Rough days II

Well well well... can't say things are improving on the private side. Broke my hand, useless for everything, except complaining 😜

All I could do in the past weeks was gluing pieces of cork on bases and drybrushing them with different shades of grey. You may notice that compared to the previous post, I have also touched up a few details, and numbered the skulls (that was before the accident). 

Anyway. 10 spearmen now ready for battle.

  1. Oh, no. You’re overdue a break of the good luck kind.
    Beautiful unit. Real works of art. I look forwards to when you’re able to paint some more figures for this project.

  2. Tu conserves toute ta dextérité de socleur. Belle allure martiale de l'unité, le régiment visuellement ça a vraiment son charme! Remets toi bien! :)

    1. Merci ! Peintes une par une, j'ai du mal à anticiper la cohérence de l'ensemble. La photo finale du régiment est toujours une surprise en ce qui me concerne...

  3. Courage et patience pour la convalescence (et tout le reste), toujours un plaisir de se plonger dans tes magnifiques travaux.

  4. We are sorry that things are not better and for the accident at hand. The funereal atmosphere of your project can be felt in the miniatures you painted so far. Even the numbers on the skulls add a precious detail to the storytelling.
    We don't know if there is a connection between the mood of your project and the unlucky period you are experiencing... However, we advise you to consider a cheerful theme for the next OWAC - an army of former circus clowns? :)

    1. thanks Rodor, that's an interesting suggestion :) But I would probably turn the circus into something weird and possibly tainted by Chaos (not a very original idea, considering Shadows over Bögenhafen for instance)

  5. You have a spectacular style. One of the best I've ever seen. Especially skin tones. And those strategically placed points of light. Congratulations.
