Cheers

Day 13...

It only took me a couple of days to build these guys which is much quicker than the spears so hopefully I can speed up the painting a bit and recover a bit of time...hopefully...fingers crossed...

Thanks guys!

Day 15

...these guys seem to be going quicker than the spears but I'm not sure thats gunna help enough for me to catch up, as we are in the 3rd week of Jan and this is still only the 2nd unit. Hopefully I can finish these guys this week and build & start painting the 2nd unit of spears. If I can do that then there is a slim chance I might be able to finish them and get the 2nd unit of archers done next week. That would then leave me with a 3rd unit of spears as well as the leader and their bodyguard to go...its gunna be tight.

The rules get released a week on Sat and I'm looking forward to seeing them as i am starting to get a real 4th ed WHFB vibe from what I've seen.

Day 16

A quick update on last night's progress. Unfortunately I noticed that somewhere along the line one of the arrows has snapped...somewhat annoying...doh! It's not quite hanging off but it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't fall off soon. I'll try and glue it but we will see...

A big(ish) update for Day 19. Archer unit 1 first...

Now a group shot!

I realised the other day that once I finish this warband I will have painted more minis already in 2019 than I did in 2018

I'm still behind but I've already started building the 2nd unit of spears and I'm hoping to catch up this week...fingers crossed...

Day 20 update...

Spear unit 2 is built and I am much happier with the leader's head this time...the first spear leader kinda looks like he's checking the floor for dog turds.

I will be undercoating them in a mo so I can start painting them tonight.

After some harrowing months in middle management I'd say thats what low level management is all about.

Jokes aside though you're making impressive progress, especially with white as a significant part of the colour scheme.

Thanks Munindk!

Day 21

These guys do seem to be progressing quicker...

Day 22

Fingers crossed I can get these done by Thurs...not sure I will get the 2nd archer unit finished this week...

Even if you don’t reach the goal, you will have accomplished something. Keep up the good work.

Great work, but one thing has been nagging me as I looked at your painted archers and spearmen. Are you really married to the idea of bright white spearshafts and bows? I can almost see it as working for the spearshafts, but the bows in bright white are kind of off-putting to me. Is there a reason you rejected the standard wood color?

Bloggard · « **Reply #29 on:** January 24, 2019, 07:09:33 PM »

think the pics (finished anyway) have been taken with a flash - which will have accentuated the whiteness to a degree?
