And yet I somehow believe adding 11 Neurogaunts into the mix will make it somehow more achievable... I mean it is not. But I guarantee I will feel a damn sight worse if I finished the Termagants and then throw in another 11 gribblies.
So if I'm all in with 31 models then I might as well the extra 3 Von Ryan's Leapers from Combat Patrol.
AND, 5 Barbgaunts too. You may recall these almost broke me as well.
But I have timings for these and I'll soon have timings for the Termagants and Neurogaunts which should provide me with a timescale. Once I have that it makes the whole process that much more manageable.
Initially getting these basecoats done felt like such a retrograde step - like it was so far from completion. Yet each step, bone, blue and red has been achievable with some concerted effort and focus. The Soft Tone and Strong Tone wash will be relatively straightforward and then it's the highlights that will be the true test. A test of patience and repetition that hopefully I can overcome.
And just as I acknowledge the value in painting all of these concurrently, however overwhelming such large batches to paint present we get this:

Granted we knew it was coming. But I thought it was a few pieces of terrain and 5 Raveners. But there are multiple copies of each and the big tower. Not to mention 10 Hormagaunts and a base of Rippers! So it would appear I now have to get this and paint them all for AoP too! If I'm focused it just might be possible, so much for 'What's on my palette?'
Looking cool already! And of course, there is a new set on the horizon – you can never quite catch up with all the cool new stuff! The terrain would look really good as part of your AoP board!
