Something old, something new

Oh well, time just flies past when you let it do what it wants...

So, I did not pass the challenge for last year. But I still got about 150 miniatures painted, for which I am happy.

And of course I planned a new challenge for 2014:

Painting the Empire army for Sigmar's Blood campaign.

As the campaign consists of four battles, I will try to paint the army for each battle for each quarter of the year. For the first quarter this means painting the Empire Battleforce (20 swordsmen, 10 handgunners, 8 knights and 1 cannon with 3 crew) and A Witch Hunter Hero to lead the force.

I have painted some of the required miniatures some years ago, but I will revamp those a bit. And if the painting goes well I might try to get the Vampire Count army painted too ;-) (Yeah, dream on...)


Here's what I got painted after the last blog post from 2013:

An unit of 12 Dwarf Thunderers with Full Command group


These two I started some time (years) ago and just put to the finishing touches:

Dwarf Daemon Slayer

Dwarf Lord on Runestone



In addition, I got something done for the challenge. As usual I get sidetracked with my painting but I will do my best to stick to the plan. Even though the new Dwarf and Tyranid miniatures tempt me so much...


1 Mortar with 3 crew
1 Great Cannon with 3 crew

The cannon crew I had already painted, as well as the guns themselves. But I wanted to give them bases so I actually only did the bases. But, they are done now (though only the cannon is needed for the campaign).
