#TheCallofDanu challenge, february.

The giants will have to wait.
I decided to finish this Warrior of Danu first. Pined it with a paperclip and superglued to a base.

I can't rembember if I was the one who started to paint it like this (bought second-hand), but after all these years, I will be the one to finish it!

Hey @dereisenhofer look at what I found at last !
(was searching for dungeon doors actually...)

#KeltsOfTheSessairs minis I could paint for that month's #TheCallofDanu challenge.

It's February already.
I should think about the next #KeltsOfTheSessairs mini I'd like to paint for that month's #TheCallofDanu challenge.
I do have quite a bit of choice.
The easy one would be to finish the Warrior of Danu shown here (bottom left corner):

How hard can that be? It's mostly a cape...

This is going faster than I thought it would, and it's going rather well. :)

Yup. I think I can make it work.

I suppose I needed a little push from @dereisenhofer to get back to that mini for #TheCallofDanu.
Years later I was still unsure about it, as I kinda did a poor job of drilling her feet to pin it to a base...
Anyways... I jumped back right into it, cut a paper clip, drilled a hole in a base and glued everything with Super Glue.
I used the "blue tack method" (yellow here) to mark the right spot to drill the base.
I textured the base before painting this time, as the extra glue might help...

Technically, it is a fantasy celt miniature.
Not quite fit for #TheCallofDanu though...

Fève - Wikipedia
A fève is a small trinket hidden in a king cake or similar dessert. They may also be known as trinkets or favors. The French word fève translates to 'fava bean', which is what was originally hidden in the cake.

I've also decided that my warrior/musician would have been joined by two kelt hunters (he left some trail markers to be found).
The interaction with the goblin leader went well and my Star learned of the location of a camp where they may find a kelt druid (so I guess that's the next unpainted mini that will have to answer #TheCallofDanu).

#TheCallofDanu

16 years ago, when I got that #RackhamConfrontation #KeltsOfTheSessairs miniature I could only imagine painting her with the usual leathery colours.

In 2022, I have to resist painting her with a very pale skin tone, blue and pink hair and make-up, wearing blue, black and red.

I blame Margot Robbie.

#MiniaturePainting

The kelt musician has answered #TheCallofDanu.

I couldn't exactly match its base to those painted almost 20 years ago, but that's close enough.

I bought that #RackhamConfrontation miniature almost 16 years ago to the day: http://poussefigs.canalblog.com/archives/2006/12/15/3442330.html

The last mini from the #KeltsOfTheSessairs that I painted was Drac Mac Syro in 2010: http://poussefigs.canalblog.com/archives/2010/11/30/19748585.html

#TheCallofDanu

The kelt musician itself is done: painted and varnished (well... I forgot one metal ring on the right shoulder, so... later).

Now I just need to get the tab to fit into that old base and finish this for good.

"No, you can't answer #TheCallofDanu!"

@dereisenhofer

Same weather, opposite situation here:

the painting is going well, but my guy has no base yet.

#PaintingMinis

I haven't painted half-naked barbarians in such a long time that I don't have generic "white skin" paint anymore.
Well, skin colours are not as simple as black, white, red or yellow anyway. What the U.S. of A. seem to call "caucasian" doesn't make much sense either.

So I'll do my best with what I have on that #RackhamConfrontation fantasy kelt warrior.

And what I have are not fancy modern paints for miniatures 😅.
But they are good enough for me so that's OK.

To @PapaGlitch, @dereisenhofer
and whoever feels like doing this:

⏱ Paint at least ONE (more if you want to) #RackhamConfrontation SESSAIR miniature per MONTH, from your Pile Of Shame or whatever you call it.
(that's the original idea: finally painting minis we've had for years)

⚠️ Post pics and tag with... #TheCallOfDanu (?)

🗓 Proud group pic expected for Lá Bealtaine 2023 (Beltane, 1 May)

I'll start with that Kelt Musician as left in 2007.
