Yeah, getting into painting minis again ( and the sheer volume of Skaven I have to get through - 40 Slaves, 40 Clanrats, 3 Rat-Ogres, 2 Warlock Engineers, A Packmaster & A Master Mouldering, 6 Giant Rats, 4 weapons teams - 2 Poison Globe Mortars & 2 Warpfire Canons, 1Warlord, 1 Warlord riding a Bonebreaker Conversion, 1 Assassin, and a Doomwheel. And 1 month to complete it), one of the mantras I've adopted is " good enough from 3 ft", meaning if I can't see any imperfections from 3 feet away it's done. This is just in regards to my rank and file, I'll hopefully have them done by the end of this weekend, and I'll be able to indulge my OCD perfectionist mode again on the characters. Obviously this is pretty much the same as the aforementioned " if you can't see it from across the tabletop...".
I've got a very simple colour palate I'm working with for the troops (ultra-Matt black primer, vermin brown, dwarf flesh, military green, mechendrite red, and gunmetal grey) and I've got a pretty streamlined formula: primer, bases, details, then AP Quickshade Strong Tone over the whole model, and then touch- ups as necessary the next day. Did 1 tester the first day, 5 test batches the next 2 days and plan on 10 from today until finished, as I'm satisfied I've got the kinks out.
I'll have pics soon.
