An Epic SAGA: 2nd point done!

Hi gents, and ladies. No, I didn't paint this last point in one go, in less than a day. Though I started last Friday. I used a new technique, based on white primer, inks, paints and washes. It's far from being perfect at the moment, because I'm still experimenting, but I have some ideas now, and it is fast. About 5 hours to paint those guys. You will excuse me about the pics quality but the weather is, shall we say, a bit rainy. Figures again from Gripping Beast. They were not so good this time, full of flash in small or hidden areas, Impossible to remove completely without hacking into the minis. Sad. Anyway. Now I'm onto my Third point, which who be far easier to do ;)





Non, je n'ai pas peint cette unite en une journee. Pour etre honnete, je l'ai commencee vendredi dernier, utilisant ma nouvelle technique: sous-couche blance, encres, peintures et lavis. C'est loin d'etre parfait mais je debute, j'experimente. Toutefois, je peux dire que ca va plus vite, car l'unite etait terminee en 5h environ. Les figs sont des GRipping Beasts, meme si la gravure etait moins bonne avec des defauts de moulage dans des endroits difficiles d'acces, impossibles a supprimer sans detruire la fig. Dommage.

My Epic SAGA, 1st point done


Now, on to more serious matter. I've entered a SAGA campaign at my club, and I need one, maybe two points for Thursday. Don't worry, they'll be ready. in the mean time, I have to paint 6 points for Sunday, as painting comp launched by my friend Vincent. I might be able to do it. Here is the first point, 8 warriors, from Gripping Beast. They were painted on bare metal. I think it was the last time for me, too time consuming. You'll see the next batch very soon;)





Retour sur le front SAGA, avec mon premier point termine. Il ne manque plus que les finitions sur les socles. Comme je participe a une campagne au club, il me faut 1-2 points d'ici jeudi, ce qui est largement faisable. Dans le meme temps, d'ici dimanche, je dois peindre 6 points pour la POM lancee par Vincent. Ce sera plus chaud pour moi, mais jouable egalement si je ne suis pas distrait. Les figs sont des Gripping Beasts, peintes selon  mon "ancienne" technique de peinture a meme la fig sans sous-couche. Un poil trop long pour moi, j'ai decide de changer mon fusil d'epaule.

An epic Saga about to begin

This is a good title for this post, for two reasons. First, I've finally received my copy of Saga, plus a Viking starter set, and... the dice set! Yay! I think I'm more than lucky because they're now out of stock...



So, what is the other reason? Well, I had ordered them before leaving to London, but they were sent to my former address in France after my departure... So, my parents had to get them, and then send them back to me... pheww. Anyway, I've already erad the rules and I like them. Plus, Two of the guys in my club are actually painting Normans and Saxons.. So, maybe in a few months, you'll see games set in 1066 Britain. For your information, My warlord will be called: Einhar Ragnarson. Ok, that's an easy one ^^

Salut à tous. Comme vous avez pu le constater, j'ai reçu mon exemplaire de Saga, avec un starter Viking et les dés spéciaux. J'ai beaucoup de chance sachant qu'ils sont en rupture de stock. Le truc c'est que je les avais commandés alors que j'étais encore en France. Mes parents ont dû récupérer le paquet, et me le renvoyer ensuite. Ce n'est donc que maintenant que je peux en profiter. Et je le ferai car deux gars de mon club se sont eux aussi lancés dans l'aventure avec des Normands et des Saxons. Alors, à bientôt pour les aventures d'Einhar Ragnarson.
