Wandering Off Hobbywise

It all Started After I Finished the C08 High Elf Collection

The mostly unpainted and unassembled Diehard Eru-Kin

As, I had finished off the high elves collection, I was thinking about what to focus on finishing next. Like most wargamers, I have a pile of Shame, Opportunity and other half finished projects. And I decided it was time to try and paint up my box of Diehard Eru-Kin. From Tim Prow's Kickstarter a couple of years ago (I really didn't think they had been waiting that long...) and provide my Slann army with its unit of Bull Slann. I have already painted up the Amazons and one Eru-Kin but the rest of the minis have sat waiting in the postage box. 

The beginnings of the Jungle display board. 

Yep I know it is missing quite a bit of jungle!

This led to a bit more thinking and wouldn't be great to have a small photography / display base for the Eru-Kin (at this point they are going to be called Slann, so I am going to stop flip flopping over names). And out came the stuff to start building a display base. 

And the beginnings of the Gangs of Rome display board. 

This led to a bit more thinking (I know it takes me a while these days), and if I was going to do one display base then I might as well do two. Since I already have large display bases for general woodland and city use. And with a new jungle one for the Slann then one for the Gangs of Rome would make a useful addition. 

The Gangs of Rome display board built. 

With a working door!

So, once I started the Gangs of Rome display base it sort of took over and then I started looking at accessories and the the Roman gangers. I have never been entirely happy with the grey colour scheme on the bases and decided they needed an update to a more brown/sand colour scheme. As well building the display bases, the painting some accessories, I then repainted the bases on the gangers. 

The questionable grey bases

That's much better.

All of the bases re-painted. Fortunately it is a slow burn project. 

So not that many done yet. 

And finally got round to painting* the wolves for my Paleo-hunt campaign, as they are needed for the next hunt. 

*Actually this is repainting as they have been painted at least two times for before. Once as hobhounds for the Bloodbath at Orcs drift scenarios and a second time as part of the wilde hunt for the Fae army.
