So, I did good keeping this updated last month, and hope to do so for the remainder of the year, if not beyond.
Having finished the Circle models, I've got a few Saga models up next.
The
2 units of mounted hearthguard have been drilled and glued to
paperclips for priming off of their horses, and I've started with a
colour primer of Platemail metal, followed by a Dark tone wash. The
skin has been blocked in with Tanned Flesh. Once all the other details
are blocked in, I'll give them an all over wash with Dark Tone, then
highlight and layer up.
The Horses have been primed Leather
Brown, basically because it's easier to paint the horse another colour
and the basework is already done, and the texture has been washed with
Strong tone.
The 2nd unit of Warriors was also primed
Leather brown and hit with the Strong wash, and the skin was blocked
in. The plan is to drybrush Leather Brown over the bases, followed by
Skeleton Bone, then re-do the rims Leather Brown. That is how I do the
majority of my bases these days. It also gets the messy drybrushing out
of the way before painting really begins.
Yesterday's
review post got me thinking though, with 16 hobby resolutions, which is
basically crossing off 4 every 3 months to keep on target. Some, like
keeping the Games room tidy or Ironmanning the PP forum painting
challenge are obviously end of the year things, whilst others can be
completed much sooner. So, highlighters in hand, I set about
provisionally planning how I would break them down over the year.
January - March - Finish the Microworld Beastmen, Paint a Gargossal, Play 6 new Opponents, Go to 2 Shows or Conventions.
York
and SmogCon cover the latter two, and hopefully I can find the time to
get a Gargantuan painted before then. Then it's just a case of
finishing off the beastmen and getting started on the next things.
April - June - Run a 2 day event, play 6 different boardgames, Place at Welsh Masters, Finish 6pts of Saga.
Well,
the Saga stuff is halway done already, with more on the paint station
so that's a big plus, Welsh masters and my event are in April and May,
and the Boardgames breaks down to 1 a month.
July - September - Konflict '47, Warband Dark Elves, 20 Frostgrave figures, 2 Hordes Battle boxes.
OK,
so, errrrr, basically this was all the choices that were left that
after the first 8, and working out what 4 I couldn't tick off until the
end of the year...
October - December - Tidy Games
Room, Keep Butcher's Guild fully painted, Transfer Paints to Dropper
Bottles, PP Forum Ironman status.
As above, mostly stuff I won't know I've done until the end of the year.
