Part of a Frostgrave lot I bought off eBay some time ago. More experiments!
Documenting the winding journey from beginning wargaming and PnP RPG-s, through low budget solutions, to a growing collection of painted miniatures and a veritable chronicle of games and campaigns.

Painting genies (slapchop method)
Part of a Frostgrave lot I bought off eBay some time ago. With two identical genies, I decided on painting one red - perhaps an efreeti or demon. This allowed me some further experimentation with the colors as well.
Painting giant rats (slapchop method)
Part of a Frostgrave lot I bought off eBay some time ago. I decided to try them out with the slapchop method, see how the fur fairs. Spoiler: they look great. I also tried to use Stonewall Grey instead of Cold Grey, but it looked about the same for lightness, but with bluish hints. Back to Cold Grey it is.

July review and August goals
Let's copy paste the last post's first paragraph, for another successful month, ending in an awful cold.
RPGs scaled back this month, with only a single session of D&D and nothing else, due to holidays and COVID. Nevertheless, we are preparing for something new next month... fingers crossed.
On the other hand, I got in 3 games of Warhammer 40k with my brand new Word Bearers army. And speaking of Word Bearers, that's all I'm painting nowadays. Feeling a bit fatigued by red metallic armor, but still going strong. I can finally play with a new codex! Even if not very well. Expect more of these guys to come out in August, as well as some more games. Sorry Sigmar, this month we're crushing the False Emperor.
Word Bearers vs Novokh Necrons, 25.07.2022
The second 2000 points outing of the Word Bearers, a bit adapted from last time to test how does 180 points of Obliterators compare to a 170 points Predator Destructor. We played the Conversion scenario from Warzone Nephilim.
