| 50% of Tactical Squad Cleos in the blank void of time and space. |
It takes so
little time for them to start looking like they should look. The two
main colours on them are base paints: Abaddon Black and Khorne Red.
Once those two layers are on you have something that looks like a
Flesh Tearer. There aren't a whole lot of extra layers needed to make
those colours look right (in my case, since my basic arse never
bothers highlighting black, I just need to slather Nuln Oil over the
red and do a quick tidy) before moving on to the details.
True, there
are a lot of details. There are absolutely tons of things that need
to be painted white and silver and bone and so on but the basic
principle is that I have something, two or three layers into the
painting process, that looks
close to done even if its an illusion. The illusion of progress is
actually a pretty good motivator.
P.S.
I am well aware that if I don't highlight the black on my Death
Company they will look terrible and I dread getting started on those
units for that very reason. There will be a lot of experimenting and
a lot of dissatisfaction before I feel I have it right but that's the
price of pushing my skills.
