I'd been looking forward to returning to my Spartans all day. So, straight onto the painting (a.k.a. kitchen) table when I got home tonight in order to make the most of the fantastic evening light.'Blue' Spartan Platoons No.2 and No.3 were finished in record time. I also emptied the last zip bags of GZG New Israeli odds and sods to create a couple of additional support squads and then just painted every last miniature left on the table until there is a small sea of blue. My thoughts turn to Chelsea and I'm reminded of the 1979 the FA Cup Winners Subbuteo team I owned as a kid. Chelsea's main rivals were rather surprisingly Brazil, whom I don't think ever actually played at Stamford Bridge........
By 8.30pm, 60 plus Spartans and 3 conversions done in just two nights, with plenty of time spare to crack open a bottle of wine and plump down on the sofa with Heather to cringe in unison at the latest episode of The Apprentice on the BBC. Best TV of the week.

If you are a real bad ass painter you'll render that head icon on each and every one of these guys, say on their tiny shoulders.

Ha ha! Thought of it Michael, but in gold and black. I'm going to play with the image and do a banner (or two) W40K style.

That would be very cool. But if you just did a dab of gold, over a dab of black say, then just make like three lines in blue to hint at a face and crest...it would work fine I should think.
ReplyDeleteIf you have the banner it would be great and make the little dotted-on face icons on the troopers stand right out.
You can do it.

I'm totaly with you on the Apprentice Mark. It's compulsive viewing. For me as yet there are no clear candidates that stand out (apart from the Blonde obviously :) LOL ).
