An armored rider on an armored mount — very historical.
I was gone for work the past two weekends. in fact by the time I returned on Sunday night, I had already worked over 80 hours this two week pay period — and still had five days left. I did manage, two weeks ago, however, to get a few things painted. I had the Conquistador figure (above) painted for quite some time, but I was looking for just the right mount. I found this spiky turtle creature in a bin at Historicon last month, and it called to me.
Several weeks ago, I scored some old Archive space dwarves on Ebay, and I had a chance to paint them up.

I had piggy backed on an order by Chris for Reaper Bones MCMDXLII for some snake men, a giant alligator, and a few other odds and end. I managed to paint the alligator before disappearing for ten days.

Finally, many months ago, when I ordered some Warlord bren carriers to get the crews (see previous post on this topic), they came with a kit to make some smoke markers. Mark’s recent post about making smoke markers for What a Tanker reminded me that I had this in the to-do box. While watching on TV with CINC domicile, I put them together.

Love these. The conquistador is epic. You even have some of my Archive faves here. Hoping your work schedule gets better. And I even managed to get you to inspired to pop smoke! Looking forward to BARRAGE!
