Being a psychic demands skill, talent and an interest in amateur dramatics
I've been neglecting proper toy soldiers of late and doing nothing with my Stalingrad project which is pricking my conscience. I had intended to pick up some Winter Russians in the recent Elheim sale, but didn't get around to it. Work and family has just been so busy that I catch myself running both ways.
I really must clean up that base
The little bit of painting I have been doing has been for Blackstone Fortress. I've been tipping away at the figures for this, a little bit at a time - I've found that I can get one colour done sometimes in the mornings. The most recent effort have been some rogue Psykers - chaps that we haven't seen much of in the game as of yet, but they have a certain something.
I was quite pleased with how the glowing eyes turned out
"Dramatic? MOI??!?!?!"
I am quite pleased with how the glowing eyes turned out. I followed a tutorial from Guy at Midwinter Minis which I heartily recommend. It was a bit tricky at first, but I cracked it in the end.
Fur accents to ones frock coat are so this season.
This picture did not do it justice, but I am pleased with the depth of colour on the coat.
That's it for Joy & Forgetfulness at the moment, though I am looking forward to a game of Napoleonics at the weekend. Probably going to be Waterloo, because well, it's Waterloo and we have the pleasure of a visiting Mad Padre to entertain. Mike and Joy visited in what I hope will be the first of many trips. It was a real pleasure to make their acquaintance and they demonstrated admirable fortitude and patience in the face of a disgruntled Kinchlet.
I did discover, sadly, that our visiting clergyman is a raving Bonapartist. I hope we shall be able to teach him the error of his ways.
