This month I have mostly been painting…

A mixture of stuff as usual. 

AoS
I finished off the 20 Dwarf Warriors from the old Prince Ulthers unit, really enjoyed painting these, a good example of how old dwarfs have so much character in them whilst being very simple sculpts. Pictured here on Archaeon's base (more of which later) just to show how big his base is!

I also did some work on terrain: Dragonfate Dais and 2 realmgates (unpictured).  I picked these up because the requirements for SCGT have bumped up the terrain needs a little, I'd say I had plenty in my collection anyway but I might have to lend some to a mate so used it as an excuse to get a few bits.  They're really quick and easy to paint and it was actually a lot of fun.



Dragonfate Dais/Dias I forget which!

 
Guild Ball - A couple of S2 players and I also picked up a Masons team on the cheap so painting them up too. Venin got a proper paintjob to fit in with my alchemists but still only took 3 hours.  It's amazing what a difference it makes not having the model coated in unnecessary crap detail does for painting speed!  The others were bashed out even quicker.  I'll probably go back to tenderiser so he's the same as the rest of my butchers who got quite a lot of effort but I wanted him painted and available for a game this week.

The Masons I'm not sure I even want to keep them.  Flint was fun to paint but I don't overly see myself ever playing 5 teams so I might paint them up and look to sell them on, though Masons do have some nice tricks to them so offer something a bit different.

And finally a commission piece, now I'm not a commission painter so this is not very common for me but when mates ask and it's a project I like the sound of then I'll agree to do it just so I can paint the model up.  In this instance the model in question is Glotkin and I have a soft spot for painting large & cool models so there was no chance I was gonna say no. 



Glotkin - a big dude!

 I mentioned Archaeon's base up above, that is the second model I'm doing on commission (same guy).  It's a model I never thought I'd get for myself and as GW's biggest ever fantasy model I was really happy to have the opportunity to put it together and see just how nice the kit was and then toss a bit of paint at it.  Only part way through so far so it's going to fall into my March round up.


On my march towards the 366 in 366 this leaves me flat on par at the end of Feb, not ideal as I like strong start but between Glotkin & Archaeon I've sunk a lot of time into 2 big models that under my system still only count as 1 model.  Because of the rebasing required for my Dwarfs to use at SCGT I'm expecting I'll fall behind in March but I might be able to smash out some epic stuff to catch up.
