Today’s Forcast – Light Showers Followed By Exploding Shells.

After three days of messing around with green stuff and painting these bastards in between attending to needy babies the Mortar teams are now complete save basing and clear coat. Originally the plan was to use a darker grey, but I didn’t have great coat grey on hand and didn’t feel like messing around with mixing. Aside from Holt and Aiyana the list will be based with snow, but I’m waiting till everything is done to do that, since it’s a pain to mix up small quantities and I don’t want to mix too much just have it go to waste.

The plan was to move onto the behemoth next, but I wanted a breakfrom modeling and started Aiyana instead. She and Holt are being painted to match the rest of my merc collection. Still haven’t figured out how to paint her hair though. She’ll be done tomorrow, and if I have another manic attack the behemoth may be well under way by morning.

If it weren’t for the associated depression I’d love the hyper productivity of mania. Hurray for being Bi-polar!

Progress Report on Kraye

Lookit- the Grenadier is done!

I jokingly think of the color scheme for my army as “Blacklight Cygnar.”While my warjacks are incredibly bright, my trooper models are all painted in Coal Black armor, with little bits of detail picked out in sky blue and yellow. (Gun Mages are an exception, with their greatcoats painted “shoot me!” sky blue. That’s because I always thought of them as high-bred and a bit foppish, making up for said foppishness by constant dueling.) Anyway, not to worry, my entire army isn’t going to be blindingly bright or anything.

The work on Kraye has begun, as well. It’s such a pretty, pretty model. I finished painting his pony already. The artwork was so nice, that I kept the coloring for the horse, and made it grey and spotted, with a blonde mane. The rest of the model, of course, will be painted to match my army’s color scheme.
