A big project done

 It's done, Max's Reaper Bones V kickstarter set is all painted. It took me an age and a half, but I'm finally done, even with most of the figures painted with dipping, it still took a long time, but it's great to have this big collection available for our D&D games.

If I had to give a suggestion to anyone who wanted to start getting miniatures for D&D or other fantasy RPG, definitely go for a Reaper Bones kickstarter, it might take a long time to get delivered, but for a very fair price you would end up with a ton of stuff to represent PCs, NPSc and all sort of monsters and small terrain pieces.

Over the couple of years it took me to paint them all, we used these figures so much, some of them were even used for Warhammer games. They are cheap, easy to paint and still great quality figures, if I didn't already have way too many figures still to paint I would definitely consider this kind of investment.

But on to the figures, as usual, I saved some good stuff for last, a whole bunch of undead, all very cool models, I did what I needed with dipping, but anything that was going to be mostly black was done with washes and drybrush.

A single picture, many tanks

This week I finished some tanks for Dennis, they are DAK Panzer IIIs in 15mm for Flames of War.

They are all from Battlefront except for one that I think is from Svezda.

More Bones D&D figures

I'm almost at the end of Max's giant Reaper Bones V kickstarter.

I started painting some of his figures that we needed for Warhammer games, then few for D&D, until I finally decided that I might as well paint the whole set of 150ish figures so that whenever we needed some for a game I would have them ready.

I went for a very simple and quick dipping method, that way I could have a high output and get them done without too much fuss.

This is the before last batch of figures for this project, the last one will be completed in a couple of weeks and it will be a more themed batch, you will see.

Romans and other ancients

 This week I have some historical figures for you, some Republican Roman legionaries and a handful of Thracian light infantry.

I did them all with a quick dipping, but I painted the Roman shields in a traditional way to make them look better, as usual, they are good for the table and look nice all lined up.

More World War II German Afrika Corp armour

 This is the second batch of DAK armor I finished for Dennis, Panzer IVs and a few self propelled artillery pieces.

I still have 28 Panzer III to do, but those will take some time to be completed.

Panzer IVs, different variants and weapon configurations. 15mm, Battlefront miniatures and (I think) Plastic Soldiers company, drybrush

Giant Wyvern

 This is a Reaper Bones giant Wyvern that I painted for Doyle for his birthday. I started this "tradition" quite a few years ago, when it is some friend's birthday, I offer to paint some figures for them, from their pile of shame, instead of buying them more figures that will probably never get painted, I think it feels better to have some of their own pile done and out of the way, we all have figures we would really like to paint, but never get around to...
