Today's Miniature

Warzone Mourning Wolf Heroine

Returned to Warzone painting last night. I know this is one of the worse shots I have taken, I'll try and get a better one tonight. But it was figures like this that got me into Warzone as a game. That's just a cool figure.

I will probably focus on the remaining figures in this squad. Instead of the usual process of making all the figures look basically the same my goal this time to is to allow a little more variation. You can't tell from the crappy picture but I tried to utilize some different techniques and colors in this one. Used a black undercoat with a real light metal dry brush for the gun and the chain, instead of my customary all metallic color. I was pretty happy with how it turned out.

Different route, flatter, knocked out 4.5 miles, it took longer for the pain to come, which is the plus side, must endeavor to persevere

Today's Miniature

Clan War Phoenix Hero

Sorry for the break, I had a very busy weekend: multiple birthday parties, plus getting the new laptop configured correctly. Anyway, back to it with another Clan War figure, you can see another reason I like the game so much is the miniatures are very interesting to paint.

This one was done in multiple layers of red, starting with a dark 'blood red' then dry brushed with a lighter bright red, then topped with a light dry brush of a dark yellow. The feathers were a special challenge, but I thought I handled them alright.  

Back to painting tonight, but probably take a break from the Clan War, not sure what I will do, thinking of returning to my Lizardmen.

Well this game is seriously demoralizing, I wonder if the Rams can make the adjustments to not let this get any uglier?

Kids fed & bathed, oldest working on homework, decks are clear for me to watch the Rams on Monday night football! Here we go!

Dragged myself out for a 4 mile run this morning, pushed through the pain to do it, my new plan for the week begins with 1 word: stretch!
