#test of honour

[tzekkaz]

Work in progress: Samaurai, Ashigaru and more

My desk is full of projects at the moment, maybe too many if I'm being truthful. The first on the desk is my Romans that were my experiment in speedpainting with Army Painter speed paints, they've been lurking on my desk just primed for a few years now. Second up is the 8th Army soldiers for my North African desert rat army. There are some 15mm tanks for a d-day themed desert rat army. Finally we have a number of Samaurai and Ashigaru for Test of Honour, I've got as far as priming them, but I'm stumped as to how to paint the Ashigaru. I've decided on black armour for them, but I have an issue with the clothing, some accounts say they wear clan colours. Other accounts say they wore whatever they had available

Well that's all that's on my desk right now

Until next time

Happy hobbying

LOOK AT THEM READING TOGETHER,,,i can hear them bickering already. jj constantly telling reid she wasnt done and him bitching before turning the page back. the reason theyre making the faces they are is because reid has read this page five times already and jj has told him a thousand times to wait until she says she's done before turning the page but he doesn't LISTEN!!!

Model Showcase: The Shinobi sisters

Employed to do espionage and military deception as well as helping out in sieges, the ninja or shinobi first appeared in Japanese records during the Sengoku period. Ninja means 'one who is invisible', and Shinobi means 'one who sneaks'. They would specialised in infiltration and guerrilla warfare.

The Shinobi sisters are from Bad Squiddo games and are female ninjas that, according to Bad Squiddo's website, may be sisters....then again they might not be.

The Shinobi sisters are for use as the leaders of my ninjas for Test of Honour. I painted them up primarily in vallejo black-grey. The pouches I painted up in orange brown and leather brown, both vallejo paints. The hilt of the sword and the bow were painted black, and the blade of the sword gunmetal grey. The bases were a challenge for me as I wanted to do something different so after using European earth diorama effect I added various flock and clump foliage, I used some flower tufts also from Bad Squiddo games and I was done, or so I thought. I thought about it and didn't like the fact that the feet were obscured by the foliage, a thing of mine. I decided to remove the foliage and mud effect and start again, this time I used less foliage and flock and had the mud effect showing through, I'm happy(ish) with the results. I'm still tempted to change them for a snowy base, but I'm not sure, only time will tell if I decide too.

Anyway, that's enough of my rambling

Until next time

Happy hobbying!

one fine day, eames learns the phrase “lean mean fighting machine” and refuses to call arthur by anything else for a good month.

obviously, he aims to woo arthur but fails by a mile cause OF COURSE the only word arthur zeroes on is “mean” and refuses to meet the forgers eyes in the said month.

safe to say no productive dream thievery was done for a total of thirty days

Short Prompt # 11

TW: Blood, restraints, murder mention, injury, captivity

Not edited

If Hero had hit rock-bottom before, this was infinitely worse. They vividly remembered the cold metal connecting with their skull, making spots dance in their vision till their world faded to a pitch black abyss of utter silence, the pounding headache they were suffering a testament to that.

Their arms were bound tightly behind their back, the thick rope unwilling to relent to any efforts of escape, only chafing against the crime-fighter's skin, reopening poorly healed cuts. The gag shoved into their mouth rendered their throat dry enough to rival a desert. Their legs felt like they were made of lead, and their muscles were on fire. They'd gotten themselves thrown into hell, it seemed.

The door creaked open, letting a sterile, white light blind the hero as it snuck into the awfully dim room. They cursed through the gag because every time that door opened, their torture was renewed, their wounds slowly reopened again.

Except instead of one of their many tormentors, their sworn enemy, Villain, stood face to face with them.

Unlike the hero's pathetically miserable state, the villain looked immaculate, untouchable. Their dark hair hung in loose curls, and their clothes were pristine and very soft-looking. They looked like they'd just stepped straight out of the salon, and Hero hated it with a burning passion.

"If I take out the gag, you'll behave?"

The look in Hero's eyes had already delivered the desired message more effectively than a thousand filthy swear words would.

The villain had the decency to finally cave in and slice through their restraints and pull the gag out of their mouth.

"Come on, let's get out of here."

When the hero didn't follow suit, they turned back to them, arms folded across their chest, and they raised an eyebrow at them. Always one for theatricality.

"I can't walk," Hero whined pathetically, fixing the villain with wide, adorable, manipulative eyes.

"Your legs aren't broken," they snapped.

"You try walking normally when you've been restrained for weeks!"

Villain scooped them up against their chest effortlessly. "Keep this up, and I'll bloody well murder you," they growled

"You'd miss me too much," the hero purred, tracing the curve of their jaw in a featherlight caress. Even when they were covered in dirt and blood, they still managed to send shivers up the criminal's spine.

"Wait." The crime-fighter's tone suddenly sobered up, making the villain stop in their tracks. "How do you expect to just waltz out of here with me in tow?"

The hero was usually the brains of the operation, but the villain wasn't too dull either. "I killed them all," they said softly, face flushed with embarrassment.

"Tu as tué pour moi? Tu es vraiment mon autre moitié," they whispered in awe.

Villain never really understood anything Hero said in French, but it sounded so alluring, they loved listening to it anyway.

"I just didn't know what you'd think of me," they answered sheepishly.

"What would you think if I told you I've always had fantasies of someone killing for me?"

"I-I'd kill a thousand more if I had to. They can't hurt you and expect to walk away from it unscathed," they snarled.

Hero pressed a kiss into their nemesis's temple, their mint-scented hair conditioner hitting them like a kick to the ribs.

"I'm going to spoil you so bad, you'll forget all this even happened," the villain promised.

"I'd want nothing more, mon amour."

"Finally, I understand what you're saying!"

The hero laughed, soft and musical, and it set the villain's heart on fire.

Hero had always been the one fixing up Villain's messes, stitching them up in the middle of the night and trying to save them from their path of self-destruction. This time, they could finally let someone else take care of them, let the weight fall from their shoulders, close their eyes, and finally feel safe for once.

To find someone that holds you in the highest regard, that knows your value and isn't afraid to show that to the world is a blessing without a price. To see your soul reflected in someone else's eyes is the most beautiful way to spell out the word 'love'. Et quand je pense de l'amour, c'est ton nom qui est toujours dans mon coeur.
