Warmaster Weekend Tomb Kings

I once said they were finished. They are, but these last 3 were left overs from the Cali trip. I never finished painting, based or flocked them. Now the Tomb Kings are done!

I chopped out the normal leader dude. The bone thrower leader dude took his place. More Egyptian looking cat.

Warmaster weekend.

The goal for the 2019 will be continuing the Warmaster Weekend efforts. This up coming year will be Samurai, Araby, Romans, Successors, Spanish. These are the mugs to get done. And done they will get. Unlike other New Year goals, I started already.

Cartho WIP

Roman WIP

Araby I am pretty happy with the regular arab infantry. The elite purple dudes will most likely end up as place holders until I find a better choice.

Terrain

The fields are kind of busted. Past the end of their life. I will be slowly making them useful again, with a finish date of AdeptiCon. I ripped all the hedging and crap stones of the edges. The fur was cut down to fit the building (old glory) and to extend the walls. The wall pieces are from Terrain Concepts.

Paint stirring sticks, boxes, and spears

I paint while traveling for work. In doing so I drag minis all over the world. Normally a short trip will fit in my traveling GW case. Longer trips a pack a large GW case. This is all well and good if painting 28-15mm dudes. Or if healing too much lead, my carry on is heavy enough to break a Peruvian sherpa.
Once you start packing 10s or dudes mounted to speed painting sticks another container is needed. If not, they all pop off the sticks.

All my old school sticks have metal glued to the bottom and they travel in a plastic lunch box with a magnet sheet in the bottom.

Now that I am gearing up for 10mm ancients, I need a new system. My spears are getting smashed, bent, and broken. I had been using popsicle sticks for 10s and layering them into a small Chessex case. This method bends the crap out of every single spear. It sucks.

The change came about when I went balls deep into 10mm samurai. Castle Arts’ samurai, now out of production. Can’t be replaced. Bent spears and busted off flags can’t happen. How to travel with them?
This time out Home depot special. 10 pack of house paint stirring sticks for 1.99. Plastic small parts box for 1.99. The sticks I snapped in half. Which is the perfect length for the boxes.

The little thingies that hold the dividers squeeze the stir stick just enough that there is zero shifting around in side. Some foam on top stop any abuse from bags getting tossed around while traveling.
