Here's the whole bunch all together. I'm currently working on the next three models and when they are complete I'll be a third of the way through the infantry. Remember, I want the whole project complete before year's end so even though life has been holding me back a bit, I'm still making progress of a sort.
The bases are not making me happy though. I'm going to paint something different today and play around with the system. I want them to look brighter than they are at the moment to help life the models a little. I'd rather repaint seven bases than thirty.
I'm sure many of you have heard the sad news about the death of GW oldie and ultimate Robin Hood, Tim Pollard. Long time readers will recall my interview with him twelve years ago and his revelations of the whereabouts of many old school GW pieces of art. It was very sad to here yesterday that he lost his battle with cancer and especially poignant that his wife, Sally, also died of this terrible disease some years ago.
I suppose Tim's biggest contribution to classic Citadel was his amusing and highly irreverent naming conventions for many of the mid-eighties figures. With my favourites being the c18 Zombies... who cannot love Pek-Gregri, Peeled, Bowelburst and of course Gavin!!???
Excellent work on the skeletons, the squinty shield looks fine to me.
ReplyDeleteSad news about Tim, those names are classic and sum up the best era of GW
You think so? I'll leave it be and move on then (:
DeleteAlso agree that the "squinty" shield has character and should be left as is.
ReplyDeleteYou could even name all your skellies, as a Tim Pollard tribute, and that one would of course be Squinty. ;)
