u/db1811

pictures of the Huns I’ve painted recently, Gripping Beast metal miniatures.

Back to my painting roots tonight, finished off 8 and painted another 8 napoleonic Prussian reserve infantry.
Good to be back painting figures quickly to a tabletop standard again! Should have the last 20 painted by the end of the week. Wargames Atlantic plastics with plastic Perry command.

Another Heresy miniatures Death Ball figure, Boris the ref red carding a player!

Minotaur from Heresy Miniatures, alas poor yoric and all that!!! 🤣
Happy with how it turned out, although the hooves are perhaps a little too white 🤷‍♂️

Foot knights from Wargames Atlantic grand battle scale (13mm?) this is the first of my French units to use with Midgard (mini Midgard!) I added a 1p coin for scale. I’m pretty happy with how they came out!

Viking Shield Maidens from Bad Squiddo. Something a little different for my warband!

Bloodbowl Tomb Kings team so far, 4x linemen, 2x thrower, 1x blitzer, 4x Tomb Guardians. I’ll get the last 2 linemen and 1 blitzer painted next week. Glad to be getting through these, they’ve been sat assembled & undercoated on the shelf for months now so it’s nice to get them done!!

Bit of a change from my usual historical stuff! After months of sitting on the shelf looking at me I thought it was time I started painting the Tomb Kings bloodbowl team from the starter box.

They didn’t turn out too bad! Skeletons to do next!

Churchill to add to my British, now onto the support weapons!

First of the Russian infantry for the 1812 Retreat from Moscow rules from Pazoot. 28mm Perry metal figures. Should be able to get a game sorted next week with any luck!

First 3 Frenchmen I’m painting for use with the 1812 Retreat from Moscow skirmish rules from Pazoot. You only need 6 initially so I should get the last 3 done this week!!

A couple of plastic trucks from Amazon/Temu painted as generic German transports. Added some seated troops in the back which came from a warlord games frame I picked up ages ago!

Painted a few more WW2 British, some of the most dangerous things on the battlefield - officers with maps…..
A PIAT team, just so I can shout “Bring up the PIAT!!” And a banner - because all my bolt action forces have one and I’m a Napoleonic player at heart so miss a flag or two 🤣

Well that experiment worked!!
10 tabletop quality WW2 British infantry painted in an evening!
Now I’ve got that figured out I’ll get another 10 done tomorrow night and then finish the whole 36 man platoon early next week!
They’re a little rough compared to the Soviets I painted yesterday but these are plenty good enough for gaming!
I’ll get the bases done over the weekend.

Another four WW2 Soviet infantry painted tonight, I now have the first squad of 6 finished and will have the last 4 done next week.
Tomorrow I’m planning on working out a way to paint WW2 British infantry fast, by that I mean bloody quick - a ten man squad in an evening quick…

Normans on the prowl! Victrix Norman warband, really like the Victrix dark age stuff, I’ve got another 60 Vikings to do at some point as well!

Took a few pictures after filming a battle report for YouTube (@PaintsDB on there)

A couple of skeleton units with a necromancer on the march through a small hamlet!

28mm plastic skeletons from wargames Atlantic with hand painted shields.

28mm Soviet infantry from warlord, tried a different approach with these, no wash, just three mixed layers - dark, mid & light. Did an extra highlight on the rain capes. 8 more to paint and it’s Nice to do something different for a change.

Mixed bag tonight, 3x Norman crossbows and another banner.

Also got a Viking hut painted, not sure about the roof but it’s fine for gaming - I’ve got another 3 to paint sometime.

Had a copy of this waiting for me when I got home, looking forward to giving it a read over the weekend.
