So
it all started with me painting some Wood Elves Glade Guard. They
needed dark red tunics because they're from Anmyr (as most of my army
will be) but the effect just wasn't working. I'd slap on the Khorne
Red, wash it black and then things would fall apart when it came to
highlighting. Also, I couldn't work out what to do with the leathers
on the models.
So
I dug up a couple of Skull Pass Night Goblins from my bits box to run
some colour tests on models that, frankly, I have no immediate
use for and who'll be hidden by about thirty other models when I eventually do so it wouldn't matter if things came out a little scrappy.
Then
I realised there were a couple different kinds of brown I needed to
use on the Night Goblins: the shoes, the spear hafts, a pouch here
and there.
So
I undercoated those Tomb Kings Skeleton Horse Archers that had been
causing me so much trouble. Yes, I finally finished building the
bastards!
Right,
so that's 26 models on the table so far plus the Glade Lord,
Shadowdancer, Tomb Prince and Necrotect I'd been quietly chipping
away at on the side. Luckily, this morning I got the finishing
touches done on the Night Goblins and Horse Archers so now I can get
back to painting the models I originally wanted to.
I
really need to keep better notes on how I paint things because,
literally, every one of the methods I've been experimenting with are
ones I have used before and should have remembered.
