It has been a long time since my eldest was interested in gaming. I still have the trophy on the shelf from when he and I came third in a DBM doubles tournament with Old Kingdom Egyptians and Sumerians. The first army he painted was a 25mm Seleucid army using mainly minfigs. I still have this army in storage for him, as well as a large WFB army of dwarfs.
His interest has been re-sparked by his eldest son who enjoys painting figures.
Here he is painting the Warhammer Quest doors. Today I was shown the Reaper Sharkman he had just finished painting which I only gave him over Easter (no pic).
Over the last few weeks SOG (Son of Guru) has been painting again and he has really improved. Figures from oldest to latest.
With highlights still to add.
Still in progress.
His latest figures, some large Orcs and Boromir, have come out even better.
It is a great thing when your son and grandson start painting figures because when the eyes dim and the hand becomes unsteady you have you have your own built in figure painters, and what’s not to like about that!
Always nice to see following generations pick up the mantle.
Brilliant! Loving to read that mate.
Gotta love it! 🙂 Hope you all enjoy it!
That’s pretty awesome! While I’ve managed to cajole my kids into painting a few, I don’t know that they will ever pick it up on their own. Tell your oldest I love those old school Blood Bowl Orcs too!
My brother and his friends painted those in the early 90s. It’s great to see it’s still going.
Nice one! My son has started coming out to gaming events with and it’s a great feeling to go as a family.
