Based up the first stand of Men-at-Arms! Really happy with how they turned out

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

Painted in the shields, and got the faces done on the Men-at-Arms. Probably blues and leathers tomorrow

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

Switched gears, and painted a pair of Goltr with my son for his Nords

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

Popped in the start of the TMM to get everything blocked in on the third Men-at-Arms stand

Decided that I needed to do a bunch of pre-tournament building, so I put together another three stands of Household Guard. One more to build and then the lot to prime before Saturday

Did a little bit of cleanup, glazed in the shield colours overtop the brown, popped in the blue, and started the eyes on the two Men-at-Arms who are cool and decided not to wear their helmets. TMM block-in tomorrow

Blocked in the woods and the leathers on a third stand of Men-at-Arms. Blues, blacks, and touch-ups tomorrow

Played an IRL game (which I forgot to take photos of again, naturally) and then got a TTS game afterwards, so here's a picture of that

Made some snap decisions over my lunch hour, and blocked in the rest of the Standard Bearer

Second stand of Men-at-Arms all blocked in, other than the standard which I'll do tomorrow
