One of the big positives of keeping a productivity blog is looking back at how much you’ve achieved over the past month. Obviously that swings both ways, and some months I’ll reflect and think “is that it?”. But September has been quite fruitful for me.
I did this trio of Chaos baddies. The beastman and archer were old Battlemasters miniatures. The multi-limbed champion is by Knightmare Miniatures.
I’m always banging on about the Oldhammer aesthetic, and that prompted me to do a roundup of Oldhammer Miniature Companies I’m aware of.
Another company with a great old school aesthetic that I like to buy from, are Midlam Miniatures.
I needed some additional fighters for my village militia units. More on that a bit further on.
Oathsworn are another miniature company I’m a big fan of. Here’s a Starling Rogue that I painted up.
This Plague Apothecary (from Warmonger) is a miniature I’ve had for a while, and finally got round to slapping some paint on it. I’m trying to get better at big smooth flat areas (like capes and coats).
I’m not 100% happy with it, but practice and progress beats perfection every time.
This Lovecraftian horror is another Midlam miniature. A really cool little figure.
In terrain news, I found this standing stone I’d “made” as a kid (circa 1995). I very nearly threw it out, but then decided to give it some TLC.
A bit of a zenithal priming and some Citadel contrast paint had it looking much better in no time.
Seems to work pretty well on the battlefield, and makes a nice addition to my terrain collection (with added nostalgia factor, too!).
It was a big month for movement trays. I bought a pile of these ‘Infamy Mob’ trays from Warbases.
I like the way they house units that wouldn’t look quite right formed up into neat, organised regiments.
I now have 2 completed village militia units.
These guys are a mixture of goblins and snotlings.
Whilst these are exclusively snotlings. They’re from the old metal blister packs where they were all meant to be based on the same little square, to act as a swarm in Warhammer or 40k.
Here’s the classic Krell miniature leading some modern-day GW skeletons into battle.
And more modern-day GW miniatures – this unit of Chaos Marauders I’d finished up last month. I have 10 more still to paint, and those will form up a second regiment.
And that’s about it. As I say, not a bad month looking back on it. I’m starting some new projects but I’ll save those for my October update. In the meantime, what have you been up to? Fire a comment and a link down into the section below. As ever, I’d love to take a look!
