The not so magnificent seven

The manically productive month of March continues. Here are some undead which I have painted up as colour scheme testers (and for use in last week's D&D game). From left to right we have two Mantic ghouls, three metal GW ghouls and two Mantic zombies.

I don't have enough undead for a full army - just enough for a SoBaH warband and for use in D&D. The zombies and ghouls painted up really quickly so I might paint up some more at some point when I need some quick wins.

Currently on my workbench I have some assorted dwarves and some Hasslefree human adventurers (for D&D) but I'm also considering painting up my DreadBall Veer-myn. Decisions aplenty.

So long between updates

It feels like ages since I've had any painted models to show off so here are some pictures of some miniatures which left the workbench for the painted pile today.

Firstly the final two Draconicans.

Next up a LoTR Ent I picked up for £4 second hand.

And lastly some GW plastic skeletons I've had for the past 20 years and never got round to painting (until now).

And there's also a fresh batch of stuff almost finished too. How much more can I do before the end of the month?

Go team Marauders!

Continuing the current productive streak I can now show you my completed DreadBall Marauders team. I wonder if I can get all my season 1 stuff painted before season 2 arrives?

More paint on miniatures

All in all quit a productive day today. I've ticked off two more Reaper Bones miniatures;-

And I've also made a lot of headway with the Marauder DreadBall team too.

If things go well then I may even get the team finished in time to have a game next week.

And some more

And here are three more of the Draconians, just two more two go.

And here is a Reaper Bones elf. A very quick paint job to do.

Oops

Oops, I have just realised that I forgot to post up a picture of my customised turn counter. I painted up this chap the night before the Clash of Kings. He's the "Thinking Elf's General" from Mantic. At the moment you can only get him via the Mantic points rewards or in some of the larger army sets.

Thick and fast

Stuff is leaving my workbench and joining the painted pile at quite a rate at the moment.

First here's a cute little young red dragon. Its an old citadel miniature which I stripped and re-painted on a whim. I've always had a soft spot for this miniature even though I never could get the wings to stay on for long. Hopefully the pin I used will finally keep them in place.

And next up are three Ramshackle games Dungers which I've bought for use as Mawbeasts in my Goblin Kings of War army. I'm happy with how they turned out so I will paint up the rest soon.

The remaining Draconians are coming along too but they're not done yet.

March forth!

Well after a week of accounts paperwork and bad health yesterday was unexpectedly productive.

Firstly we have the DreadBall ref. In person she looks a lot nicer than the photo would suggest.

Next up we have Frodo. Poor little chap has been stuck on my workbench for a very long time waiting for me to get the inspiration to finish him. Yesterday I tidies him up, gave him a few highlights and set him on his way.

And lastly some D&D Draconians. I think I've had this set for almost 20 years so it really was time to put some paint on them, especially as they're getting used on a weekly basis in out D&D sessions at the moment.

Once I have the final batch of Draconians done then I might get round to that Marauder DreadBall team I was meaning to work on.
