I have been unhappy with the Blogger platform for many years, and am always searching for better ways for hobbyists to engage with one another. Instagram is far, far from ideal, but it and FB seem to be where the critical mass of us are, and so I'm giving Instagram an honest effort.
Been sharing a lot last few weeks and lots more where that game from. I'm username warlockofleadmountain. Let's connect!
Plan to keep this blog up and may occasionally post something that can't be said in the short form Instagram format.

Wars of the Roses
Sharing another WIP project here. When my local historical club embarked on a group Wars of the Roses project last summer, I threw in. I'd already had figures for it and I'd never done a big group project before.
Just time for an off-the-cuff post here.
Here's a force I played recently.
And here they are in the field. This may not have been the same night.
This week I'm finally finishing off the foliage on all the figures, so they'll be ready for their glamor shots. In the meantime, here are some WIP shots from a bit earlier than the above.
Front Rank archers in blue and murray and Old Glory gallowglass.
Did a bunch of head swaps on the gallowglass (there are five sculpts). Does it show?

Dungeon Degenerates WIP
Here's what I'm up to at the moment. Dungeon Degenerates!
I am working to have them literally glow under black light.
Here are some of the paints I'm using. The fluorescent Vallejo colors can be airbrushed successfully (except the blue kind of sucked), and I paint them with a brush, but there they are much more of a glaze, and need to be on a solid, bright foundation.
Got out the airbrush for the first time in a long time:
Before that happened, and actually before the Vallejo colors had arrived, I had started the two that had appropriate paints for already:
I spared no expense to get the white base very white, and the colors to glow. No tricks on any of these photos. Here you can see what a difference in style from my usual:
Here's where I am as of yesterday. L-R in order of most complete:
Two shown are done, and after I took the pics I finished the corpse burner and the next two just need a few tweaks to the base. Another push or two!
And I'll leave you with:
Till next time!
