First Stargrunt squad done!



Things that I have learnt painting my first 15mm:
*My eyesight is going
*It really doesn't matter if each mini isn't that good. "That'll do, pig".
*DO NOT USE VARNISH. The white on the bases is my Humbrol varnish melting the base. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT
*A full army/squad always looks better than an excellently painted single figure Read More......

Leviathan and Stargrunt projects!

I've had this mini (well, it stands 12 cm tall) for over a decade. It is from the now defunct 'Leviathan' game, and I've always loved it but never had a reason to use it. I looks like that know I might thanks to Nuclear Renaissance! Over the years, and moving country, it has taken a beating and will need a lot of attention to get up to scratch. Embarrassingly, I've never painted a mini this big before so I may have to approach it with a little caution.





As you can see, it needs a lot of filing and putty before it is painted.




On top of this, Stargrunt! I've been playing (and loving) SG a fair bit recently so went and bought a platoon of New Israeli from Ground Zero Games. The two APCs are from Old Crow.

All thats seven 8-man squads, a command squad and 2 mounted sentry guns all for 25 quid +p&h. Bargain.





I almost don't want to paint them because the promise of what they will be will always be better than the reality of how I will paint them. But we've all got to grow up, children, and I should start these this week.
