Hobby Progress - 2013 Day 4

I sat down tonight and went through my bin of unpainted Lord of the Rings miniatures.

This is always a hard thing to do.  I barely ever play the game, and although I do enjoy it when I play, I'll be the first to admit that it is a tactically limited system that I don't find particularly challenging.

Still, I find the game entertaining, I like the miniatures, and I believe in a world where all miniatures have the right to be painted (okay - not so strongly on that last one).

At any rate, having tallied up my Rohan models, I see that I have somewhere in the ballpark of 600 or so points (almost exclusively Riders and Warriors of Rohan).  As such, I figure there's no harm in committing to painting all my Rohan models by the end of March.

Today, after getting some work related writing knocked out, I dedicated my evening to hobby progress.  And I got quite a bit done.

Tonight, I did the following:
 - put the first armor wash on 1 Swamp Troll, 10 Fennblades, and 1 Chronicler
 - did the final skin highlight, the carapace basecoat, and stretched skin wash on a Stinger
 - cleaned and primed 11 Warriors of Rohan with hand weapons and shields
 - painted the base and put down the first base of color on the plants of a terrain piece I've been working on

More to come.
