Office Rocker

The wargamer's butterfly effect strikes again!

I've had very little time for painting so far this month, having been away for a week already. As I was away I was contemplating Flashbang, and when I got back I found I wasn't so keen to keep painting Normans. Since I still have a fair amount of furniture to paint, and I want to get some games going at the club, I've returned to the office furniture I started work on way back in 2011.
The Ainsty Castings chap loves me

What with Triples coming up at the weekend, I feel I have to get these painted before I can go back to the Ainsty Castings stand, too...

I've been trying to keep them as a fairly well matched set, so that they make sense together - I've been doing this with a base coat of Vallejo Brown Sand, followed by a drybrush of Iraqui Sand. I apply the drybrush in a single direction, the idea being to simulate that fake laminate woodgrain effect that you see in dreary offices the world over.

To guarantee a low score this month, I'm changing my target to "as much Flashbang terrain as possible". That's so vague (and in fact I could easily claim to have already done it) that I doubt I'll get any points. Still, if it gets it done, that's good enough for me!
