After Thursday's run out of the rules, I decided I was in need of some extra terrain pieces to build a medieval village to fight over. Luckily I already have a church and 3 resin homes from Gripping Beast as well as a couple of stone outbuildings with small fields attached. To these I can add a few walls, some crates and barrels etc. I then remembered that I had a wattle building from Renedra that I could also use along with 3 or 4 card built houses I did many years ago. So I should have plenty of buildings but did decide to add 2 more outbuildings, just for variety. I also picked up some ready painted wattle fences off EBay at a very reasonable price, will probably get another set of these. The 2 outbuildings were quick and easy to do. A simple base coat of chocolate brown, then dry brushed all over with dark grey. The roof was give a dry brush of middlestone before the whole model was dry brushed with a cream.
There will be further additions to come on the scenery front. I have a number of market stalls to build and paint. May need to pick up some extra trade goods if I build all seven. I'll also need a few more carts or wagons just to break the terrain up and provide more cover.
On the figure front I added 4 more serjeants with spears, these are kit bashed from Fireforge and Wargames atlantic. I deliberately went without shields, there are another 2 more to do. I also finished the last of my peasants, this gives me 2 different weapon options for them.
I hope to get the last few figures done this week, including a couple of knights and a serjeant with banners. After these I can work on the first of the market stalls.
Fair cracking along with your projects Neil, good looking buildings and the fences look very nice. The serjeants and peasants look great, the guy with the hand scythe looks a vicious so and so!
ReplyDeleteI agree! At current production rates, your few figures will be finished before the day is out, never mind “this week.”
