For many very dull reasons, mostly related to a promotion at work and all the extra work that that entails, I've not been doing much painting or gaming in the last six months. That's changed a little, as work gets a bit easier and also I have been re-invigorated by a boy's gaming weekend and doing some gaming, especially with the Lord of the Rings LCG with my son (and solo- but that's not as good).
When I'm re-energised for gaming I always get painting, even when the games don't necessarily use miniatures. So for your delectation I present:
Some Lord of the Rings Wood Elves, which are quite nice, but they do suffer from the same problems as all of those LotR scale plastics, namely that the faces are a little bland in the sculpt.

Then Gildor Inglorion, who wasn't quite finished in the photo above. If you don't recognise him from the film, he should have rescued the Hobbits while they were leaving The Shire, but he got cut. Also if you don't recognise him, then you should read the book. I believe that the miniature might be singing ;)

And finally some good old Space Marines that have been sitting on my workbench for ages. These Vanguard Veterans suffer from the same problem that the Sternguard do in that they are a bit too busy for their own good. They are also the final miniatures that were bought for me by Mrs. Holdenstein at the launch of the last Space Marine Codex. My Hall of Shame has resisted the particular indignity of not having been painted while an entire edition goes by. The eagle-eyed amongst you will also notice a slight painting error that I only noticed in the picture, and which I am repairing at the moment.

Once again, I hope that it won't be too long again between updates.
