Man I really fell short this month. December will be all about getting my yearly goals finished buckyball

I painted another game token from Marvel United https://www.flickr.com/photos/194547866@N07/53339138663/in/dateposted-public/ buckyball

I didn't enjoy the Mars Attacks game. The miniatures are very cool though. So I hope I enjoy Grimdark enough to use them.

I am working on painting up the rest of my Mars Attacks martians. I managed to paint just enough of them to play the game. But I didn't enjoy the game. So they have been sitting in a box for years now. buckyball

I didn't do that well last month. So this month I need to concentrate on painting miniatures in my annual box and getting caught up with Mithril minis What are people planning on painting this month? My goals for the month are: Paint a game token from Marvel United continue working on Mithril miniatures for the quarter Paint half the remaining figures from the annual box. Paint the last viking from the set I was given back in Spring Paint a terrain piece for Rangers of Shadow Deep buckyball Hobby goals for 2023 Painting one large terrain piece each quarter or several smaller pieces. The goal here is to complete enough, to use in a game or scenario [Check!] Painting the 17 miniatures in my annual box [ 15 so far] Painting one game token each month [ 11 so far ] Painting three Mithril miniatures each quarter. This works out to an average of one per month; but this way I can paint them in batches [ 9 so far] I also have the unusual goal of not buying any miniatures (for myself) in 2023. I have no idea how I will accomplish this. [Update: I went to Reapercon and bought a bunch of miniatures]

Thanks for doing this SamuraiJack the Secret Sophie exchange is a fun event to do each year. buckyball PS. My response has been recorded

Wait what? We cant post? Did I miss something? What if we had already posted before we learned about the contest? buckyball

Could you tell us what is involved in running the Secret Sophie? What are the deadlines and commitments? And most importantly, if we volunteer do we get to also participate? buckyball

Great job. I really like the highlights on the coat. This was the figure I used as a ranger for Rangers of Shadow Deep. We called him Rob Anybody https://scontent-den4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/225338938_10159523675713926_7945975119053298968_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5f2048&_nc_ohc=1P1NWtO35rMAX89qKkS&_nc_oc=AQnJZJPN_JDeo__nmaHLGvwhV8cpgSb4i-M0jKkWdOeCM4PSa3sgT0U390EhvJ_2j5fEbvZuxTjcIxHuzAfryct7&_nc_ht=scontent-den4-1.xx&oh=00_AfB_wgZliePjq21YNUzTtht5CMtc9lj4INleORXKK_opKQ&oe=652E1BD2 buckyball

That veil is really good. What is this from? buckyball

I started with 3775 Tengu Wizard and turned it into a gloom ranger armed with a bow https://www.flickr.com/photos/194547866@N07/53306208752/in/dateposted-public/ buckyball

I have a question about the Box of Goodwill for the people who participate; what do you hope to find when the box comes to you? What do you look forward to finding? For me it is two things. First really old metal minis especially Mithril or Minifigs that can go in my collection. Secondly I often go for miniatures from recent kickstarters that I didn't back, but was tempted by. Often with these, the backers' reward is a large group of minis, some I might want and many I don't. I pass on these more often than not because I really don't need large numbers of miniatures I probably wont paint, just to get a few I will. So for me, being able to get these second chance minis is a big plus for the Box of Goodwill. What about you guys? buckyball

I have made some more conversions for the game Rangers of Shadow Deep. These started as Merrow creatures and I converted them into Humpbacks for the expansion Dungeons Dark https://scontent-den4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/378840777_10161097733073926_5589029491982502315_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=4c1e7d&_nc_ohc=nDCoswSac2IAX90Rc-G&_nc_ht=scontent-den4-1.xx&oh=00_AfB7BbW-5tBbz_aImaRQLhmBuv9m1aRG04uu30ifgB9IKg&oe=650EC568 buckyball

I also have an unpainted astrolabe. How did you get it to stay standing up? Mine keeps bending and leaning over buckyball

This is kind of cool. I needed an evil wizard for the game Rangers of Shadow Deep. The 'bad guys' in that game wear skull masks. So I wanted the wizard to have one. So instead of painting a regular wizard and giving him a mask, I started with a lich and painted him to be human. I also had to use some filler putty to hide his ribcage. https://scontent-den4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/375763156_10161087302753926_866141642872122157_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg&_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=4c1e7d&_nc_ohc=NCCAsY0kiuwAX_21ipJ&_nc_ht=scontent-den4-1.xx&oh=00_AfCaM9TPgiqb5au8HqQKpYrDk5IxXl7vpzlnZx_YNXNHjA&oe=650140A1 buckyball

I also fell short. My trouble was that I spent too much time getting ready for bubonicon and Reapercon, and that cut into my painting. It was worth it though since gaming at both conventions was exceptional buckyball

What are people planning on painting this month? My goals for September are: Paint a game token from Marvel United continue working on Mithril miniatures for the quarter Paint two figures from the annual box.

Here are some conversions I am working on. They are supposed to be creatures called humpbacks which are kind of a cross between a camel and an ogre. I am waiting on skull helmets to complete them. https://scontent-den4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/371760486_10161065136333926_1496544845604929829_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5cd70e&_nc_ohc=jrVYI_y-mEQAX_iu79h&_nc_ht=scontent-den4-1.xx&oh=00_AfAghWop5aKYfk2IKhJcKQczckHOtvqV4ilQ_pf_dgN15w&oe=64F30C3B buckyball

I own the Highwayman but I have never seen the fox version buckyball

I needed a second humpback for the game Rangers of Shadow Deep. Humpbacks are mutant camel people that are the size of ogres https://scontent-den4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/358696326_10161007317713926_3034955813001522564_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg&_nc_cat=109&cb=99be929b-3346023f&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5cd70e&_nc_ohc=uyr3MCXkfoYAX_SJa4d&_nc_ht=scontent-den4-1.xx&oh=00_AfCM94vjDa6whkHDdo6Jeb4VQPmOANFNt4iNO2Tta1s60A&oe=64CB9316 Here is a picture of the conversion next to the original Humpback figure from Northstar miniatures https://scontent-den4-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/364745093_10161007317733926_7440866615555425573_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&cb=99be929b-3346023f&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5cd70e&_nc_ohc=HgDsGbDnnjsAX9Vxn-A&_nc_ht=scontent-den4-1.xx&oh=00_AfDTJ9_mlBflymVherjt8yjTI6fP9lH_BIn5r8aBuysxIw&oe=64CC9938 I would have done more.
