That week zoomed by quickly! Another instalment of Miniature Monday is already upon us – although I\’ll be adding a couple of things at the end of this post that concern other topics too!
Stormblood Guard

This week for the Stormblood Guard, I have mostly been sticking Paladins together. These are fantastic models and I am a fan of their big, pointed sticks. And the one lurking at the back with the boppy mace! I\’ll have to wait for the weather to improve before I can prime them again (The story of a UK hobbyist in Autumn/Winter!)
Daemons

This weeks, I\’ve been working on the layers for my Tzaangors – they\’re good fun to paint because of the more colourful colour combination. I\’ve got a fair handful yet to do before the unit can be called finished though!
Cities of Sigmar
![\"\"](\"https://tragicfangirl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/dread.jpg?w=1000\")
Just a minor update on the Cities of Sigmar army. I\’ve put some base coat and washes on a unit of Dreadspears and base-coated and washed a Wizard that has a dubious attachment to staffs…
![\"\"](\"https://tragicfangirl.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/wizard.jpg\")
These, a bit like the rest of the Tzaangors need layering up and finishing off. I\’ll see what I can do on that front this week… but…
Other news

My Father-in-Law was having a clear out of his books and I couldn\’t resist his fiction collections. In here there is a lot of Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden and Simon Scarrow; mostly Historical Fiction with the exception of the Game of Thrones books. I\’d like to be a bit more \’serious\’ on the book blogging front and this liberation of books has given me the spur I think I needed to fully embrace what was already happening – a shift in blogging purposes.
I\’ve been thinking of taking my own photographs of books for the blog and instagram and this is one I took earlier today with some of the things I have laying about.

I have another idea in mind for some pictures, that are a little less… fluffy! I\’ll see how it goes and share the results when I have them done.

I’m currently listening to Sharpe’s Tiger, so far it’s a great audiobook though it’s a story to pay attention to rather than background audio. I’ll keep an eye out on your Sharpe content. 🙂

I really need to start reading Cornwall. I like fiction. I like history. I like war stories. Pretty sure I will like his books.

You’re right there is a new Sharpe book, Sharpes Assassin, I’ll be getting it once I’ve read the ones I have.
Thank you for the compliments on the Tzaangors, it’s nice to be able to paint something colourful.
