About Me

My photo
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).

Challenge - Gripping Beast Vikings Update

Don't forget my Prize Draw!


The Vikings are almost finished. All that's left to do is:
Highlight metals (armour and weapons)
Final dry-brush of basing texture
Shield designs
Klear coat (no ink - I've done washes already)
Matt varnish spray
Tufting & flocking

With a little bit of luck I'll have them completed by Saturday afternoon. But here's a WIP pic, to keep you going:

    I love the colours - Dark Ages figures can be a bit dull at times I find. A bit of colour livens them right up!

    The Tamisin painting machine in operating at full steam!!!! I've got your figure almost done. I decided to make you a Mistress of The Bow. And yeah, you're bodacious :)

    Thanks all!

    @ JamesB - not much done that day, the pics show them after a couple of days of painting sessions.

    @ Paul - I like to have some colour in my Vikings

    @ Anne - ooohhh! I'm soooo looking forward to seeing my figure for your story. Mistress of the Bow eh? :)

    Good work, progress and tip as well, Tamsin! You made me realize I need to do a clear coat on my Saga figs before they get beat up on the tabletop. Also, doing the basing first worked out well. I'm going to give that a go in my next batch.

    Good luck in the Great Race!
