It's a New Year

 Well here we are in a new year. Hope everyone survived what was 2020 with your sanity intact.

If anything it has given me more time to spend on the hobby. And I've been a little more motivated to get some things done. What else ya gonna do stuck at home?

I haven't done much picture taking of the projects, I've been focused on doing the projects. I need to be more vigilant on that. I do have a stash of pictures taken earlier last fall of already completed minis to get things rolling for this year.


I got this guy a long time ago. He went missing for a little while - more than a year - maybe 7. Then he was found in mini-me's Lego box. How did he get in there? Only he knows - but he did get painted this past summer so he can now join his friends:

The rest of his crew were all painted up at least 5 years ago. I really need to start marking my minis on when I get them completed. Then maybe I can gauge and see if any of my painting techniques and such improve. Not likely but it may be neat to compare some. In this case I was trying to match #1 up with the rest so that they go together for reals.

#2 cultist is really cool. I did some free hand scribbles in his tome that from a distance don't appear all that bad. 

#3 obviously


and #4
And finally number #5
Being mainly D&D players, not real sure how I can work #4 & #5 into a game with guns and flamethrowers. They can still make good stand-ins anyway. I'm sure I can figure some way to get them on the table. 

Well that's my one of my cultist crews. 

I also painted up two not-Comissars to go with my not-Imperial Guard troops.
I can't remember where they came from. I do remember I was looking for other minis or something and they popped up in the ebay suggestions and I guess it was late and had already been working on a bottle of 19 Crimes which made it that much easier to Buy it Now.


MASK UP! IT'S A PANDEMIC!


And lastly I finished up a wolf pack that has been in my mountain of lead for a couple of years and had made one unpainted appearance in a game.



I really tried to get  a 'realistic' coloring on these instead of just some straight gray/blackwash/drybrush painting on them. Didn't turn out too bad for their small size - I think.
I still have a couple of larger dire wolves in the mountain of lead so we'll call this attempt practice.

That's some of the stuff I did this summer. I've got more. I just need to take some pictures of the finished products. 

Until then here's a sneak peek at the WIP Apocalypse Scooby Gang I finally finished up this summer:
I know you've seen Fred and maybe some of the others waiting in the background on other posts.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a safe, happy, healthy new year!
