The venerable Rick Priestly once wrote an article about focus in ones hobby endavours (or something like that. Long time ago) were he renamed December to Month of painting Witch Elves. Inspired by that I have tried to schedule 2025 hobby wise on a monthly basis 1/13

It’s Friday once again!

This week the theme is…black. Obviously.

So let’s see the black stuff

As usual I’ll reskeet the lot and if you like something, share it!

#miniaturepainting help me out, I want to paint models for other people, if you have done it in the past or are currently doing it, any chance of a hand here?
I can paint to a decent level, I just suck at the working it out to get people to want me to do it for them

My test model for a squad of German Gebirgsjäger from Warlord Games. Other than a few touch ups i'm happy with the result. Think i'll paint them as a mix of tan and white smocks and field tunics as I can't make up my mind.

...a quick wip shot of my 1672 French artillery. I plan to have six guns plus fusiler guards, but will start with basing these two. Many of the crew are simple conversions from pikemen.

Proof of (hobby) life: Noble Knight Games rescue #1 in progress.

Advertised as "Grand Manner A-frame", this is one of two now OOP Architects of War "Dark Age" A-frames. There's some nice interior detail, which I'll hopefully get to look nice.

After a week of no interest in painting I've bounced back with some Sasanid infantry archers. These are 3d printed from Resin Warfare files and downsized to 15/18mm from 28mm files.
The armoured ones are probably a bit over-armoured unless they are dismounted cavalry, but what the heck.

#wargaming
16 bases of Sasanid Persian infantry archers, each base having 3 figures in various poses. Half the bases are unarmoured archers although some have a helmet, the other half are armoured archers also in a variety of poses. 16 bases of Sasanid Persian infantry archers, each base having 3 figures in various poses.

Progress at last! At least one of the half finished bases cluttering up my desk got finally finished. Figures Victrix with Aventine heads and Gripping Beast casualty. Only wish those Victrix capes weren't so 'flowy'
