Are my
terrible google translate titles hitting the mark?
I will be
honest this month was really touch and go for me, I was painting literally up
to the last minute, I’m sure the clocks going forward were to blame… but
seriously I had a business trip that lost me a week and some house renovations
that left me without a place to paint that wiped out another week. So it will
probably surprise some of you to learn that model count wise this month is my
highest so far!
However,
before you get too excited, I was only able to paint so many models because
12/13 of them were basically the same model, and simple ones at that. I present
to you my batch painted mono-pose archers:
You may
notice that these guys have the same style as my previously posted mounted
yeomen, this is to fit into the theme that I mentioned in a previous post; the peasants
all coming from Bertrand Brigand’s band of happy guys. To this extent they all
follow the same muted brown and green scheme seen on my yeomen.
These were
one of the last mono-pose figures GW released and I think it shows in their
design. I actually really like the models and being archers’ sort of fits their
ridged pose. It would be nice to have a few other variations than the two but
we can’t have everything. I’m thinking next month we may even see the unit’s
name sake.
Next up we
have the first of the characters, a damsel, or rules wise a level two wizard:
I’m thinking
that all of the royalty in my force will have variations on blue and gold,
starting with this lady. Sporting a deep blue dress with gold trim and white
veil/cloak. I am planning to carry something similar over to the Grail Knights when
I get onto them. I sort of ran out of time this month as mentioned above so she
was painted in a day. There are a few things I am not 100% happy with so I may
go back and touch it up at a later date.
This month I
am submitting:
121 - Level
2 Wizard (i.e. Damsel) on Warhorse
84 – 12x Bergerac
Bowmen
For a total
of 205 points.
Finally, since
we are now at the half-way point I thought it would be nice to show my progress
so far. This is definitely the most progress I have ever made with an army in
such a short period of time, the challenge is an excellent motivator and I am
already planning a force for next year should I be invited back!
Please let
me know what you think of my entry this month and if you have any tips for
improvement.
