Yesterday's family afternoon saw three of us painting and building, so here are some photos of the wide range of things we had on the table.
Jakob grabbed one of the Tau and gave it dark red armor. |
Kilian continued on one of his Grey Knights. This is a half way snapshot, by now the bolter has a nice, flashy red-white striped design and the mini is ready for the final varnish. |
And then I did something I rarely spend time on: terrain building. |
I had recently discovered I still had a few unbuilt cardboard models for village houses left. These must still be from the time many years ago when I built 6mm Napoleonic armies for an 1813 campaign, using minis from Heroics and Ros. They also offered these cardboard sheets for buildings, I think.
The cardboard buildings are easy and fast to assemble, have very fine printed detail and are easy to store, set up and also move out of the way. When units occupy the village, you can shift buildings a little bit to free up space for the unit bases without changing the overall shape of the settlement much.
