I started these a few weeks back on a whim. I’m average about 3 hours per 6ish strips.
Thanks Norm.
I finished up another two units this week. Three more to go, including some fun with flags, until I start basing them.
I finished another two units this week. All that’s left are the eight command strips, which I hope to finish next week along with the flags that came in for Tiny Tin Troops. Then I’ll get them glued to some bases and put in the flocking queue.
Nicely done. Left the command until last so the last painting tasks are less tedious and therefore more enjoyable?
I finished up eight command strips this past week for what I painted so far and got the Tiny Tin Troops standards on them as well. I’ve done some pretty fiddly conversion projects in the past and these are right up there with them. Between all the aligning, cutting and glueing they’re pretty involved. I like the effect though, they add a lot of character.
Thanks Andrew.
I finished another unit of Union Infantry. I based the other eight I’ve done at some point too but never took a picture. They need basing still.
Thanks guys.
Andrew, I glue two Baccus strips to a 20x15mm base with a magnetic base bottom stuck on it. Those will allow me to play Fire & Fury or Longstreet, where units are multi-stand. I’ve made 60×30 magnetic-receptive moving cards for them, which is how I’ll use them for Altar of Freedom or Volley & Bayonet.
I’ll likely fill between the strips, I think I can get a watered down wood putty in a syringe for easy of application. If that doesn’t work, then either air-dry clay, plasticard strips or bigger basing material.
The house is actually a Warmaster one produced by Forge World.
I finished painting another unit of Union infantry. I think my Civil War stuff will be my next big push as I want to run a small game at a local convention in April.
I’ve been slogging through a dozen units of 6mm Confederate infantry in preperation for a game I’ll be running at a local convention the first weekend in April. I’ve made good progress these last few weeks, getting the base colors and wash down, plus a few highlights.
I need to finish highlighting the grey and brown uniforms, the hats, bedrolls and wood. After that, I’ll do accessory cleanup, flesh and metals.
Thanks Darby.
I finally done painting the Confederate infantry. We’re not going to think about the skirmisher stands I want to do for them right now. I’ll be top coating and basing them tomorrow in preparation for a demo game this Saturday. After that, I’m hoping to knock out the artillery, characters and a unit of cavalry before the first weekend of April.
Thanks Darby.
This was a nice, quick win: Eight units of artillery all ready to go. Painting 32 infantry goes a lot faster than painting 288 infantry.
I also picked up AK Interactive’s Dark Mud for the bases. It’s easy enough to work with and has the added benefit of not needed any paint. It’s expensive but worth the convenience, I think.
The terrain’s been interesting. I’ve been shooting for low effort but good looking. The building has been over multiple sessions, which it at least makes it feel like it’s low effort.
I’ve been finishing up a bunch of odds and ends this week, getting everything ready for Sunday. All the bases have the AK Interactive Dark Earth on them, and I put the flags on the last of the Union and all of the Confederate infantry.
I also finished up the Union generals as well. I need to finish a single Confederate general for Sunday and the rest I’ll save for next week. Then maybe the skirmishers or back to the Steel Rift.
Thanks Darby, I’m looking forward to getting flock on everything.
I finished up the Confederate generals this week, and also cleaned up and primed my Union skirmishers. We’ll see how far I get with those in the coming weeks, there’s a Blood Bowl 7s games day in May that I need to paint a few more Orc positionals for.
