Sunday and monday: painted and washed the warlock from the warband. Some more work left but feels nice to paint one mini at a time and to put some more effort inte each one.

Maybe I should try that some time, paint one figure and then another.  Maybe just leaders or something like that.  Got too many rank and file for not dong them in batches currently.

Received the next batch of chaos. Discussed the colour schemes and I think we will go with the arid look to continue the untamed beasts theme. With AoS, the chaos do not have to fit in with the northern look as they have been all over the realms for millennia.
For the Karkadrak, my son said to look up the bearded dragon for a route lol. Also had an idea for a chaos objective made out of an old fastener to the left.

I take it your son doesn't enjoy painting.  I see some squigs in the background.

Wondering what the Vallejo "Thick Mud" is?  PLus are those Chaos models the most recent version?

They are the new vhaos and I like em a lot. With the round bases, they can be a lot more dynamic. The 16 warriors coming are probably repackaged older models. The thick mud, I use to do basing for texture on a bigger scale. Cheaper than the astrogranite. I dry brush it with fenrisian blue and it’s close to the astrogranite texture.
He doesn’t like painting much due to an eye problem but has been watching slot of YouTube vids on ways to paint. The idoneth are next and I think he’ll give them a crack. When I kick the bucket for the final time, he can get all the collection. It’s been a great way to maintain a shared bond as he assembled almost all the units save for the last bits that I have fought with.

This should be fun. Totally off the cuff with an old fastener and a flagellant burning head and a warcry ex-human.

Those new Chaos warriors do look good!  I look forward to seeing the 16 older models, too.

Regarding the mud, can you do up a base at some point and post it to see what it looks like before painting?

Lots of good, and some blah, painting videos available, good way to learn more.  And I get maintaining a bond/being connected, well done.

Finished the warlock, but suffering from almost constant headaches. Negative for covid, but stress is dangerous in the long run...

Maybe I should try that some time, paint one figure and then another.  Maybe just leaders or something like that.  Got too many rank and file for not dong them in batches currently.

It's a nice change of pace, but batching is the way for rank and file of units larger than 10. Got to mix in some warmachine with crews, heroes etc to not drown under the burden that is ranked infantry. Got 5 dreadspears to go and 20 darkshards before more fun units such as hydra, reaper bolt throwers, more characters. Also limiting the number of hordes in my elven armies to keep units smaller, 40+ white lions is cool but 20 feels enough. One horde each of seaguards and dreadspears is resonable. In my Empire army, all combat infantry units are 40-60 minis xD

Maybe The Old Worlds unit sizes are more like in 6th and 7, but combat rules stay more like 8th, nice to get to hit back and not just fold when charged.   

Right now, with my current mental health, focusing on one little mini and getting it done feels enough. Only got 6 more models to go for the warband now :)

That figure looks better than the picture on the box. Might need to pick one up.  :icon_lol: :icon_biggrin:

If I recall, there are a couple of other special figures for Warcry.  I was eyeing a big one further back, perhaps at some point.

Started the lord and some warriors. The base shots are for you GP. That’s the mud paint you were asking about.

After 4 days off, I have returned to a wee bit of hobbying.  Still determining what I am going to do for a new magnifier lamp for painting.  However, reset the game table with the scenario for the upcoming Huzzah! 2021: Hold the Line online convention.  Figures had to be rejoined from the last playtest, and then remeasured into their places.  I also did up a to do list for putting the finishing touches on a few of the units, like painting weapons, and doing some basing for some of the groups as well.

Wanted: an arid looking armour for our desert Slaves to Darkness. Looked up arid armour and found a assassins creed like image and I had inspiration.

I like what you're doing with those. :icon_biggrin: :icon_cool: :eusa_clap:

At 4pm I shut down my business, it has been a brutal week.  Then I headed for Lowes for new drills, auto screw driver, and gig saw.  Bought lumber for two gardening platforms that will be created this weekend.  I am so blah that there's no way I'm going to try anythgin hobby tonight.  Time to chill and relax.

Details. Details. I’m loving these chaos models. No pics today. Seems redundant to add pics for a couple of colours
