Moving at a crawl...


...if even that much. 

Battletech is in full swing but everything else is pretty much a non-starter right now. I did at least (barely) manage to sloppily apply the red to the robes of my Daughters of the Burning Rose KS minis, but that's been it.

3-color minimum achieved! Meaning they're ready for Tournament play, lol!

I dunno, perhaps I just need to take a break (which is apparently already in progress...) or something. I've been going pretty steady on this ol' blog for almost a solid decade. I'm not ready to throw in the towel (or have any intent to do so), rather I think I'm just going to putter around with The Buffet Assault Group blog for a bit, and get it fully up and going. Speaking of, Kushial and I played a 7-8ish hour brawl this past Saturday, and I ought to be posting about that here shortly. 

So stay tuned, I'll be back...eventually...

P.S.: Oh, I have my Grymn army up on ebay for anyone who's interested here stateside.

Trying to kickstart this ol' engine...

Not quite sure where the hobbying doldrums came from, but I'm trying to get things moving again. I dunno, maybe it was a bad time to start a battletech blog, as those are the only games I've played here of late, with another scheduled here in a about 2 weeks time. 

Working on the old 3-color minimum...

After looking at my vast horde of now and old unpainted minis the other day, and trying to decide where to start painting (again), I finally just said fuck it, and primed the Daughters of the Burning Rose as they were conveniently sitting right in front of me. 

I've since added the leadbelcher dry brushed base coat and after a lot of thinning, I managed to get my Mephiston Red sludge thin enough to use again. Cloaks are the current stage of this bunch and then after that we'll see. I honestly don't have a plan for these pretty ladies at the moment, rather am just kinda blundering along.

A skull for every base...

...and a base for every type of skull!

However, Madame Fury the Dominus in he background still lacks a base for herself...

Not much to see here I'm afraid. I've been kinda stuck in the grip of hobby paralysis the past few days. Sadly, all I've managed to get done is to add skulls onto the bases  all of my Daughters of the Burning Rose minis. 

Just about every skull type is represented meaning these ladies are present on one of the ridiculous war worlds like Vigilus or Armageddon, where inexplicably virtually every race either attacks it on their own or else more implausibly converges at once because reasons...
