I failed.
Some last minute work commitments got in the way of finishing the
Angels of Defiance Master. He's nearly done, just needs a little work
on the metallics but, as I said, I didn't get my Warhammer Resolution
for January done. Didn't finish any other projects before (God help
us) Brexit Day rolled around. So, no bonus points and I've lost those
ten points for finishing the twelve monthly projects, as well.
When faced
with moderate failure there's only one solution:
GO BIGGER!
TEMPT FATE WITH EVEN GREATER POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE!
February's
Hobby Resolution is going to be to paint an entire Imperial Knight
Crusader. That's the one with the battle cannon and the gatling
cannon. I got the model cheap on eBay a few years ago and havent so
much as touched it until now. Yesterday, I built the big boy and I am
so jazzed to get to work on it.
I'm going to
be painting the model in the colours of House Cadmus, which is the
colour scheme from the box art above. I love their background as,
basically, fox hunting toffs on an epic scale (well, a 28mm scale).
Its a relatively simple colour scheme but striking, its also not
predominantly dark red or black which I'm doing my best to avoid
right now out of sheer fatigue (Deathwatch, Word Bearers, Cult of the
Bladed Cog Genestealer Cults, red and black are FAR too common in
Warhammer 40,000).
A few
other... not “goals” but intentions for the month include aciding
bathing my Blackstone Fortress Traitor Guard because I have a much
better idea of how to paint them than I did originally; building some
of the Mechanicus kits I got for Christmas; and, choosing a Chaos
Legion for the very small number of Chaos Marines who'll be part of
my Lost and the Damned army.
So, let's
march hoprefully towards inevitable failure...
