September Painting Update
September 25th, 2008This month’s painting has been a bit rushed - I blame the sheer awesomeness of Assassin’s Creed (yes, I finally got around to playing a year-old game) for delaying my painting for a week and a half. It doesn’t help that I’m painting three times as many figures as I did last month. The end result is that every night this week has been dedicated to getting painting done.
Progress so far
Cloth under-armor painted: 12/12 Fire Warriors, NA for Gun Drones
Armor base-painted: 4/12 Fire Warriors, 2/2 Gun Drones
Detail work: 0/12 FW (save for the face on my shas’ui), 0/2 GD
On a side note, this month’s painting has given me a chance to try out the GW Citadel Washes, and I have to say that they’re a joy to work with. I used the Badab Black wash on top of Shadow Grey cloth, and it gave me exactly the color and effect I was looking for. I’ve also picked up the Devlan Mud and Gryphonne Sepia washes, and I eventually plan to get the entire set (hopefully before they go up in price).
