End Of The Week And Breathe (22)

This was never going to be an easy week. Between the flu (with a cough that makes me think I have that seventy two hour TB that's going around) and daddy daughter time, I am frankly amazed I hit my planned target. Somehow I did. Not my best work and I doubt it would win awards but I have made a dent in the numbers.

This was a week where I was concentrating on the Atomfallish  / SUderdground project. Figure painting wise, this is a new project so I am still quite enthused. I have more or less run out of minis to paint. There is some stuff on back order, some stuff pending production, waiting for dispatch and I am waiting for a few shows to see what discounts I can get. I should have about another hundred on the way with another fifty coming with The Damned sometime around July/August. Then there is the opportunity for buying another two or three boxed sets, As I have said the price keeps going up.

The first is my special forces team. It's loosely based on a S.A.S. patrol. I chose to give some of the face camouflage. This meant I had to paint the eyeballs for the first time in a decade. I like these guys so I put more effort into them.

Have painted some army guys last week, I wanted a few more and maybe some specialists. In the background these are from the Regional Control. In reality, the UK was divided into I think it was ten Regional Control Headquarters in case of a nuclear war, each having its own majoor bunker such as Kelvedon Hatch, which is well worth a visit. Eventually I would like to have e nough of these for at least a platoon sized skirmish force with some specialists.

Then come the civilians / outlaws. I did some last week but want a lot more. These should be the most generic force so I could probably pick them up and slide them into other forces, More of a militia force. Not very well equipped. They may or may not be well motivated. These are more likely to have improvised and melee weapons. 

My last group this week is a new force which as a place holder are called the Brethren. Still playing around with these but in my mind they are some form of neo nuclear pagan with a hint of mutation. Their skin colour is slightly off as a hint. I suspect I will add a few mutations. I have some treekin bits and will have some beastmen bits too. The bodies are Viking bondi bits with some WW1 and WW2 bits within any odd random bits that seemed to fit. These guys will be totally kill crazy, but lightly equipped. 

This means next week is going to have to concentrate on something else next week. With more daddy daughter time and a very busy long weekend, painting time is going to be tight. The coughing doesn't seem to be going away. I doubt will be starting anything new, so I will be dipping into the pre primed/based backlog. So it could be anything.
