Chose the Nightmare difficulty task of painting in the backs of all of the shields, and got the black boots done as well. Gonna varnish these fellas tomorrow morning and then do the TMM

Painted the leather stuff tonight - I think tomorrow is going to be the last of the little acrylics (black shoes, some wood grain on the backs of the shields) and a varnish so that I can move onto the TMM

A small-detail style day after Valentine's; blacked in the panels on the shields to separate them a little more, painted in the trim on the coats, and cleaned up the faces on the two non-helmeted Men-at-Arms

Sat down for a big day of building, and put together six stands of Hunter Cadre - back to the Men-at-Arms tomorrow

Did the fronts of the shields tonight - going to try and get to the faces and leathers tomorrow

Glazed in the reds. Face touch-ups tomorrow, and maybe the blues or something

Blocked in the layers for the reds on a second stand of Men-at-Arms. I'll blend them up tomorrow and maybe revisit the faces now that I'm working with an actual light instead of in a tournament hall

Was feeling kinda headachey, so I kept things simple and built a couple of stands of Hunter Cadre. Back to the reds on the Men-at-Arms tomorrow, who you can probably see in the back of the shot

We had a last minute drop, so I'm stepping in to play rounds 4 and 5. Had an awesome game into Steel Phalanx with a great opponent on an absolutely gorgeous board

TO'ed day one of the tournament, which was a blast, got a little bit of painting done on the Men-at-Arms faces, and built a second stand of Hunter Cadre

I'm running the largest Infinity tournament in Canada this weekend, so I spent a couple hours setting up and then found time to build a stand of Hunter Cadre

Wrapped up the TMM, did a tiny bit of extra cleanup, and then painted the backs of the shields because I'm a slave to my OCD. Now I just have to pry these guys from their bases and finish them off properly

Finished the regular acrylics and varnished everything. I'm going to let it cure overnight, and then do the TMM

Painted up the leather stuff - gonna do the little black and blue bits tomorrow, some cleanup, and then the pre-varnish before getting to the TMM

Blended up the fourth of the reds on the last Man-at-Arms of the stand. Probably doing faces, eyes, and blues tomorrow

Tried out an Imperial/Feudal list tonight; Longbows and Gilded Legion did work, but I'm less convinced on the Household Guard. Gonna need to test them a bit more

Men-at-Arms number three, reds done. One more to wrap up the big block of reds for the stand

Decided I wanted to get stuck in on the red blends on the Men-at-Arms, so started with guy #1. I'll see if I can push to get through two more tomorrow

Had a really busy Robbie Burns day, so I decided to prime the Angel. I'll get to painting the Men-at-Arms tomorrow

Played into a Hundred Kingdoms mirror match for round one of today's tournament, and managed a tie! Todays goal is to go 1:2, so at worst I've sort of done that. Clutch game that came down to the last round into an excellent opponent with a beautifully painted army

Played a *brutal* game into my friends Yoroni as a last minute practice game before tomorrow's tournament, and also designed, printed up, and painted some custom markers for our match
