Some Loot from North Star Military Figures

This time it took 13 days for a parcel to reach my secret lab from Lenton, UK - seems that delivery times go up by a couple of days for each successive order 😆

I have been stockpiling rulesets lately, mainly because I need some small games to motivate me for painting a few minis here and there, and partly because the summer holidays is a great time for reading, as when sitting in front of the camping trailer somewhere in central France, I cannot rush off to search through some obscure box for some long forgotten mini I suddenly see a use for.

I have been wantint to get those (Frostgrave) Rangifers ever since they were released (I have a lot of ideas how to put them to use), and I took the opportunity to order them along with Thud & Blunder.

As soon as I have painted a Mines of Moria plastic Gandalf and a metal Moria Goblin Shaman, I shall assemble and paint the Rangifer Shaman (you can never have too many Magic-Users for small-scale skirmish gaming 😈), but I need a Wizard for my Gondor SAGA AoM warband (and also for Age of Fantasy Skirmish, for all that matters), and the Goblin Shaman is also sorely needed for both games.

All in all, I am pretty content with today, as I have both printed a lot, finished some re-basing (later post), blogged quite a bit, and received this little lot (and it is even hot and sunny outside!).

SS&SS: Elf Witch Rebased WIP

She is now ready to move on the painting station, where I shall paint her base black before texturing it and panting it in earth colours.

There will now be a break from rebasing old minis, while I assemble the 12 Victrix plastic Greek archers (and possibly also while I speed-paint them).

SS&SS: Witch Elf Getting a New Base WIP

As mentioned earlier, this old piece of Jes Goodwin goodness is being rebased for use in Sellswords & Spellslingers (and other purposes, too, of course).

A couple of hours after making the earlier post, I removed the slotta, razor-sawed off half of the base-tab, and superglued her to a 20mm washer.

I may put some filler on some of the recently based minis later this evening, if I am not too tired in my head of all this sunny and warm weather, but I would like to get them away from the prepping station right away, so that I can start assembling the Victrix Greek archers without any distractions (12 plastic models with only two different bodies may get somewhat boring if it is not done very quickly).

SS&SS: Elf Witch

I am going to re-base this mini painted quite some years ago, and use her as the basis for an Elvish warband for Sellswords & Spellslingers. I have some more painted Elves to join her, so the party should be ready in next to no time.

I love it how SS&SS is motivating me to pick up some of my old and long dormant projects, and give some of my old minis some table time.
