Hamsta's Path of Conquest, The Spires

After a week of being awake in about 20 min spurts followed by 2hrs of sleeping (chemo does suck), the docs adjusted my meds, and I had only 2 hrs sleep over the next 36 hours!

So at 3am, whilst the rest of the house was asleep, and I’d redecorated  the house 3 times, chosen and then rejected a new car, planned, replanted and cancelled a summer holiday (all in my mind of course), I decided to get up and slap some paint on the larger beasties of the Spires.

chemo meds are typically in flux for the first few weeks (so I’m told), so my sleep patterns and energy levels will also be all over the shop for a while, so progress is going to be… staggered, for a while at least.

So here is where I am at this point.

The objectives will be painted to tie in with the troops, so not much to say there, I just need to lock in a colour scheme for the army as a whole.

My original plan; was pinkish, red for the fleshy parts, and purple for robes and wraps, but I’m now thinking it’ll clash too much.

The bone is copious amounts of GW Skeleton Horde Contrast paint. Once dried, I applied a 2nd coat over the areas I wanted a little darker (outer most bone layer and gauntlets on the Brutes mostly).

My plan is for weapons is to go darker, so I’m thinking a thinned coat of Greu contrast over the top of the bone.

I don’t get to paint in purple very often, so I’m still keen to use it, so I may move the purple to the “skin” areas, but that still leaves me with the wrap colour to work out. My 100 Kingdoms uniforms will be a white/green heraldry, so I don’t want to use those. When I get a chance to crack on with my Nords, I’m thinking a lot of black (or VERY dark brown) fur (got to avoid the pitfall of brown, leather, brown and brown), so black is also out for the wraps.

Thoughts very appreciated from you, the community.
