About Me

London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

WIP: Alans #6

Gosh! It appears that Blogger has changed the post creation/editing screen to a new format. Oh well, let's see how this works, everything seems to be in the same place, just the look has changed.

Still suffering with my heavy cold, but it does seem to be easing off now, so fingers crossed for Salute on Saturday.

I managed to get the remaining painting done on the Alans, and they have received their Klear/ink coat and been glued onto their bases. This means that I should be able to add the basing gunk to these, the Sarmatian lancers and the Sarmatian command groups tomorrow evening.

After that I've got a massive job of work to do to finish the basing on all of the Sarmatians I've painted so far. This will include:
Dark brown wash over all bases
Dry-brush of basing texture to highlight
Flocking
Adding rocks and clump foliage
Matt varnish spray
Grass tufts


"That's all very well, but where are the photos of the Alans? We demand piccies!"

OK, you can put those pitchforks and burning brands down - here are the pics

    Great painted minis. I'm curious how it will look when they are based.
