Addicted to paint

Recently I reorganized my paints and realized that I may have collected more paint than I'll ever need. This was due in part that early on I hated mixing paints so I would buy as many shades as possible of each color.  No worries really as I've managed to stock pile enough miniatures in my lead pile that I will end up needing even more paint.

March of the goblins

I've completed adding some freshly painted 15mm Goblins from Demon World & Noble Miniatures along with some that have been re-based for the Pride of Lions rules for fantasy wargaming.  They were originaly based one figure per base for Armies of Arcana. I still need to add some command groups and texture the bases but I think that they are coming along quite nicely.

Blue Moon Russian 15mm WIP

An online friend of mine introduced me to General De Brigade rules for wargaming Napoleonic battles. I've started working on a Russian army for these rules. Figures for this army will be 8 per base so I decided to paint up one test base before completing the the remaining 3 of the battalion of 32 figures on 4 bases.

Blue Moon 1812 Russian 15mm Naps

So for now, a quick shot of a WIP with the base coat nearly complete.  As unit will represent the 1st Battalion of the Pskov Regiment (1st Regt/7th Division 1812) it will have red shoulder straps while the pompom on the shako will be white with a green center as they are musketeers. I also wanted to experiment with the base coat color of the trousers. I normally use a light grey but wanted something a little less stark in transition. I decided on Americana Winter Blue. It may end up a little too light in which case I can try adding in a touch of light grey if needed.
