The donkey has had most of his base colours done and some washes for shading. He needs some highlighting and detailing, as well as basing to be complete. Got to repaint the sash on the helmet he's hauling to gold as well, and hoping to make his coat dappled grey:<br />

Hopefully will get some more work done on him soon. It has been a bit hectic lately, as I've got a mini me coming soon! Haven't had much energy for painting (or much else either)! Stay tuned :-)<br />

My high elf army will be mainly female, with lots of troops from Avelorn to follow the Everqueen into battle. There will, of course, be some supporting troops from Tiranoc and Chrace, and maybe a dragon or two. But the bulk of the army will be made up of units of Sisters of Avelorn, maiden guard figures as Spearwomen, units of female archers, and also some converted Ellyrian Reavers (using Sisters of Avelorn heads and torsos). There will also be an Everqueen Chariot and a battle standard bearer on unicorn or pegasus (or both, since I can't seem to decide!) - looking forward to putting these together!Romihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11942140685008385079noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2690635670199695106.post-59585830579006225912015-08-06T14:19:00.001+10:002015-08-06T14:19:55.784+10:00WIP: Hobby room!I've not really done much in the way of painting lately, for various reasons too numerous to list, but here's one of them: renovations! And why is that exciting? Because we are turning our old outdoor (freestanding? As in, not attached to our house ...) studio into a hobby room!<br />

Hopefully this will lead to increased productivity on the hobby side for both of us!</div>

Dark and light backgrounds to get a better idea of the colours. Not the best pictures in the world, but good enough for a quick update! Will post better pics when it's finished.</div>

Most recently I picked up these two off a Facebook forum. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I also came across a High Elves army book I hadn't seen before at CanCon, which seems to have completed my collection of High Elf army books! I really must post some pictures and find out if there are any others ...</p>
<p dir="ltr">Looking forward to flicking through all of these! </p>

<br />
I'm particularly happy with how her hair turned out:<br />

<br />
Just thought I'd do a quick post about my new Facebook page <span style="color: purple;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/PegasusPaintbox">Pegasus Paintbox</a></span>. I've decided to put up some examples of my painted work on Facebook, and maybe start including some "on my painting table" WIPs as I try to make more time for painting this year!<br />
<br />
I know I've said "the year of the brush" a couple of times before, but this is definitely IT!<br />
<br />
Check out the page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PegasusPaintbox">here</a> and "Like" it while you're at it! :-)<br />

Found quite a few things I've been looking for, but I'm particularly excited about these!<br />
<br />
Morathi on Dark Pegasus: I've been after this one for a conversion I've been wanting to do for my Wood Elves. I only need the body for my conversion, so I'm busily thinking of ideas on how to use D-Peg ... got a couple already! Let's see how we go ...<br />
<br />

<br />
High Elf Pegasus: VERY happy indeed to have found this one! I've already got two of these pegasi but I could never find a complete model that didn't also break the bank (the rider and throne are next to impossible to find alone as well)! This one is going straight into the Simple Green tub when we get home!<br />
<br />

Not much of an updated, but seeing as my Flintloque troops haven't seen much progress in recent months and I've finally managed to put some time into them, here's a WIP:</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/Painting_Princess/Flintloque/20150111_182836.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/Painting_Princess/Flintloque/20150111_182836.jpg" height="140" width="320" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Highlighting on the yellow all done, which I'm quite happy about! There's also a dwarf mini who freelances for Schnoselburg, who is almost finished ... I'll post up a pic of him soon as well.</div>

More pics to come soon of the finished minis ☺</div>

It was quite fun and utilised my crafty side, which I haven't used in ages!<br />
<br />
Here are some pics of the process. It's a very simple deck - there are 5 "Rewards" cards, 5 cards that appear only once and 20 cards that are duplicated in the deck, all labelled so it's easy to work out which one's which:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/Painting_Princess/imagejpg1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/Painting_Princess/imagejpg1.jpg" height="156" width="200" /></a> <a href="http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/Painting_Princess/imagejpg1-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/Painting_Princess/imagejpg1-1.jpg" height="120" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/Painting_Princess/imagejpg1-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/Painting_Princess/imagejpg1-2.jpg" height="149" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
They're just printed on paper and glued to coloured card, then slipped into some deck protectors to make them easy to shuffle. You could laminate them too, I guess, but I always find that laminated things tend to stick to each other ...<br />
<br />
The finished product:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wood Elf armyI've been collecting wood elf figures for some years now and haven't gotten around to putting much together. I think I've assembled some dryads and a couple of glade riders ...<br />
<br />
However, I recently picked up a box of Wildwood Rangers (incidentally, also a box of Eternal Guard) and here are the beginnings of the first line:<br />
<br />

