Back to the Brushes 116

A beginning is a very delicate time...

The prepping has started for this year's Analogue Painting Challenge and here are the first figures waiting to be undercoated shortly.

Below shows thirty Gripping Beast Caesarian Romans that will form the bulk of a Basic Impetus army.


Need another dozen or so of these so will be in contact with Gripping Beast tomorrow to see if they are still available.

More to follow soon

Cheers for now.

Back to the Brushes 115

A couple of work in progress shots quickly taken this morning.

First up a Foundry Norman that is very near completion and to his left the Foundry Rat Catcher or Risk Taker move closer to the final colours. The far left corner shows four more Gripping Beast Vikings slowly getting coloured in; these will be for SAGA or similar.


With the Ratcatcher figure keeping to muted browns on the material as want to show the rats in blacks and greys. No real reason why it was just how the miniature started to come together.


Above is a Reaper fighter or cleric type that will be used as such in some form of fantasy based skirmish game in the future. Mostly armour on this one so hoping to finish up soon.

More work in progress to come shortly.

Cheers for now.

C Beams Glitter in the Dark 3

A set of objective markers from Critical Mass Games for use in the same.


The crew are standard heavy weapons from Ground Zero Games posing as technical staff. A better use of spare figures than the lead pile.



Some more finished figures to follow along with prep for the 7th Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge.

Cheers for now

Fury of the North 17

A couple of finished pictures of a bondi figure from Gripping Beast.



This figure will be part of a warrior group for SAGA and there are another 3 to follow that are in varying stages on undressat present so to speak.




Next up from this period will be a Norman from the Foundry/Citadel range. A great figure to paint with lots of character. Again there are another three to follow.

Cheers for now
