No more excuses... further toys

Seems that I am now running out of excuses not to paint.

I've been spending my pennies once more, and invested in a nice daylight desk-clamp light, so my night time painting sessions should be practical once again.

I've also invested in some Windsor & Newton Series 7 Kolinsky sable brushes. A bit more expensive than the Citadel brushes im used to using, but going from popular opinion, they are quite a bit better and should be worth the additional spent on them. No doubt when I've had a chance to use them a bit I'll write something about them.

Just for the record, I currently use the red handle brushes from a fair few years back, not the more recent blue or black handle citadel brushes which are supposedly at both ends of the useability spectrum. The blue ones were terrible, the black ones are supposed to be great. I may invest in a few of the citadel black handled ones for the lesser detailed works, as rumours are that they are also Kolinsky sable. As they are a few pounds cheaper than the Windsor and Newton or Rosemary and Co. brushes that are hailed as the best out there, I have my doubts as to how valid that claim is... I've never yet known Games Workshop to be reasonably priced compared to specialised suppliers.

Oh and the Realm of Battle board that we ordered for the main gaming table/display in the shop has come in, so I need to invest in a bag of sand from B&Q and get on with painting that up. More to come on that later.
