And February seems to be doing the same thing.....

A quick update folks..
Things have gotten nuts with real life.
I have to go to California for a week, and then come back and bounce between my three different work sites in three different states for the rest of the month, so once again "Real Life is eating up my gaming time, (and my painting time)....
On a bright side, it will give me a chance to hit "The Soldiery" once again when I am in Columbus, and maybe get some of that old time, old school, 1980-1990ish lead, (at 2015 prices), but overall my painting is going to be even more restricted.

That being said though..I did manage to get some work done yesterday.

As you know (or may not know), I have been working on my Pulp game for Aprils Little Wars convention.
"The Lost Treasure of Chili Verde" is a six player free for all where teams hunt down the clues for a missing Aztec treasure.

So I was able to buy some figs...(sigh, yes I added to my little lead mountain), and started doing some painting....

These are the figures that I ordered from Brigade Games:
First off, the Banditos "Los Vaqueros Quesos" under the command of that infamous and fearsome Bandito Leader, "El Burrito Grande"....


(Banditos! : from L to R: Paco, Pablo, Pedro, Pepe....and Karl....)

And then there are the Mexican Federales!!!!

(The Mexican Federales:  "La compañía de los chihuahuas feroces" ie: "The Company of The Fierce Chihuahuas". From L to R: El Capitan Maximillian Empanada, Corporal Jose Cuervo, Sergiente Arturo Fuente, and Privates S. Gonzales and S.P. Rodriguez. Not pictures is Private Juan Valdez, who is on coffee bean duty....

I have them currently based and primed with the base coats on the Federales. Here is hoping I can get them finished next weekend when I get back home.

More to come when I get back....
