I received resin from my local printing pal and I’m happy to have the final pieces to the army. I now only need to build up my warmachine diorama as I did with the Arabian Knights and put out some Creatures. I won’t add images yet as I’m working on the Indians simultaneously and I have perhaps too many irons in the fire. I’m doing pretty well in stopping myself from running away to anything new and being coralled to a small area of my growing collection that is being completed. It also helps that I can’t fit any more bases onto the movement tray.

Like the two armies before this I need to do a piece of significant terrain for SAGA Age of Magic which I don’t count. Its just a part of the process.

As I wait for my 3D print guy to figure out the finer points of Blender to connect parts for a banner topper to a unit of my Indian army I have painted some stuff for my Shieldmaidens. The models were already printed and standing by for paint. These are a couple more steps towards completion. I just need quite a bit more now in order to kitbash. I still have an unfinished Sigrið which will likely get some love while also jumping back and forth with the effort on the Indians.

Keeping some variety to bounce back and forth with allows me to stat engaged. This will be a race to finish what I can before an army build for November when I’m planning to teach SAGA Age of Magic. Making sure I keep moving toward completing this is the grind I willingly pursue. “The fight is the prize”- Bjørn Andreas Bull-hansen.

A good update to this project as I await more things to come through with my Indians. I have gotten a print of the ice wyvern from Sordane Publishing and it is great. My copy of a valkyrie from Bombshell Miniatures has been assembled and also sits awaiting to be painted. I have also found a set of figures to add to my travel board to fill up some space in options in play.

There will be three wereboars from Epic Miniatures, on Myminifactory, like Freya’s boar Svinhildi that will be modded to have breasts and keep with a generally all woman army. I believe this will make up a good set of bipedal Creatures for play and generally keep visual attention of anyone just looking over the army.

There will also be a warmachine option which will become a project unto itself as I do something similar to my cannon for the Arabian Knights. I shall have a catapult with an ammunition loading female troll. Next to her I will have extra ammunition sitting at the ready for use (all minus skeletons). Since I have extra metal shieldmaidens from basic set I’ll put those to use directing fire. All in all its one more thing to say “I be building shit”.

Now, is there anything else I might be missing?……

I have finished up the frost giant for this army and she is not the same as you find in the series My Hero Academia. I’m glad to be done and so so with the paint job. Done is better than perfect and for a playing army this does the job. I’m late putting this up as the hair braids broke a couple of times and the crown required repair after dropping. Resin is good for detail but crap for impact resistance.

As I showed before this is the size of the cyclops so it stands well on the table for monstrous scale. I’m pleased with the 90x120mm oval as it doesn’t unduly tower over other models. I debated on adding more to it in order to bring more attention off the figure but thought better of it. More is less and less is more for focus.

One mounted unit is complete and finished with only a bit of an issue with cast spears. Yep, not much of a fan on these as the spears don’t sit very well. Despite being epoxied a couple fell off with regular handling and have since been repaired. I finished these to get them out the door so no eyes as its a teaching force anyway.

The detail of the eyes was an issue. As with all others its tricky. My hobby space is cluttered and I had to make do with moving to the kitchen. The light isn’t as good there so a delay ensued as I did my beat ro work there. I’ve made do to get this done and reminded myself its just going to be a loaner anyway. I’m proud of my handiwork and that pride is what pushed me to the details.

Aside from that I had to wait for the ModPodge to dry up so I could have the flock and snow not show up as blobs of glue. With these units out of the way I think I’m about halfway done.
