Even More Quar

 

I got the thing that you wanted but were too scared to ask for;

Even More Quar miniatures.

How can you get if you don't ask?

Gotta work on your assertiveness.

Whaddaya mean you didn't ask because you didn't want?

Phish!  Lucky for you that I'm a mind reader and I know what you want.

Now lets get on with it.  

here are some pics of barely adequate painted miniatures.

Even More Quar 

Starting off with the strangest miniatures, I give you these.... things.

One part hamster, plus one part snail, plus one part elk? Minus the neck.
Something Jim Henson saw in a fever dream.

These are called Cadier, and it's just the Quar analog for a horse.  In 'The Scenario' I'm envisioning, one side will have horses loaded with explosives to go blow up a bridge.  So I ordered some Quar cavalry and just didn't paint up the rider.  It's a win-win, because I got what I wanted but didn't technically have to paint cavalry because cavalry would be two miniatures and cavalry is the WORSE thing to paint.

Moving on; back to things that walk on two legs, to proper Quar.

My Crusader faction was low on leadership and support, so I rectified that situation and provided it.

I'm a good Quar-termaster. 

I stole that joke from Ben Cato.  Whom by the way, is a big supporter of many blogs with his comments and recently started posting again on his own (see HERE).  So you probably owe him a comment or two.

And now that I've givin him the bump, he can't be mad at me at stealing his jokes.

Master of psychology is that.

Here we have a Crusader NCO.

Suitably war weary

And here are 2 Junior Lieutenants

These guys break with leadership traditions 
and carry shotguns and axes instead of swords and pistols.
How modern!

Also the uniform has a slight Village People biker vibe, 
but that might just be the way I painted them.

Fun Fact:  All the above are from the 'old metal sculpts' and all the below are the new resin releases.

Because I am super genius, I got the resin blister called "crusaders officers" which are basically the same miniatures as above but in resin form.  So now I have extras.  I guess in WWI style war, one can't have too many Jr lieutenants.  Officers always take the highest percent of the casualties.  

all painted up.
"Ma-CHO Ma-CHO Quar,
I got to be, a Macho Quar." 

(IF you got the Village People reference above then that song was not far from your mind and this joke is amazing).

Another of the new resin blisters all painted up are these with LMGs.

Really Big Light Machine Guns.

once in a while, you gotta show a miniature from the back.
just to prove the whole thing was painted.

All Crusaders Minus a Few

This wraps up the Crusader faction in those famous words.. "for now." 

I have an order pending at Zombiesmith, placed almost 2 months ago yet to arrive, for a few more Crusaders that I want to add for "the Envisioned Scenario," but until that arrives there's not much more that needs to be done. 

All Crusaders.
Tuff bunch of anteaters this.

Just in time too, because I'm out of time.  Because..

It's Here.  It's Back

My most artful enemy.

My hated foe.

The worse thing ever.

It's Summer.

Curse the tilt of the Earth!
(don't let the cute sun fool you)

Summer is the enemy of hobby time.  The kids have no school to wake up for and slowly and inevitably their bedtimes get later and later because everyone can sleep in.  Everyone but me.  I still have to get up early to go to work.  The window of free time that exists after the kids go the bed but before I go to bed shrinks away... 

What? Do hobbies while the kids are awake?  Crazy hard.  There's 3 of them and only two of us so we're already out numbered.  Plus, they like love me, for whatever reason, and always want to know what I am doing.  And WORSE, they always want me to take them outside.  OUTSIDE! Where all the dangerous animals are, like rabbits and butterflies.  

My only consolation is that summer is also the season of cleavage and short-shorts.  

But I'm getting to be too old to wear such things.

Thanks for reading.

Double thanks for writing a comment.

Till next time.
