Big and Small

The Lizard production continues, this time its 28 Skinks and 3 Kroxigor.

With a little conversion work the skinks have a command group using the chief and standard from the Stegadon box and a hand bell taken from the Flaggelants I am using to make my latest Blood Bowl team.

With still a good few months until the big 6k Lizard vs Skaven fight all I have left to paint is

6 Lizard swarms
15 Cold one Riders
Old Blood on Carnosaur
Skink Chief
Skink Priest
Old Blood on Cold one
Scar Veteran Battle Standard

The movement trays will be finshed once the army is done

Charge of the Light (Chariot) Brigade!

Right then, I ended my last Celt update with the question:
What next? Chariots or another unit of foot warriors?
Hands up who guessed chariots?

Smart arse!
I went with the chariots for a number of reasons namely when you think of Celt armies you think of loads of blue painted, frothing warriors backed up with thundering chariots, right? Based on that it seemed the right option.
That and they'd be easier to get done quickly!
I actually brushed the dip on these fellas and it may be something I do for the future as it was easier to control where the dip/shading went and prevented too much pooling though it possibly ends up a little too light in places. Something to review though definitely.

This brings the Celt running total up to a mighty 741 points!

Now to get on with that unit of warriors.....

Pitch and Catch

My new Blood Bowl team continue to come along steadily, this month I've painted the Throwers and Catchers.

As well as doing this I went mad and repainted all the skin on all 8 of my now completed players as I wasnt happy with the first results.

Just the 4 Blitzers to go, hopefully I'll do them this month....
