Painting Progress October 2022 and Song of Arthur and Merlin plans

 Some figures that I got finished this month mainly for Five Parsecs from Home and Stargrave, with one marker for Silver Bayonet/ROSD. These were largely painted with The Army Painter Speedpaints, where I've found that that it really is critical to get a smooth finish on the undercoat as otherwise the paint tends to clump around any spots.

 

For the Culwych and Olwen campaign I needed a giant which was not something I had in my collection, so I went with Reaper Bones for a Stone Giant, Cave Troll and Basilisk to give me a bigger set of large monsters to work with.

More painting progress and plans for OcTrollber painting

 Finally finished my first set of the walls and barricades I bought from Alternative Armies in the very good value pack, each type of construction comes with 12 40mm lengths, so suitable for DBA or HotT in 15mm or other miniatures games. 

 

These stone walls could be used easily with either 28mm or 15mm obviously representing a much more formidable barrier in 15mm. The following photo shows a 18mm HoF Security Force Alpha officer and a 28mm King Fernando of the Dark Elves from Flintloque for scale purposes.

 

A lot of people use October as Orktober, but not having any orcs in my painting queue, I'll be working on these Reaper Bones monsters including a troll, meaning I can make it OcTrollber.

I am also tempted to pick up some of the old Asgard Miniatures trolls that Alternative Armies have recently released and paint them too.
