Damnit!

I tried spray priming and it came out all bubbly and gloopy :(

Thought the garage would be dry enough. Turns out I was wrong.

Looks like I'll be doing a bit of stripping tonight depending on how they dry.

Didn't turn out too bad.

Next up, company command squad. I need to come up with a slightly variant pattern for the commander and veterans. I'm thinking maybe a yellow shoulder pad or some such, maybe a red/yellow palette swap. Maybe a fancy red coat for the commander.

Then I'll have my 500pts of guard and can play a couple games :)

Test building done! Learned a lot quickly, and confident to try something more elaborate next. This one will serve as a garrison-able way post. May give it a small hill base.





Started work on Doomwheel. Also put in a massive HoardoBits order for 80 more Skaven in prep for kicking the game up to 1500.

Ugh... again more new job stuff (YAY!) has severely stalled my painting (BOO!). My command squad managed to get primed in the last 5 days.

On the plus side sitting in waiting rooms for 8 zillion interviews gave me time to build some lists.

With the command squad I'll have my 500pts.

Adding a heavy weapon squad and Lemun Russ will get me to 750 Pts.

from there I can keep building out guard or try and get a functioning Marine detachment (just need an HQ and I'm loving the new Marine Commander but $35 for a plastic mini is... absurd) and go for 1000pts.

Doomwheel complete! Just need to do up the base with some rocks and flocks and maybe a bit of road kill:)

Pretty happy with how the palette swap turned out. The commanders coat also turned out nicely RE: the shading and highlighting.

Next week. Lemun Russ Tank :D

And... tanks are quicker to paint than I thought...



Still need to do some basic weathering but basically done.

Should cover that tank in some Roman/esque stuff/motiffs IMO. I like how the whole thing's coming together - at first I was kind of "Meh, so it's basically IG with Roman colour scheme", but I like the small touches.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed
