Sylvaneth

 I have a small and growing Sylvaneth army for Age of Sigmar.   I'm using that army as a chance to get comfortable with the airbrush and making heavy use of drybrushing and washes.  Speed is the name of game with that painting project.

The big centerpiece is the Treelord.  This guy was not too difficult to paint, believe it or not.

 A few weeks ago I finished these Tree Revenants.  Back when Age of Sigmar was first released (after I got over the initial shock and annoyance), I thought the Stormcasts design was pretty cool, but it was the Tree Revenants that were the first new AoS miniature design that made me go "wow - those are awesome."  

Many years later, I bought and painted a box.   The end result is pretty nice, but boy these were a pain in the neck to paint.  So many little thin, spindly parts, and it was very hard to get to all the areas of the model.  And since these newer GW designs are weird multi-part kits that only fit together "one way", I struggled to figure out how to break them down and paint in sub-assemblies so I fit them together and paint them all at once.  

Anyway, here's a quick picture.  Not a great photo but good enough to document that I completed the unit. 

Probably the only unit of Tree Revenants that I will ever paint which is a shame because I really like the models.

2017 Year in Review

This post is a bunch of pictures of all the figs that I've completed over this past year (mostly).
I think I remembered them all.  If anything, going through the pictures made me realize that I was much more productive that usual.
This is probably not comprehensive and doesn't include all the scenery I worked on, but it's close enough.

In one case, there's a picture of a miniature that I completed 2 years ago (the giant), but never got around to taking proper pictures.   Noticeably absent is my Frostgrave Warband.  I finished the just under the wire on New Year's Eve, but had already taken pictures for the year. 

Note: This post is picture heavy.

Some London Bobbies for NPC's in In Her Majesty's Name.

French 10mm WW1

The old Warhammer Marauder Giant.  Love this figure.

Quick and dirty goblin tee-pee scenery from the Warhammer Fantasy Battle for Skull Pass boxed set.

Age of Sigmar Stormcast Prosecutor

The Lord Celestant. You can see he's not completed (bunch of details that I haven't finished yet), but he's good enough for the tabletop.

 Pictures got out of order a bit, but here's a closeup of the magnifying glass on the Inspector (sherlock holmes?)

 ...and back to the Prosectuors

The long-awaited Man O' War Bretonnian Fleet!  I've wanted to paint this fleet for so long (around 1994...)

 ...and back to the Prosectors...again...

 some 1/3000th scale Battle for Trafalgar ships.

Interrupted by Stormcasts again.  This time, the entire army.

Wizard for Warhammer (AoS, OldHammer, MidHammer, whatever)

War of Spanish Succession army is finally completed. This is a Dutch army for the United Provinces Grand Alliance.  6mm Baccus figures.
