It helps a lot that my traditional January burst of hobby energy is being directed at a pile of models that I happened to have in my cupboard!
What I’m trying to do with this project is find time to prep entire units with a pre-shade before tackling them. That means I can grab a handful off the shelf and block in the colours whenever I have some free time. Being able to paint in shorter sessions should allow me to paint more in total over the next few months.
I’ve now got pre-shading done for the full 25-man Marauder unit and 3 more trolls, as well as 10 of my heresy grenadiers.
This weekend I’ve also undercoated a full unit of Chaos Warriors and a Daemon Prince, which will just get a drybrush so I can paint them in line with the Nurgle stuff I painted late last year.
As far as I can tell they are a terrible choice ruleswise, but this is a “what I had in the cupboard” army after all.
In terms of actual pile updates, I’ve completed 4 more Chaos Marauders:
The keen-eyed among you will notice that I’ve switched to a different blue (Terradon Turquoise rather than Frostheart) so that the colour scheme can be a bit more god-neutral.
This update will put me very close to “zero every month” so long as the six models I have in the post don’t arrive in the next couple of days. If they do I guess I’ll just have to paint a bit more!
4 off the pile.