Yes, I know the musician is missing an arm! Have you ever tried to whack on those one-handed giant axes? Not musician friendly. Anyway, he will probably end up with a sword in his other hand. Looking forward to putting together the rest and moving onto my Sisters of Twilight model I've been wanting to work on for ages!<br />

<br />
There are lots of free miniatures to be added to the core bundle and some fantastic add-ons if you increase your pledge by various amounts. Here is a look at a couple of miniatures included in the core bundle (obviously they come unpainted):<br />
<br />

<br />
And here is the link to the <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/823962857/dark-sword-miniatures-new-range-stephanie-law-mast/">campaign</a>. The campaign has already reached and surpassed the initial goal, so you're guaranteed the core bundle plus all the free minis and add-ons (additional $$) unlocked so far!<br />
<br />
Anyway, that's my plug. Normally I don't go for these campaigns, but I really love the miniatures in this range!<br />

This hotel will accept all kinds, from ogres to hounds, as you can see from the two-door entrance, which caters for all-sized guests!<br />

I still need to tip off the loose rocks and do another layer of them, but it's still drying. Left to do are the windows and maybe some sills and shutters, as well as the rest of the rendered bits and rock border along the bottom of the entire building. Oh, and the roof!<br />

<br />
A couple of them have broken spears and obviously quite a few of them have a date with Mr Simple Green tonight, but now I have HEAPS OF MAIDEN GUARD!! Now comes the epic decision of whether to have one massive unit or two. They'll be standing in as "Spearmaidens" (core troop choice) when I play with them, seeing as I don't particularly want to convert them to use halberds or something and become a "counts as" unit of Phoenix Guard or something. ... I have enough command figures to have two full units, but I'm also looking to make a couple of conversions with the spare minis. Hmm ...<br />
<br />
Also in the mail today, another <b><span style="color: purple;">M</span></b>arauder unicorn!<br />

Love this sculpt, which I've purchased previously together with the HE Sorceress (also Marauder). Since I didn't expect to like the full miniature, I had planned on using the unicorn for a Wood Elf conversion. It's growing on me, though, so the sorceress might get to keep her mount while I use this other one for the conversion. Then again, I recently found ANOTHER conversion that I'd like to attempt that also requires a unicorn ... Decisions, decisions!<br />
<br />
Or maybe I just need a third unicorn?<br />

He'll shortly have a scruffy friend joining him. I want to see if I can have a few different types of dogmen in the jager unit ... they seem a ragtag bunch already!<br />

She's a hard one to come across at a decent price, especially still in the box!<br />
<br />
I also got a couple of new maiden guard figures for my ever-expanding units(s)(?) in my parcel today, and an OOP wood elf sorceress that I believe is the rough equivalent of today's "Spellsinger" or "Spellweaver".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/Painting_Princess/The%20Princess%20Diaries/DSC00877.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/Painting_Princess/The%20Princess%20Diaries/DSC00877.jpg" height="266" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This is a pretty interesting conversion using the wood elf sorceress that I came across today:<br /><a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/235024-Spellsinger%20on%20Unicorn.html">Spellsinger on Unicorn</a> ... I quite like it, so I'm wondering if perhaps I shouldn't have two of these!? Hmm, there's food for thought ...<br />
<br />
I think I will be giving my Ariel a bit of a nose job, though, as she appears to me to be wearing too unpleasant an expression for a faerie. I feel she should be serene-looking ... I know she's not considered the nicest of sculpts from GW, but there's something about her that appealed to me and I wanted one.<br />
<br />
I did see one version of this mini (<a href="http://www.coolminiornot.com/163810">this one on CoolMiniOrNot</a>) that seems to have had some nose-work done - or, perhaps it's just the way she's painted - and she looks quite nice. In any case, I don't think it can hurt to give her a bit of a makeover! We'll see how she turns out ...<br />

So it's not looking likely that I'll finish all my rank and file minis, but I will definitely try to finish at least the remaining musketiers (and one pikeman!?).<br />
<br />
Here are some crappy progress pics - most base colours on the musketiers. Will take some nicer ones when they're finished:<br />

The black undercoated figures are another officer and a new addition to the jager unit. I <i>have </i>actually finished my first jager, and pics of him will be coming soon!<br />
<br />
After this, I still have a few grenadiers to go. They'll likely join my March painting goals list, which will also include some civilian and character figures.<br />

