I’m
sure some minis are cursed and these certainly were. I started them years ago,
when I thought I would start playing Infinity. It turned out that the system with
all the extra rules for different figures burned by brains to cinders and I gave
up on ever having a game. Anyway, I did have some minis already painted and these
half-painted. So I started on the bikers again, finished the bikes and just had
to finish the men.
Then
I dropped one of them. Straight onto my palette. Straight into a blob of paint.
Cursed,
wiped it clean and… dropped it again… into another blob of paint.
Needless
to say, I just gave up.
But
they have laid there in a box, nearly finished, for years, and every time I opened the box they were there, pointing at me with their rifles.
I
finally managed to move them to the painting table and finished the men. I
might not ever use them in a game, but now they are done. Finally!
That's infuriating but hilarious! You beat the curse in the end though!
ReplyDeleteBelieve me when I say hilarity was at an all-time low the minutes after drop #2 :-D
ReplyDeleteThe incident is much funnier today, especially as the minis are finished
Oh yes, I'm sure! Infuriating!
DeleteNightmare....looking good now, though!
ReplyDelete:-)
DeleteWe all have *that* mini somewhere that is always almost finish and never get done. Good one on taking these 2 to the painted lead pile.
ReplyDeleteThat was the next to last of those! Really happy about that.
DeleteWell done on finishing them.
ReplyDeleteReminds me that I have a few that needs finishing. Gotta get to it tonight.
A few...
DeleteSounds good. Hope to see many new painted minis on your blog in the near future.
