What I painted in 2026
End of June
Yes, I know I’m writing this on the 1st of July, but I managed to get a few more minis painted in June.
Kicking off with the Officer from the Silver Bayonet Calabresi unit, for which I pretty much followed the box art (without the trim on the jacket). I’ve only 2 more figures to paint from that box : hopefully I’ve have them done next month.
I also painted the Simeon Bar Giora miniature from Northwing Miniatures that I got as part of the welcome pack for the Mordheim all-dayer I attended a couple of months back. A nice mini, and as he’s armed with a sword and dagger he is ideal for Mordheim.
Finally, I painted the Champion and Musician for the Mengil Manhides regiment of renown. I picked these up shortly after last years spring clean challenge when I specifically said I wouldn’t be seeking them out. To be fair to myself, I didn’t go looking for them, but browsing an oldhammer site (The Demon’s Lair) they just jumped out at me. I’m not going to lie, it’s satisfying to have all the figures (although I’d argue not the full regiment, as I’d need 3 times as many troopers thinking about how they were originally sold).
It’s time to change the paper on my wet palette too : I think for the 2nd time this year.
