It’s been a while, but it’s finally time to break out Gimli:
After a few months of intermittent paint sessions, and the last two days straight of painting metals and pin washing, I have finished painting my Baneblade:
This magnificent beast is quite possibly the biggest model I’ve ever painted, with only Kragnos and some older Warmachine/Hordes models coming close (I should photograph and post them, someday). It’s really an order of magnitude more effort to get one of these big models done than it is to paint even quite large units of infantry. It’s just a completely different kind of project that I’ve never really given myself practice at - thus the theme for this year, I suppose.
After the last two marathon painting sessions, my eyes feel like something took a dump in them. Not great. I’m really feeling my age these days.
Still, I regret nothing. I don’t have time for regrets, I have a Shadowsword to start on. At this rate, I’ll finish three more centrepiece models before the year is out!
One off the pile, and some bonus points for meeting a goal.
