The Weekend Strikes Back...

First up, the good part  :)

I received my model from Freebooter for Sean's campaign last week, along with Kara Sloans right arm (Warmachine Warcaster), and grafted the two together during D&D last week. Its a bit rough but once painted, no-one will know the difference hopefully. With a bit of luck I'll get started on her this week. She is going to look a little "pirate-ish" for a wild west inspired campaign, but that's beside the point.

 

The bad side of course was that I managed to aggravate an old issue with my back muscles (who would have known there were some...) after painting on Sunday. So managed to get nothing done in the evening and spent all of today slowly moving around the house as doing anything except lying face down resulted in pain... Needless to say I am keen to see the back of last weekend  :)

Tabitha Jones

For the last few weeks, Sean has been running a very cool D&D 4e game after work and is about to start a new campaign this week based on a world he has created, rather than a pre-gen one. We decided to find minatures and get them painted as part of the process of creating our characters and backgrounds. For once I actually managed to get something painted well in advance... that was until last week when I completely changed classes, races, backgrounds.... but since I got Tabitha (version 1.0 - who's name was going to be Cassie) completed in time, I thought I would share.

The model itself is from Freebooter Miniatures who make some really cool models. To paint it I used Vallejo Game Colour and stuck to a small range of Beasty Brown, Khaki, Earth and Desert Yellow (for the browns) and Imperial Blue, Magic Blue & Electric Blue.

I was particularly happy with how the cobblestones came out, but given that most of the model was painted after work one night, I was happy with the whole thing... of course now I am waiting on my new model to arrive.
