Ride to ruin (February’s Snag a Normie Challenge)
T-minus 13 days - Morannon Orcs
The back that had to be broken. The hurdle that had to be leapt. The blight of Pelennor – Morannon orcs. Honestly the subtitle for this post could be “why I’ll never be a batch painter”. There’s nothing fun about the last week of painting – the scheme isn’t very interesting, the models aren’t very good and other than for demo games I don’t know I’ll use them as an army. All this sounds pretty bad…
But look how many got painted!!!
Orcs next to the Warriors of the dead from last weekJust bashing away a little each day, an hour here, a couple of hours there, listening to podcasts and audiobooks, I, Ninjilly The Slow (Painter, thank you very much) to give my full title, painted 36 orcs in 5 days. I’m chuffed to bits.
I forgot to track time in terms of hours spent on them because I just fit them in before bed each night but I reckon it is in the region of 16 hours. Regardless, the sense of achievement in saying that 11 days into this project and I’ve completed 56 models. I didn’t finish 56 models in the whole of 2018.
Next up is a bit of a palette cleanser… The Mordor Troll.
Models painted : 56
Models remaining: 28
They look great, well done! As a fellow slow painter, I’m very impressed with 56 models in 11 days!
