Thanks so much for the support everyone! Your praise means a lot - I too am excited to see what everything looks like painted, but alas, I am the person who has to do it!
Speaking of painting, I had a few hours to do some today and decided I wanted to get a model done. I picked the easiest, already-undercoated model I had to hand, which happened to be a Chaos Dwarf from the Warcry Iron Golems set.
I picked him up with the idea of using him as an allied Fyreslayer (I’m still planning to run this army as a “City of Sigmar” proxy force) but have warned to the notion of just having a spare hero model sitting around for whatever purpose I need it for. I did no converting, it’s just an official GW Chaos Dwarf!
Something weird was going on with my Sybarite Green, so the highlights are a little chalky, but I’m very happy with everything else. I’ll do a cleanup pass if I find the time and/or motivation.
It’s certainly a good first model for the year.
