4th Point of Skraeling
They're never ending!
After a 3 week break from painting, whilst the sun was out, I have managed to paint another 9 Skraeling, this time including the Warlord.
Now, the pictures not the best, and although the Warlord is painted, the base needs a little something else to snazz it up, but as yet I haven't found anything suitable, but be rest assured once I find and add something you'll be the first to know

'Saga' and 'Musket & Tomahawk' Indians
You wait for ages for a new post and 3 turn up at once....
Anyway, whilst I was painting my Blood Bowl Nurgle, all other painting slowed to an almost standstill, but now I'm back in the game.
I have finished a unit of 12 levies for my Saga Skraeling.
When I painted my first two units of Skraeling warriors, I took a lot of time on the skin (probably too much) and was worried that I, A: wouldn't be able to replicate it and B: doing it would drive me insane with the next 25 models I have.
So when it came to painting these, I took a different approach. Instead of doing a handful of mixed colours, I made the jumps a lot bigger, going from Tanned Flesh, with a flesh ink wash, to Dwarf Flesh to Elf Flesh, with a final light ink wash to hide the cloudiness of the colours.
The final result looks very similar, if not the same as my previous work, meaning that my Skraeling will be done a lot quicker, and not stress me out as much as anticipated
Before moving on to some more Skraeling, I have now moved onto my 15/18mm Musket & Tomahawk French force, starting, as I had the correct colours on my paint station, with the Indian.
They only took a few hours, including a dinner break, so I have now started on another unit, which I will no doubt blog about soon. For now here is a preview of the completed Indian unit.

2pts of Skraeling
My painting continues, and I have finished another unit of Skraeling for Saga.
Below are pictures of the new unit and the previous unit. I took advantage of a sunny morning to get some decent pictures.
I did have a unit of Levies lined up next to be painted, but with the NAF Championship creeping up on me, I have decided to make a start on my Nurgle Blood Bowl team. Sadly this will probably stop me from finishing my Skraeling by the time Salute comes around.

Injuns
I've paused my German painting for a while and have moved on to painting some Skraeling for Saga.
We haven't played enough Saga since some of us first encountered it at Salute last year, hopefully, once the rest of my force are done we will play some more of this very good game
As these figures have so much more flesh showing than a lot of models I've painted recently , I decided to undercoat them white, not only to get a much cleaner and brighter finish to the skin, but also to allow me to use some older skin coloured paints that would struggle to cover a black undercoat in less than 2 or 3 layers.
You may notice that this first unit do not have any war paint, this is mainly due to me not being confident of being able to paint if well. I am worried that it will look too artificial and ruin the over all finish of the models.
I may be more adventurous in the future and may go back and some to these figures if it goes well.

Hello Vikings, how are you?
Friday, 4 May 2012
Hey how are you...
Today the post man delivered me some Skraelings from Gripping Beast to be used in their SAGA game.
The 4pt starter army contains, 1 Warlord, 3x 8 warriors (8 different poses) and 12 levies (4 different poses), my pack also came with their unique battle board and a double sided A4 set of rules for this faction.
As a club we aren't planning to actively play SAGA for a little while, so these guys will be going somewhere safe while I concentrate on finishing my Dark Eldar, FoW Yanks and 28mm Germans...
