This is a holiday week in the States (Thank you for your service, veterans!) which means that I have slightly less time for hobby. I could have packed up my paints and brought them home but... to be honest, I'm usually pretty busy at home so I don't know how much I would have gotten done.
That said, I did grab my Trollkin kriel warriors and scattergunners so I could work on their bases while I'm home. Rather than just glue them down and leave the giant gaping slot in the base, I use Procreate to mold a ground and hold the feet in place. Oh course I don't have a lot of Procreate floating around since I haven't used it since I did the Trollkin for my Frostgrave warband, but I had just about enough. Maybe?
Since I had three scattergunners that were assembled before, I decided to base two more of them and then a full five kriel warriors. Ideally I'd prefer to have two units of five warriors, but I'm not sure I have enough to base them all. Then again, I do have the original metal minis but they are pretty small compared to the plastic ones. They will work to fill the ranks but I'm glad I picked up the plastics.
Something that I did find surprising is that Privateer Press used the same bodies for the gunners and the warriors, just with different arms and bits. Now I've just got to make sure that I don't mix up which bodies go with which sets. Not sure how well they would swap so I'll just keep them separated until I get the arms on.
This also leaves me in something of a conundrum. I like the plastics more than I thought I would, so there are two more sets that I've got my eyes on. Then again, I've actually got a good number of points already so... not sure how that will play out. Suppose I'll figure it out once I actually get the minis I have finished. Until next time...
