Halo Fleet battles human captain and lots of terrain

Halo Fleet Battles human captain

Had a bit of a heat wave this week so in 34 degrees painting isn’t really an option, even with a wet palette.  January is always a bit of an enforced quiet time.  I did a bit of work on the Halo human captain bust.  I used the Cimmerian King flesh range but I started with a lighter base colour by adding in more VGC Bonewhite.  I wanted the bust to have a very pale look (fluro light tan ;)), tired and not that well.  After all he has been in space without any real sun for most of his life (well that’s my story).  He is going rather well and I’m thinking he may even make it for Cancon.

Just add mermaid

My daughter is slowly getting her mermaid diorama underway.  Should be able to get there :)

All the toys..

Keeping the kids occupied in school holidays time I got out all my 28mm gaming boards and terrain and let them have a play with it.  I had some 28mm Wargames Factory Persians that I had made up but were never going to be used.  So now they have been adopted by the kids to become guards of the various houses.

I also had some 28mm Wargames Factory (more bring and buy specials) Celtic calvary so I made up a figure for each for them so they can have some riders (for taking messages between houses).  Looking at all the terrain laid out I was thing that my 12 year old self would have killed for all this terrain.  Never too late for a happy fulfilled childhood.

Guarding the keep, with cars at the ready..
