Having just bought the Gloranthan Guide (currently reading the PDF) I thought I should get my Gloranthan project under way again and I will use the Army Painter challenge to keep me motivated.
I painted up a few bits a couple of years ago for one of LPL's and my painting apart from the odd figure has pretty much stalled.
I plan to paint up several skirmish forces initially for a Mordheim style game in Pavis and The Big Rubble. I hope to develop these into small armies for the Saga rules.
The plan using figures I already own is
August
The Heroes, I already have a Beat Pot Aelwrin painted which I am happy with, so will be painting a new Jar-el, Harrek the Beserk, Gunda the Guilty, Griselda, Wolfhead and Hanufa.
I also hope to paint two Fenris Ducks and if I have time 4 Fenris Morokanth.
September
The Pirates, Harreks Wolf Pirates, currently 6 figures will get a few more to bring up to at least 10 and finish of their ship.
October
Lunar Forces, 10 provincial troops, 4 more Lunar Marines to add to the 6 already painted, and maybe a few others.
After this I have 6 more Fenris Broo to paint (Already painted 5 and the large Rhino Broo) various other creatures inc a Dragon Snail I have started sculpting; various adventurers, scenery and more figures to buy ~ Sartarites, Telmorians, Praxian nomads, more adventurers, a few more Fenris models inc. the forthcoming Trolls, Squidhead Fred....and lots more.
Sorry these are the only pictures I can find to give you a taste of what is to come.
A Rhino Broo

not a great photo but I really like Beat Pot at front of boat, but do not like Jar-el (the female) so am replacing.

Thanks everyone, for your encouragement, it exactly why I love this place. I hope you all keep me on track and nag me for updates (next one hopefully tomorrow night/Saturday Morning, just need to find my camera >:(
The Rhino is a great model, pretty large, i will get a comparison pick for next update. I will take new photos of the models shown on a neutral back ground so you can better see the paint jobs.
I am off for a couple off weeks so I hope to get a good head start so please nag me after Saturday evening for regular updates ;D
