Finished a lot of miniatures today (79?), including the matte clear coat. Some of these have been in the paint queue for 20 years (hangs head in shame). Some were purchased within the last two years. (Lifts head up, "YAY!!!").
I remembered that I had a purple/mauve banner (the stout Xth Legion of the Steark Mercenary Order), so I shifted colors to match their flag. Need to paint a red plastic straw, black, and then glue it to a single figure's stand (the flag banner is on a wire, it slots into the straw tube, when the Unit is on the table), then they can march with their banner, with pride. [Oops! Just saw in the photo that two Spearmen need face paint, yet... "Grrr!"]
10th Legion Steark Order Human Warriors
Finished the last 16 Goblin Worg Riders, with numerous command figures. That completes my Goblin Army, around 220-230 figures? They breed like rabbits, so it's hard to keep track -- their mortality rate fluctuates wildly, as well.
Last batch of Goblin Worg Riders
Finished one group of Orc Short Bowmen. Taking a Short Bow to a Long Bow fight is akin to taking a knife to a gun fight... They need to breed like rabbits, as well!
Orc Shortbowmen (aka, Fodder for Grumsh's undead army in Hell...)
The white dowel in the back left corner of the base is covered with a colored plastic tube bead, to show which stands belong to which Unit, in my 2e BattleSystem games. I also plan to paint the edges of the bases with Hunter Green paint, to make them blend into the tabletop's green indoor/outdoor carpet covering: fast, easy, works well enough.
I am in the painting mood... The anvil is HOT! Gotta strike! Gotta keep striking, before it cools and I lose the drive... Cheers!
