Grog Finds His Spiders

 Like Many People perhaps Not Much Painting Going On!

With the lure of better weather, not surprisingly other things have taken over from painting. Like drinking beer in the garden/pub. Still I have managed to finish a few things. But mostly everything seem in progress. 


Firstly I did manage to finish the trio of giant spiders which have been sitting patiently for some time.  Recently a friend did give a copy of Frostgrave and I am thinking these might come in handy for that as well. But these were painted up as an animal handler unit for the Fae.  These were from the Pound shop as part of Halloween decorations but I think they make perfectly useable spiders at a fraction of the cost of 'Wargames figures'. 


Also got round to painting up some of the Sprites/Faeries  from Eureka Miniatures. The sprites work out about 33p each so I can afford to use them as familiars and as adding character to larger units / scenery. i Plan to make a large unit of figures, bulked out with specials and minor characters.
