Yes, I've
decided to keep score. It feels good, its content and it appeals to a
deep part of me that likes making lists. Going through my hobby posts
from the last two months tells me that this is the twenty-second
model I've completed this year and that's a nice feeling, so
anyway...

The first
finished model for my Tzeentch Chaos army: the plastic Sorcerer Lord.
I wanted to try a few things with this model, some of them worked,
some of them didn't.
The flesh
method worked. Its a base of Rakarth Flesh shaded with Carroburg
Crimson and drybrushed Changeling Pink. Its not a method I think I'll
use on the other “human” units and characters but it might bear
keeping in mind for when I start painting up Tzaangor (the blue flesh
GW uses on their exemplar models would look too much like the blue
cloth I'm going to use to tie the human units together).
I painted
the base in a method I saw on a WarhammerTV painting tutorial (for
the Balefire Realmgate, incidentally). I like how the stone came out
with a Karak Stone drybrush and now I have a new way of doing
“mountain” bases for my Dwarf units. Also, it turns out that
Steel Legion Drab comes out pretty well on a Mechanicus Standard Grey
base which was a surprising solution to a problem I've been having
since I started doing base rims in Steel Legion: it doesn't cover
over black or brown very well.
Always nice
when you solve a problem by accident.
The bright
silver armour, however, just doesn't work. It isn't terrible here,
the gold breaks up the brightness, but I imagine if I painted the
Warriors' armour like this outlined by a Thousand Sons Blue cape it
will lack contrast. Right now I'm thinking Kantor Blue armour, as
I've used for the shoulder guards and such on the Kairic Acolytes,
but we'll see how I feel when I get there.
