I did do some other bits on the remaining 6, tails and some edges it helps break up the tedium and means when I reconvene they'll take that little bit quicker to complete. Of course I could have not done that and maybe completed an 8th or 9th model but it's the mind game and production line-wise I find this works for me.
Still to do heads, shoulders, backs and some Fleshborers but it's a bizarre feeling to work solidly and still not complete what you intended to do. Immense satisfaction for a good nights work coupled with disappointment that I did not get more done. And with that as my last thought as I went to bed and my first thought as I got up the addiction is really strong at the moment
But with less than a fortnight until Throne of Skulls there's an urgency here, even if I may not need them afterall...
The shadow of the warp weighs heavily on your mind, sure you are not a Stealer Magos? Great work.
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea, I don't know if it's the return to the hive or thethe deadline for completion but I definitely feel like I'm on a mission. Of course the mind numbing repetition is doing its darndest to put me off!
DeleteGood stuff Dave, you'll have them done in no time!
ReplyDeleteI hope soso, have so many things I need to do...
DeleteNow thats what I call batch painting! They are looking great already :)
ReplyDeleteI'd say 13 is my limit but I still have the 31 stealers that are progressing alongside these!
DeleteBatch painting is rewarding and aggravating at the same time. When you finish, it's amazing...but the closer you get to the end, the more the patience wants to break!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, but it's not just batch painting I've a vivid memory of handwriting practice in primary school and just as you get to the end your penmanship is all over the place because you're so close to finishing! Anyway, all the dull bits done now, so it should be smooth sailing (fingers crossed).
DeletePainting Termagants. That way lies madness. Good job though.
ReplyDeleteIts a fine line between happiness and chaos, I'm not sure if I've crossed it or not.