Unicorn! OOP! OOP!In addition to the hoard of stuff I won in that eBay lot from my previous post and another one from this morning (yep, that's right!), I had ordered this figure about two weeks ago for a conversion I am going to make, and it just arrived:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/Painting_Princess/High%20Elves%20army/DSC00860.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w414/Painting_Princess/High%20Elves%20army/DSC00860.jpg" height="245" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
It's the same Marauder Pegasus as the one in the lot I won yesterday, which I'm happy about, since it has no barding so that makes it easier to convert without having to "re-brand" it from its original army. This one will become a Pegasus-cross-unicorn - simply because the idea appeals to me - and have a maiden guard rider.<br />

<i>Maybe</i> I will start working on this on the weekend. After all, I'm supposed to be working on my Dogmen for Flintloque, too! Will see how I go :-)<br />
<br />
I also received this OOP Sorceress on Unicorn in the mail the other day, mainly for the unicorn, though the sorceress is pretty nice as well:<br />

This unicorn will be for a Wood Elves conversion ... stay tuned to find out what it is! ... and the rider will probably end up on a horse or something. I won't post any hint as to what the conversion will be, as it's not likely to be happening any time soon :-P<br />

Chariots galore!VERY excited to have just won an eBay listing for some OOP High Elf stuff! Among other things, the lot contained some maiden guard figures (awesome for rounding out my growing MG collection ... hmm, might have to split them into two units!), a metal Dragon Princes standard bearer and a HE Pegasus (as seen below)!!<br />
<br />
I was excited that it seemed to include the rider, though was missing the throne/chair, but it was a Prince Tyrion model. Not to worry, though, as I'm sure I can pick the throne up somewhere eventually and am pretty certain I can almost exactly convert the Prince Tyrion (since I think I've already got him!) into this Pegasus knight (and by "I", I mean my husband haha!):<br />

Last night I also picked up this old Tiranoc Chariot from 1997 on eBay as well:<br />

Lots of excitement in the High Elf camp! So far, I have acquired 5 chariots - all (technically) different! So, my army will include:</div>

<ul>
<li>Metal High Elf Tiranoc Chariot 1997 (pictured above)</li>
<li>Metal High Elf Tiranoc Chariot 1993 (?) (pictured below)</li>
<li>Plastic HE Tiranoc Chariot (current) from games Workshop</li>
<li>Plastic Lion Chariot of Chrace (current) from Games Workshop </li>
<li>SPECIAL Everqueen Chariot (which will be a conversion from the current plastic GW kit and will feature the OOP Alarielle the Everqueen figure along with 1 or 2 of her maiden guard as charioteers!)</li>
</ul>

Very excited, as I never thought I would enjoy High Elves this much. To be honest, seeing the mass of rank and file troops on game tables in Games Workshop never really inspired me when it came to High Elves, even going so far as to say they were boring. But with the discovery of older, more charismatic figures, it is fast becoming one of my favourite races for Warhammer!</div>

We’ve been busy the
past couple of weeks putting some things together for a game of Flintloque, but
on Sunday we decided to have a little test game. The board wasn’t even A4 size,
but it was great for a three-on-three scenario. Here, the Dogmen of the Royal
Guard of the Free State of Schnöselburg have come upon the elves of the Swizzic
Republic, who are going over some secret plans:<o:p></o:p></div>

It is the Royal Guard’s
objective to steal these secret plans, but the elves will protect them with
their lives. You can see my grenadier has already been bested by the elves’
sure fire! Next, the cowardly Rittmeister Heißhund
takes cover behind a barrel and fires his pistol at the elves:</div>

Soon, the dogman
musketier fires at the elven musketier from behind a tree trunk and the
elf is hit and removed from the board. The dogman then engages the other elven
musketier in melee and dispatches him brutally. Then the elven section leader
takes revenge and removes the golden dogman from play. This leaves the two
section leaders to battle it out in close combat. It is a tight struggle, but
the dogman has the upper hand with his bonus from his sword of exquisite
quality, and the elf is soon defeated:<o:p></o:p></div>

Since we were just
trying out the rules, we decided not to do away with any of our characters who
had the misfortune to actually die. But we did roll for their fates anyway, and
it was pretty simple to figure out what happened to each character. The rules
are fun and creative, especially the special skills and traits (though we chose
not to use them in our test game). There were a couple of spots that had us a
bit confused, but after some more careful reading, we were able to figure them
out. All in all, it was pretty easy to get a game going and certainly lots of
fun!<o:p></o:p></div>
