Stick them with the pointy end...

(I'm going to regret having used this blog post title already if I ever get round to making an Arya Stark, but everything else I thought of was absolutely terrible...)

Well, onto the point of this post - I finished this beauty this week:

A promo resin from Westfalia Miniatures. When I got her last Salute, I vowed to myself that I would get her painted up straight away, rather than taking most of a year like the previous one, but here we are having taken a fortnight longer than that. I started off strong, getting her based and undercoated, and painted her skin, then stalled. Fast forward several months of me looking at her in my painting queue sadly, telling myself I couldn't do her beautiful sculpt justice.

But then, Salute loomed on the horizon, and I found myself gazing into the painting queue once more after finishing the garages and plucked out a few half-finished gems that caught my eye and managed to get her finished up in less than a week.

She's got a real Anna Henrietta from The Witcher vibe to her that I really enjoy:

I still think that my painting skills aren't up to the job of really doing justice to this sculpt, but it was such a pleasure to paint that I'm glad I plunged ahead!

My wife has recently ordered herself a mini photo booth to take pictures for her business, so even if the painting doesn't get any better, the photography may well do soon...

She isn't the only movement on the Tally though, as my Necromunda pre-order arrived:

Mad Donna and Kal Jericho, that I've coveted for years, and so jumped at the chance when they were made available again, despite my vow to save all my pennies for Salute.

Tally:

8 vs 3 = +5

In other news, whilst digging through my collection of half-finished projects I pulled out my Sisters of Battle miniatures and thought that I should probably get around to finishing them, and the next day they announced that they were coming back in plastic, so I may in fact be magic.

In other other news, I've listed some spare bits and bobs on eBay to make some Salute spending money, so if you want to buy some you can do so here to further perpetuate the cycle of me acquiring toys.
