A little bit of painting and quite a lot of new stuff

So this week was again a slow one for getting painting projects done. Only the three Dwarfs from last week have been finished. The dreadnougght saw the washes and a new big project has been started (Ah! Yes. So begins the flapping of the butterfly.) Anyhow, here is a picture of my Iron Hills Warriors up to this point.

Pict 015: Iron Hills Dwarfs (Mid January)

And now for the pictures I promised of the first purchased miniatures that will get added to my tally. It's quite a nice lot of Citadel Miniatures from the mid to late nineties; mainly Woodelfs and Bretonnians but with some Vampires and other stuff such as swarms and an Archers command group from Harlequin Miniatures sprinkled in.

Pict 016: Orion, King of the Woods (4. ed.)

Pict 017: Wood Elf General on horse (4. ed.)

Pict 018: Skaw the Falconer

Pict 019: Wychwethyl the Wild

Pict 020: Wood Elf War Dancers (4. ed.)

Pict 021: Wood Elf Scouts

Pict 022: Wood Elf Waywatchers (4. ed.)

Pict 023: Dryads (Harlequin Entlings)

Pict 024: Wood Elf Archers (4. ed.)

The Wood Elfs were my first Warhammer Fantasy Army and I always had a liking even for the older miniatures. I esspecially look forward to paint Orion and the War Dancers. But they will have to wait for some time, because I have some of their respective 6th edition versions started in my project box.

Pict 025: The Green Knight

Pict 026: Morgiana le Fey (5. ed.)

Pict 027: Suliman le Saracen

Pict 028: Bertrand le Brigand, Hugo le Petit, Gui le Gros

Pict 029: Knights of the Realm Command (5. ed.)

Pict 030: Knights of the Realm (5. ed.)

Pict 031: Knights of the Realm (6. ed.)

Pict 032: Bretonnian Archers

And that's the Bretonnians. I have started basing Bertrand, Hugo and Gui - I just love the models and hope to get to them soon, but we'll see. The plastic miniatures will all need a bit of fixing up. Some broken and bent bows, lances and headdresses will have to be glued, but I quite enjoy this part of the hobby. I will see what I will do about the missing backbanners that are missing from the Green Knight. I'll either raid my bitsbox or I'll keep a look out on Ebay.

Pict 033: Harlequin Miniatures Archer Command Group

Pict 034: Vampire Skeletons (5. ed.)

Pict 035: Vampire Skeleton Bits (5. ed.)

Pict 036: Manfred van Carstein (6. ed.)

Pict 037: Warhammer Swarms (Snakes, Spiders, Rats)

And that's it: Manfred van Carstein with some sekeletons and some animal swarms. The skeletons and animals will most likely be used in my Dungeons and Dragons Campaign to pepper my player. The skeletons wll have to be fixed as well - but I might leave some as they are now or convert them. I always liked the skeletons that are crawling out of the dirt.

And with that my Hobby Tally stands 7 miniatures painted against 156 miniatures bought (I counted the swarms as one miniature per base).
