Painting Fantasy - the Dwarfs are back

 Painting armies is tedious. Many soldiers to paint, and can be boring after a while.

Painting while watching movies ease the pain. After few years (yes years!) I finally got somewhere with my Dwarf army. And it was not easy.

The miniatures came with the first kickstarter from Mantic's Kings of War, but it took so~ long to have a proper brush love.

I had done a first batch when it arrived and they got shelved when the game store moved to a different district - No more lunch painting for me. 

During the lockdown, I used my discord RPG time to play and paint at the same time, as painting does not require so much brain power (at least for me).

First the leader, the beast cannon and the army.

For the leader I used a Space Wolf hammer and a different shield to differentiate him from the rest.

I soberly painted him, as Dwarf leaders mean business and are not out for a beauty contest.

The army included artillery, and a special metal one. It can be mounted or just set a bombard.

The army itself

Space Rat in Terminator armor - beware!

 If you are scared of rats and mouse in your kitchen or your backyard, imagine meeting one with a heavy armor facing you in a narrow corridor somewhere in space where nobody can hear you die....

This is a Veer-Myn leader, but I can't find it anymore on their portal. Likely out of print (and this show how out of touch I am with latest releases)

Isolation - What has been painted lately - The Super Mutants - Heavy Orks from Mantic

Like the whole world, Hong Kong has been struck by the virus. We were among the first and since late Jan, we lived through the first wave and the second wave.

Before this situation, I started painting and playing Kill Team. With the latest measures, it is now impossible to play Kill Team anymore (limited gathering), and my painting area had been taken over my dear half working from home.

Still, I was able to push forward few models.

These are Mantic models and fits very well as Super Mutants for any Fallout proxy game.

January update: painting is back ( unposted, but there it is)

2019 was poor when it comes to painting and the main culprit was a bad light in the dining room, where I had not enough light to properly see what I was doing.

2020 started with a change. We changed the light completely and now we have a full LED ceiling light. No more excuses.

I have now started on my xmas gift (Ulrik the wolf priest) and other miniatures that I had in stock but never had time to work on.

Orignalversion, not really KT ready

After some changes
