Tabletop Workbench Dez. 2023

 Zum Jahreswechsel ein paar Schnappschüsse vom Maltisch Ende 2023.

Bemalt: russische 2. Grenadiere mit Batallionsfahnen und Trautmannsdorf Kürassiere für die Reichsarmee bzw. die Habsburger

 

In Vorbereitung fürs Grundieren: die restlichen Trautmannsdorf Kürassiere und einpaar russische Panduren oder Kosaken

Fertig lackiert und verpackt als Weihnachtsgeschenk für meinen Patensohn, mit dem ich die Figuren angemalt habe: die aktuellen Blood Bowl Zwerge.

Nur im Zeitlupentempo gehts voran für meine WH40K Wüstenkämpfer, aber ein oder zwei Malabende hatte ich 2023 doch reingesteckt.

Workbench May 2023

One new thing is on my workbench: as a joint project with my godson we have started a Blood Bowl dwarves team. I think we came up with a nice color scheme of blue uniforms and brass armor.

Regarding my flats, I avoid getting bored by mixing parts of units. That keeps things interesting but also means I often have many incompletely painted units waiting for their missing comrades.

Painted, gloss-coated and ready for basing: Hessen-Darmstadt infantry (top) and Austrian Esterhazy hussars (bottom)

Primed and ready for painting: more Russians and some Austrian cuirassiers 

To my pleasant surprise both of the painted sets of minis were the second half of their respective units, so I could actually put the units together.

Well, nearly ready - except I was one painted infantry base short of getting the Hessen-Darmstadt guard infantry ready to go... 

So here are the results.

Austrian Esterhazy hussars, selected because some Hungarian reenactors have standarts online that are from a later time but at least believable for this unit
