…stays together?

At the moment, adhering to Ruth’s new Task Centred Therapy, we are sitting at the computer table painting miniatures.

For the last few days I have been stripping the paint of a number of old Grey Knight models (Games Workshop’s finest) and have been trying to set them to the current paint scheme.  It helps that I had only ever finished six of the beggars in the old scheme, a turquoise and silver theme that isn’t particularly grey or knight-like.

But they have all been under-coated, base-coated and dry brushed with the new style (pics to follow) and I’m embarking on the details tonight.

And in a spirit of encouragement Ruth has joined me.

Ages ago I had my hands on a box of Eldar Guardians, sitting on the shelf, unbuilt and unpainted.  She had painted one in the past and decided that she didn’t want to do any more.  That’s fine.  But now she has the challenge to paint each of the figures from the box (sixteen in total) in a different style to the one before it.

Hey, at this rate most of them might even be done by the time baby arrives…

    Hey if either of you feel the urge to paint the Grenadier de France circa 1756 just let me know. I have a couple of dozen still waiting in bare metal

    Aye, very good. Tell you what, I'll work on your Grenadier de France once I have nothing else on the horizon?

    Deal?

    Hmm, I refuse to commit any further…
