Blog Marcus' painting blog 2022

Initiating hobby time. Updates to follow

 

Update 1

10 skellies built

5 more clipped and cleaned

1 resin army banner bearer built

 

Update 2:

10 skeleton archers built.

10 shields clipped and cleaned

Everybody is on bases or painting stands.

 

Brought stuff out from the painting desk to do some basing here.

I dare say she's looking like an army, lads.

 

Tonight's insanity. More prep for an eventual good day for priming. It's been too cool lately.

3 revenant heroes on horseback. 2 banner bearer, 1 champion.

Also, I converted 2 "primaris" neophytes (like in the black templars squad) simply because I wanted to see if the conversion would look decent. It does, although I think I'm going to find more readily available shoulder pads.

I converted a Phobos pattern marine (all I had on hand) as thier "initiate" leader.

 

As ll of the previously mentioned had been primed. Ive put time in on some Aztecs, and I futzed with some blu tack experiments.

 

Let me guess - Ogre-sized Orcs?

 

that was the experiment. I bought the bitz pack because it had axes i need for my chaos army. I figured I'd play around with what was left

 

1 Otomi warrior

1 5th rank warrior priest

3 commoner youth slingers

10 1-captive warriors wielding machuitil and shield

10 skeleton warriors with spears and shield

2 Roman town criers.

-------

That is "so far" today. All fully painted. Finishing basing before posting.

 

I'm following the dopamine to tonight. And right now that means only a few things assembled.

 

I've put paint to the remaining slingers, I've am also built a few more things.

It's a very Aztec yule here.

 

Current build progress.

Looking forward to starting my 2023 thread next week.



2 dudes with quaxolotl (umbrella like) palmitl back banners, along with two shorn ones to act as "bodyguards" / command base filler.

 

Select dwarf conversions. I have one final model to paint to closeout this year, and I guarantee you all will adore him. He is not pictured below, but trust me it's a cool model.

 

Nice use of Late Roman spears on those Einherjar!

Which game are you going to use those for?

 

Most likely kings of war.
