I took the day off today to chill and paint and watch Wrestlemania (because why not?), and even accounting for breaks to actually pay attention, I painted for about eight hours today, all told.
By the time the main event kicked off, this is what I had achieved:
And it occurred to me, that the old paint scheme I’ve been religiously following for about fifteen years is pretty miserable. It’s a fairly simple base-highlight-wash approach, but there’s such a lot of steps that need to be done with precision, multiple times.
The five models I got Rhinox hide on took over an hour just for that colour.
I decided to try a test model finishing the scheme off with contrast paints for the skin, brown and red:
It took twenty minutes and I basically can’t tell the difference. The brown isn’t the same, but I don’t think I care.
After lunch, I painted four more, and will be completing this army in the same fashion:
They were much faster.
There’s still about 60 of these guys to go, but for now it’s five off the pile.
BATG SCORE: -11
