Valhalla

Off to Farnborough's Valhalla show in the  morning with my eldest lad for a father's day treat. A nice smaller show. 

I haven't got s list of wants but hope to get a few bits and pieces. Maybe the Katy ambulance from Ice Cold in Alex.

Hobbits

I bought these Games Workshop hobbits  a good 15 to 20 years ago. They were undercoated and the majority of the painting done and then something else came along and took my fancy. They were placed in a box and there they remained unloved apart from the occasional peak until a few weeks back when I was looking for something else,

The movement tray was quickly knocked up using some thick card.

Thanks for dropping by.

Barbarians for Frostgrave

OK so I lied but in my defence I had painted these Barbarians up a few weeks back and then put them on a shelf awaiting a few more  figures to varnish. And then forgot about them.

I picked up a packet of barbarians from Battlezone miniatures at last year's Warfare. They're nice figures with good detail that paint up well.

Well that's it for now on the Frostgrave front. Thanks for stopping by.

Frostgrave - Lich and Apprentice

This will be my last lot of Frostgrave figures for a while (well at least until the next gnickstarter comes out).  
The Lich and his Apprentice were finished a few weeks ago but when it came to the varnishing the fronts were fine but the backs had the dreaded greying. So the backs had a repaint. And a re varnish but this time no greying.
As for the Death figure I don't recall where this fine figure came from but I've taken quite a liking to him. Thinking about it it might be from TSR.

As usual thanks for taking time to stop by.

Onwards and upwards.

Frostgrave treasure

I finished this load of treasure off last weekend but have only just got round to posting a pic or 3.

These were purchased at Colours last year but made it on to my paint desk a couple of weeks ago. They are from Ainsty Castings and were in a pack called treasure piles, 6 Radom pieces for a fiver.

Thanks for dropping bye

Frostgrave zombies

Just a quick post to show some Zombies I've painted recently. They came as part of the nickstarter and if I remember rightly they were from mantic games. Nice models with good detail.

As for the painting you will see that they have different shades of skin. This was down to not having painted Zombies before and a little bit of experimenting with the washes. The one on the bottom right had a vellejo flat flesh with a mixed games workshop wash of red and nuln oil black. The other two had a cote d'arms flesh and a mixed wash of drakenhof nightshade and bel-ta green. One more green the other more blue. 

I enjoyed painting these so I might have to get in to the Zombie scene !

Thanks for taking a look.

Frostgrave beasts

Just realised I've not blogged in April yet and even though I had a 50th and my son's 8th to celebrate I've managed a few bits of painting. 

Today's offering are a couple of snow trolls and some old games workshop snow cats from my lead mountain.

The snow trolls were washed with games workshop sepia but I was happier with the grey wash I used  on the snow cats. I remember that next time I'm painting white.

Right back to the paint desk had an issue with a new can of matt spray varnish and the backs of 2 Frostgrave figures. Now grey !

Thanks for stopping by.
