| (L-R) Sarah Jane, Leela, Nyssa |
I think they are okay, but I got so fed up with Nyssa that I just settled for a single colour and a wash. Too frustrating trawling Google and finding page after page of pictures of her in some kind of velvety looking brown/purple clothing which seemed to be the costume the figure had on. So she just got what she was given in the end.
Just because I know wargamers are a nosey bunch, here is the current state of my work area. Roughly going from left to right:
- Dug out my 15mm zombies after watching the first season of The Walking Dead back to back on Monday. Okay, it is only six episodes, but still! I need to base these properly but have been putting it off. I've got more figures out of shot which need working on. As for the TV show, it was good, but I had to force myself a little to take it on its own merits rather than compare it to the comic, which (ironically some might say) managed to convey the humanity of the characters much better than the show did. Characters were added to the show for no real reason and major plot points added or removed for zero benefit. But let's be clear, both myself and my wife really enjoyed it, it probably just helps if you haven't read the comics.
- Behind this are some unpainted Skaven which used to be my Blood Bowl team but are going to be reappropriated for Warhammer 3rd Edition.
- To the right of the Skaven is the unit of beastmen I rush-painted in a day to see what would happen. I'd put them on the table, but there is a reason I have not posted a photo!
- On the mat, in the back row, several plastic Space Marines in various states of paintedness, for Rogue Trader. There are more still on sprues in the top left of the picture. There is something strangely exciting about knowing you are working on figures which are about 20 years old and haven't been used before.
- In front on the left are Sarah Jane, Leela and Nyssa waiting for their flock to dry.
- Finally, to the right of the Doctor Who figures are the Skaven who started all this mess on my table. I find painting blocks of troops to be hugely dull, so I need other projects around to break things up a little. It doesn't help that once I have these done I have another 20 waiting for me. Will I ever manage to paint a whole Skaven army?!
I too noticed this change, not sure I like it. You need to go to the followers, then click 'join this site' to follow a new blog.
ReplyDeleteLove the Sarah-Jane mini, where did you get the companion minis?
I wasn't sure if it was just a setting I managed to change by mistake. Seems not. I just added the blog of a new follower, but it was a pretty longwinded way to go about it!
DeleteMy Doctor Who figures are all Black Tree. The only exception is some of the UNIT soldiers in my last post. Oh, and also my Daleks and Weeping Angels, which are toys from the Doctor Who Adventures Magazine.
I love seeing where other people work, mostly to steal ideas. Got to say I'm a little envious of the space, perched as I am on the edge of the dining room table.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of the room is covered in boxes. When we moved from south Wales to the West Midlands we decided to rent a flat while we figured out where we might like to buy a house. Three years later and we are still here... So basically I have managed to carve myself a niche in the storage room. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate having the space, but it isn't as nice as it might seem to be shut away there for a few hours! The photo is taken from about the only place you can stand!
DeleteOh, and despite having zero space, my wargaming possesions have managed to at least quadruple in the last few years. Moving it all out will be a nightmare!
Good work on those Companions - two of my favorites (I always thought Nyssa was a whiny pain in the neck, and Adric as well.).
ReplyDeleteThanks. I mainly included Nyssa as she has an ability in the Miniatures Game that the others don't have, so I wanted the Doctor Player to have a good selection of options. From the 5 or 6 I've painted they will pick 2 with the chance of random events bringing others into play during the game. That's the idea anyhow!
DeleteNice work on the Doctors companions. I look forward to seeing the 15mm zeds!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm worried that I seem to be falling back into the 'too many projects at once' trap, but we'll see how it goes...

ReplyDeleteJust for info, I removed this as it appeared to be disputing the value of a certain social network and not anything to do with this blog post. I imagine it was a spam item and not something the author intended to post.
