I must say I'm really enjoying painting these Marienburgers; they're very colourful and yet quite a simple palette. Today P and I went to visit P's friend R, and we all hung out in her workshop room painting. R does a lot of gunpla, and 3d prints stuff like "a Reaver Titan" or "a statuette of an anime character" and has a lot of funky things like airbrushes, and similar tools. She's very skilled and certainly a better painter than I am! At any rate while we were doing that I managed to finish the second Marksman and one of the Swordsmen, leaving the Captain, one Youngblood, and the last Swordsman.
 |
| I gave the Swordsman a grey beard because I figure he's a gnarled old veteran who's seen some things - hence the skull on his belt! |
 |
| Unlike the other Marksman, this one's handgun stock hasn't been painted. Like the Swordsman, he carries a skull. Why? Why not |
 |
| I like the way the feathers turned out, even if they could maybe be a slightly different colour to the clothes |
 |
| The Swordsman has a gold earring; the Marksman a votive paper wrapped round his sword. Both are lucky charms in a way |
Not only that but I finally picked up the 3D prints I'd got R to make for me at the end of last year (!) - two Dreadnought Drop Pods for my Deathwing army, a bunch of Battlefleet Gothic Imperial ships just because, and some Battlemechs:
 |
| I think the Stalker might be a bit small, or the Black Knight a bit too big, but whatever - it's Battletech! I do need to source some hex bases though... |
And then, after all that, we had a very nice little game of Tokaido which R won handily (I came dead last):
 |
| At rear, some of R's 3D printed anime statuettes painted entirely by her |
All in all, a very nice and quite productive day really.
