This post is a little out of sequence – not that it matters – especially this late. We’ve got some chests painted at the end of December (below, but missing one), as well as a whole ton of chests painted in January (above). The reason, obviously is because a mass of treasure chests from a miniatures boardgame is not the most interesting thing to post up on the internet. As with the previous batch of these, I’ve tried to vary them a bit, but also with that previous batch in mind, I’ve kept the colourful chests to just the “Special” chests – that is – the more squat/wider ones. Between these and the previous batch it should give me enough variety when needed as well as the ability to have “special” chests of whatever colour for whatever game.

From counting the pillars I have (18!~) it seems like I bought three of these packs, which should mean I have 45 of the “normal” chests and then 12 of the “special” chests. Then again the Chests and Pillars pack was something from both MD1 and MD2, so I probably picked up at least one from each campaign – something I can easily imagine myself doing if I hadn’t started painting the ones from MD1 when the second campaign rolled around with no clue if I already had some – possibly they threw some in as KS extras? I dunno. I could check the KS invoices but I don’t care anymore at this point. I just hope I don’t stumble across another batch of chests or pillars in the future…

Since this is a post full of boxes, here’s some more I did at the end of December – Some GW(!) crates, I believe these are from, the older set with the shipping palettes and some barrels, but I think they’re the same as the more recent Munitorum Armoured Container set with the shipping containers. I actually got these ones from eBay many years ago in a job lot with a bunch of other stuff, and they turned out to be pretty obvious recasts (along with about half of the rest of the purchase) – the result of that being that I cracked the shits with them and dumped them into a container until recently, when I found them again mixed in with some of these chests, and decided to just paint the things and get them done. Marouda helped with the brown chests and green chests applying base colour and washes but lost interest in finishing them, that’s how interesting they were (and how helpful she turned out to be!)

All of these were painted in the window for Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 24-25. I guess I need to get my arse to work posting the rest of December-January-February’s models up…
