So I got around an hour to paint last night, and finished the bronze detail on my Grath minis!

 

Once I do their guns, they're ready to go!  The only extra detail I might try is some...

No painting done this weekend, what with Mother's Day and all.

 

Tonight I'm hoping to wrap the Grath, though I may be working late again.

 

We'll see....

I didn't work on the peasants any last night, but I *did* make some good progress on my 10 Grath figures.

 

I decided...

I DID IT!  I actually got the basic paint jobs done on all 20 peasants last night, and some drybrush shading on almost half of them.  One more evening of detailing (belts, beards, shoes) and they'll be...

Then again, if it...

But peasants are used to dirty work!

 

It looks like it took a bit longer than a few nights (try more like a few months) to get back to these guys, but I got half of those peasant figures...

About a year ago, I played in a British Colonial game set in the Khyber Pass of Afghanistan.  At the time, I was greatly impressed with the setting and scenario, but at a loss for rules to use.  So like so...

Ok, so it was one of those "solo" games where I was basically playing with myself (sigh), but I did manage to set up a full table with terrain and miniatures, push some lead around, roll some dice and have some fun....
