Wont be long before you change your rules:
1 only painted stuff makes the cabinet
2 only best painted stuff makes the cabinet
3 only your favorite best painted stuff makes the cabinet
4 it must all fit…some…how…
5 if unlucky like me…the glass shelf collapses and you have to start again, with better painted stuff that isnt broken…
I fully relate to one army leading into the next, I was the same with my Chaos back in the day when they were all in one book, a little bit of this and a little bit of that but when they split them into 3 I had no full army of any of them, something I have since corrected.
And it still goes on, just this year starting the no elf wood elf army I dreamed of since 7th ed, the Ogres, 3d printed the beastmen this year too oh and now it looks like in the near future I will be doing Brets as a mate just gifted me some knights lol so that would put me at everything apart from Amazons which my sub conscious tells me we can probs 3d print one day, Kislev (hmmmm I wonder if I can find some stl’s) and elves… NEVER… although they would be good to have as something for my Dawi to bash on.
Off to Coffs Harbour on a working week from Monday but when I get back a week later I am going to start doing another tidy up on my room… it has gone a bit sideways since the last 2 CDO competitions, then get a full inventory done, set up my new lights like what @Oxymandias has, find a better home for the printer and wash station (currently on gaming table), take some pictures, do some blogging, get some gaming and painting done… always so much to do and so little time
I have decided to paint all remaining lizardmen for the CDO meetup 2022 as I’m bringing them and I want them done before I start printing a whole new army (looking at you tomb kings and ogre kingdoms) or adding more to them.
I still need to paint 20 temple guard and 39 cold one riders. Both units have some paints on them so it’s not too much work.
I’ve also decided to finish all the Chaos dwarfs I currently physically own.
While that list is still doable I’ve also decided I should finally paint all my printed LKM temples…
Today I (nearly) finished all the vines. These have a LOT of vines.
First thought: for a lot of different, competing armies of Chaos Dwarfs, and some Tomb Kings and High Elves to descend on Lustria, they must be searching for something… or someone… that the others cannot possibly be allowed to find first
Sounds good!
I’d say it would be great if the background could be done in advance, so we can all maybe come up with something specific for our armies? (Personally I can conveniently build upon my Mutiny on the Bountharr story )
