Now that I've almost assembled 2000 pts of Empire, they're all staring at me from on top of my workbench pleading for life. "Paint us," I can hear them say each time I go into that room. Augh! 2k of Empire! That's over 100 models. This is the time I wonder yet again, why, oh why, didn't I go for the Vampire Counts? Or, even better, Tomb Kings. One color, over and over again. None of this shading/washing/layering/redoing stuff I have to go through for Empire. Maybe I'd feel different if I didn't have such trouble with yellow/purple.
So here's the real point of my post: To you who actually have that miracle, a fully painted army, how did you do it? Yes, I can read the "Painting Blues" article (and I have, many times, believe me), but how did you do it? Second, a general question, what have people done when they're 3/4 finished painting a regiment, and just really don't like the way it turned out? I'll post some pictures up in a bit to get reviews, but in the meantime, any thoughts would be helpful.
