Update 23rd July 2009

I'd all but finished the steed rider and decided to varnish him as the paint kept chipping away on the elbow and knuckles where he was resting on the table. Sadly, there was a varnish disaster and I've been knocked back a few steps. The varnish (which is a satin finish) went very milky and very glossy and covered up most of the shading. I've managed to fix the glossyness and to get some of the depth back to the mini but it needs at least another highlight on all of the colours again now. All the advice is to test the varnish on a painted piece of sprue but you always think you're beyond such advice and that's when it happens!



Also, thought I'd tack this onto the post quickly. This is the haul I've managed from all of the money I got for birthday a fortnight back. Still waiting on 1 more box of troops. Not going to tell you what they are other than they're non-chaos but full of conversion possibilites. Should keep me busy for the rest of the year!



I have a quick run down of my current list I'm trying out for my gaming club's tournament. It's a bit different. I tried it against High Elves on Sunday and had mixed results. We had two games, the first went very badly for me. I was a little too cautious and made it too easy for the Elves. The second game we never got to finish but would have been a lot more interesting as at the end of turn 3 it was hanging in the balance.
