The festive season has drawn to a close. The decorations are down, the houselights switched off and up and down the country children are being bussled earlier into bed knowing that school starts again tomorrow. I managed fourteen painted figures in the end. A model for everyday of my holiday, though they were not painted in that way. I had the odd day off honest. Twelfth Night is tomorrow as well, and a suitable ending point for a Christmasy painting binge.
These classic little blighters need no introduction. I found these unfinished in one of the tatty boxes that were returned to me a few months back. I think I began work on this the year I did 'The Tale of the Four Oldhammer Gamers' with Paul, Steve and Chico.
That was the best hobby group thing I ever did.
Long time readers may well remember my small Nurgle Warband I created for the project. Somehow, these little creatures slipped through the net and never got to join their brethren of the boil. So it was fun to finish them at long last as testament to those glory days.
Like a newb, I based all these figures before I started painting them (perhaps a factor while I gave up on them all those years ago...) so it was fiddly to reach the individual nurglings. The base was also a problem, my usual retro style far too green to work with these tiny models. I had also used GW sand from back in those days and it had loads of large stones dotted about. With hindsight, a more subtle level of sand would have been much better looking.
Still, they are finished.
I hope you lot like them.
Not sure when hobby time will rear its head again for me. Things will be full on again as of tomorrow. The electrician is due back to install lighting outside, we need to organise the initial works for the kitchen and my dental woes have returned to bring me down once again.
There are still so many models I want to get completed and I have that skeleton horde project to hopefully make progress on as well.

I love the variety of skin tones, and I see your point about your normal basing style needing changing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all these wonderful classic minis.
Looking forward to more Skeleton Horde.
Wasail!
Thank you Mr C. I have returned to the workshop after the freezing weather and three skellies were waiting for me on the painting bench. I am eager to add them to the ranks.
DeleteAren't they gorgeous? I love the way you painted them, cool job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Suber.... can Nurglings be gorgeous?
DeleteThe Nurglings look terrific imho. Lovely contrasting colours. I spent a couple of years trying to hobby with dental pain, and it wasn't much fun at all. So my fingers are crossed for you to get pain free asap.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your concern. It is a long term issue but this new dentist seems to know all about it so fingers crossed I can get on top of it at last.
DeleteGreat job.
ReplyDeleteThank you (:
DeleteWe were told that cryptocurrency was the next big thing and many people fell victim into the wrong hands and i was also one of them, i was told to invest and get 10% of my investment every month and it was looking all good at first because i got 10% the first month and i was persuaded to invest more which i did, the second month came expecting the next 10% then i was told to send my bitcoin barcode which i did the next thing i discovered that my bitcoin wallet was cleaned up, i was left devastated and lost, to crown it up the people i invested in stopped replying and all of these happened on telegram, i came across macprivateinvestigators@gmail.com and they helped recover all my stolen funds along side with the investment.
