Now this was great fun to do. The markers made it so easy. Was dreading cracking out the airbrush but this took about an hour and a half of work at most whilst listening to We Have Ways and the seige of Malta.

Picked up some of the AK german AFV marker pens having seen @stormofsteel.bsky.social giving them a whirl and I am definitely impressed. Work of minutes to get camo up on 5 different AFVs and a pak 40. Using colourforge ossified earth as the prime.

The bayonet has definitely plunged deep. Can't seem to put these down at the minute. Female I'm calling done, rest of the lads have had masks highlighted and flesh tones done. The rest can wait for a while.

A touch more work on the female cultist. Not super happy with lapel and shoulder colour so may yet change this. And need tonbring the skin tone up a but but otherwise, starting to get there.

I did promise myself that I'd get back to The Silver Bayonet and managed to grab some time once the kids were in bed to get these Cultists all basecoated up. Streaking grime next and then a quick dab of highlights...

First printed mini primed and zenithaled. That this came out of a tank of goo in my spare room blows my mind. Lessons definitely learned on slicing and printing workflow. Looks like I'll be building an early war platoon as well. Need to get the Blitzkrieg book as well then I guess.

Second clash of Pillage! on the table today - the river ran red with blood. Epic saga worthy fight as the two chiefs mutually slaughtered each other with the final swing of their blades. The tattered remnants fled. Really enjoying this game! Great fun for the kids. And me!

Set up a table to play Pillage! with the kids. Second time with it and really enjoying the ebb and flow of the system. Next time, I think we'll try out weather and morale rules now we have a solid handle on moving, shooting and melee.
