Okay. Testing my strength today, I spent the afternoon at the painting desk. I’ve kept it simple and picked up the Chaos Warriors from the Old World project I started last year, purely because I don’t care about making them pretty and I can abuse them with Contrast paints and washes:
They’re painted in a very non-traditional scheme designed to tie in with the less-armoured Nurgle models I’ve done previously. They’re almost entirely done with Contrast over drybrushing, with only the bone and metal getting any normal paint.
The next 10 from this unit are on the painting desk, as well.
While waiting for their bases to dry (a common exercise for me) I also painted up this little fella:
I converted him out of the Baneblade commander on foot to represent a cyber-familiar for my Heresy Militia. I like the idea of a commander being followed around by a couple of aides-de-camp, so I might add another one and use them as wound tokens. Aside from the conversion, very little of note is happening on this model - it’s basically all drybrush work and a few things picked out in their relevant colour, before a dark wash over everything.
While not very exciting (or wise), today’s update brings me down below zero. It won’t be for long though, since there’s a few more things coming in the mail from my hospital-stay purchases. It’s fire season where I am, too - a lot of smoke in the air means it’s unwise to open windows to let plastic glue fumes escape, so I probably won’t be doing much building for the next few days.
Regardless, that’s six off the pile, a few endurance-related regrets, and an early negative score.
BATG Score: -1
