Blackstone Fortress and some Gauls for a change

I picked up Blackstone Fortress at a Boxing Day sale over the hols and started with the easiest models - sentry drones, Ur-ghuls and a couple of mutant imperial guard.




Then my chum Jon expressed an interest in playing some Warhammer Ancient Battles so he can get motivated to finish his Imperial Romans, this inspired me to dig out my Celtic hordes and even paint a blister of Foundry Gauls that have been in my unpainted Ancients box forever. Nice figs - as one expects from Foundry. I experimented with doing flesh by airbrush and wash. Always fun to paint the hairy guys!

  1. Nice work on all of them Dave. How are you enjoying air brushing? Did you buy one of those painting stations with the venting?

  2. You mean a spray booth? Yes I reckon it's essential. I use my airbrush just about daily.

  3. Yes I meant a spray booth! Did you get it locally or have to order it online?

  4. Honestly I can't remember - I might have bought it at Hobby Wholesale (it's a Paasche model) since shipping is absurd to order online.
