder have meant that I haven't made much progress since my last post. Due to the recent KoW kickstarter delivery I have loads of assembled miniatures in various stages of painting cluttering up my study. With the impending delivery of yet more Kickstarter swag I decided to have a bit of a tidy up and to that end I had a big session of painting up movement trays and magnetising everything so I could put stuff away in boxes. I'm not sure why but units look so much better when they are based nicely and on a matching movement tray. It took me all afternoon to do about 8 trays, slower than usual but my PNKD was bothering me at the time.

In other news I found some old orc crossbow miniatures when clearing out some storage a few weeks ago. I JPed (re-based) them yesterday and now they will be Orc Sniffs in my Orc KoW army.

I think I painted these over 10 years ago. They've been sitting around unused for a very long time. Its always nice to find new uses for old miniatures.

There wolves

Since my last update I have been deluged with miniatures from the Mantic Kings of War Kickstarter. There are still more to come later in the month but this delivery was pretty substantial - ogres, werewolves elves and lots of dwarves riding brocks. It is going to take a while to make a dent in that lot.

I made a start on the werewolves as they are nice miniatures and easy to paint up. Last night I had this many painted:-

And this morning I added these as well.

Not bad going really. :)

I have two more ready to paint up and another 6 coming in my next delivery from Mantic. I guess this means I'm starting an undead army.

I've also been working on the brock riders and here is a WIP shot of one of the brocks.

I think they'll look really nice when I have them all painted up.
