Of the three warbands that will make up my army for September this is
the first one that I at least have all the troops for now. I was so
excited about the Mounted Royal Guard that I forgot to mention that the
box also had two blister packages. One was Grimbold himself and the
other was his command; a horn blower and a standard bearer and they are
metal not Finecast!. That gives me 16 warriors that have all been
converted and primed white, Grimbold and his command which need to be
cleaned up and primed as well. I definitely won't start painting this
bunch until Grimbold and crew are primed and ready. I'll have an easier
time making everything match if I do that. I will also need to figure
out what type of conversions I can pull off on the metal miniatures.
Conversions are a tad bit harder with those than the plastics. I'll
probably keep it pretty simple.
Will look good!
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope so! Since I'm not the best player out there and I'm taking what many consider a weak army, I'm going all out to win the painting award.
DeleteYou're a tease Kris, this project is something to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of teasing myself with this one too. I'm keeping it close to my work area just to be sure I don't forget about it.
DeleteYou'll win the painting award Kris. There's not too many guys out there that are better painters than you.
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you! But you can never be complacent about these things and there are some really good painters in this area. I taught a bunch of them!
DeleteYou've taught them too well grasshopper. When the student exceeds the master it's a sign that the master has taught well.
ReplyDeleteThe lesson here is never teach them everything, always hold back critical tidbits of information!
