I'm sending some minis off for friends to paint. It's a nice thing. They're specially converted minis and I'm looking forward to seeing how they paint them.
There was just one problem. I couldn't find the arms and shields that went with them. I found the bodies with no problems. I had two options - give up and try to get new ones or find those ones that came with the minis.
Guess which one I chose.
I knew I had them at last year's ReaperCon so that meant finding all the various containers with stuff from then. I finally found a box in the corner that had all the things I wanted plus a whole lotta things I knew I had but didn't have handy.
So I carefully wrapped up each mini with it's associated bits and now have packages ready to go out tomorrow for the guys who are painting my minis. They're not secret, just special.
The Reaper dwarven shield maidens are really cool, but they're missing something. Specifically, they're missing beards. Dwarves have beards. So in exchange for some Hirst Arts casts the sculptor agreed to put beards on the lovely ladies. I've had them in the painting queue for quite a while. So when my buddies asked to paint some minis for me (long story) these are the ones that came to mind.
They're unique, they're fun, and they're mine.
So this evening was spent tweaking the website Mr. Rastl has been making and then trying to find these mini parts. Now that it's done the rush is gone and I'm heading off to sleep.
