Swell club in Cheltenham visit

Four members of Lower Swell School 'modelling club' had a trip to the Games Workshop store in Cheltenham where James gave them an introductory game.

They learned a few rules and seemed to enjoy themselves - why wouldn't they with all that scenery?

Easterlings

 These Easterlings took me ages.

Mainly because we have visitors so I'm unable to sneak in a bit of painting during the day - I have to pretend to do the garden instead.

Another reason was that I was uncertain about the 'desert'.

I tried all sorts of combinations on the bases before settling on Armageddon dust instead of my usual glue and sand/rocks.

This was followed by a coat of Vomit Brown and another of Bubonic Brown over most of the area.

Then a dry brush of Bleached Bone and finally a light dry brush of White.

The Haradrim I did earlier, have a rocky desert look as per advice from somewhere.

One other thing held up the process - varnish.

Especially when I accidentally used Gloss for their clothing and then had to cover that with matt.

As you can see, that wasn't very successful.
