Games, models, reading, painting... the usual.

@Smygpainter The heraldry gave them a good bit of colour, it’s true! Makes the English army look positively dowdy by comparison.

A local gaming club is putting on a competition for #ToTheStrongest and I’ve decided to enter, which is the first time I’ve tried something like this. Looks like I now have a deadline to get all my #HundredYearsWar models finished up! Plus, I need to decide who to take... 😳

[Craig Thomson @cra1gwt]

Managed it in time for the game-day! Had a lot of fun, and it was great to see the collection out on the table. 🙂

[Craig Thomson @cra1gwt]

The muster is well underway, with base highlights on. After this it’ll be the grass, and then only the last stray few figures to paint. #HYW

[Craig Thomson @cra1gwt]

Finally finished off my ‘lockdown project’ started in 2020: a collection of #HYW armies. The French force is now complete. At long, long last! Feeling very relieved.

Test model done with contrast paints for #HorusHeresy #SonsOfHorus

@tomjmegan They really need to re-release space hulk. All of the @tomjmegan regular posts on #spacehulksunday make me properly nostalgic.

@Dice_Dad Sword & Spear is good, I remember. I’m a bit more into ‘To The Strongest’ at the moment, so I should probably also go back and give S&S a go.

[Craig Thomson @cra1gwt]

@Dice_Dad It is - I’ve become quite the fan over building this lot. Been at it on and off for about 3 years. I blame the Perry plastics!

[Craig Thomson @cra1gwt]

First one I ever bought.

Across all my years of #warhammer hobby, I have actually never owned a dreadnought - until now! Made a #30k #HorusHeresy Contemptor with clampy-claw and twin shooty-sticks. He’s called Geoff.

[Craig Thomson @cra1gwt]

Assembling space marine after space marine. Quite the force! #30k #HorusHeresy

[Craig Thomson @cra1gwt]

@PaterPuellarum Heavy-duty batch painting. Looking great though!

[Craig Thomson @cra1gwt]

@Dice_Dad Get yourself to Etsy and search for 3D-printed models. Similar style, fraction of the cost.

[Craig Thomson @cra1gwt]

@winston_ab_rees Trying to put a brave face on it as I’m happy with the end result, but I now need to act like I really did plan to derail my whole #HYW project for several months! 😬👍

[Craig Thomson @cra1gwt]

Grinding through my hand-painted #HundredYearsWar French banners. I’ve enlarged a photocopy of the example banners in the Perry Miniatures set, then hand-painted over the whole thing. Now at final outlines with a technical pen. This. Has. Been. A. Struggle!
