When it comes to painting miniatures, well prepared is really half done. I had cleaned, assembled, based and primed the big tribal warrior batch previously. Therefore when it came to actually painting them, everything went extremely smoothly. Considering I finished the pikemen first, I doubt I have painted another resolutions set this snappily. And this even with the multiple styles of figures in the set, including all those tribal masks crying out for custom treatment.
And I have the next set pretty much prepped ready also. Pretty much because it seems I made a counting error at some point and there are only 23 figures waiting in the queue. Since I ran out of basic tribal warriors, I will have to fill the ranks with another white explorer. That covers September.
Then I have two packs of Masai warriors (with the head dresses obviously) and more explorers, British officers and Victorian ladies to fill out the set for October.
Which really only leaves November and December.
I think we will journey into the west with the coming winter...
But now I can get back to stuff I really wanted to do. I'm a bit torn what to do with the resolutions for the next year. On the other hand it is supposed to be something you wouldn't get done otherwise. While on the other hand it would be really nice if was something I was actually enthusiastic about.
We'll see. Meanwhile, stay tuned for Slammers games.
Sucks!
