MichaelX's Pray the gray away! [BATG 2023]

With the skavenpaloosa over i feel kind of lost as to what to paint this year.

I’ll update this post in the following weeks!

Last BATG blog i did i had all the images in the first few replies and the tally was added as new replies. That became quite boring as we went along.

I like @Reavers idea of keeping score in the first reply and posting images as we go. Keeps the blog more interesting!

Right-o,

Like last years batg i will do some random stuff in the first 2 or 3 months to cleanse the palette so to speak.

lets get this party started with a nice 11 pieces of terrain painted!

After i decided to make a Tyranid kill team!

that’s a hefty + 31 for now. Luckily i will be painting these as soon as i finish my gallowdark terrain (which i counted as 54 seperate pieces in batg 2022, so you can bet your ass i will count them as 54 when i paint them!)

More updates soonish i hope!

Oh… another big update… :smiley:

i bought a Elegoo saturn 2 printer. It’s buildplate is about 4 times the size of my current printer. I also stocked up on resin during the last black friday sales… Boy i hope i can keep my painting and printing in sync…

The final result with the weathering and detail looks awesome! It would be a blast to play on that table. Well done, and nice count for the BATG!

Right… It’s been a while without updates because… well i didn’t do much painting and printing. At least not for myself.

I printed 2 of @Brawniac’s musicians to test the supports, but they will be added to the bighat army!
I also got 2 screaming skull catapults!
And the GH models, but ill add those next month.
