monday you say ? more like moanday 😉

personal painting progress since 1-1 : 0%

beat that :p

Somehow I just can’t find a moment to start hobbying. I could blame lack of time and such, but I’d like to think that things that inspire find a way to make time. Maybe I’m too easily distracted by new shiny things ?
Not sure how to fix that or if that is something that needs fixing at all.

Probably have to find a way to deal with it somehow.

@crazyredcoat that’s as good a name as any 😀
not sure I’d call them ‘girls’ though … which reminds me that I had a plan to build & paint them a while ago.
One of the cults variants has this ‘sneaky snake’ theme to them (purple / bronze theme IIRC), which I liked the idea of.
Tournament lists for these appear to rely on the altar, which kind of sucks as I don’t think it fits the idea behind that sort of thing.

And while the big dragon/snake variant does look tempting I feel it overpowers the rest of it in a way that it shifts the focus away from the normal units a bit too much.

GW is really bad at making rules and army lists that can be themed to match the lore. At least not without dragging a ton of special rules and exceptions into the game. I think that’s why my idea stalled … which sucks.
Maybe I do worry too much about stuff that shouldn’t be a factor while building & painting ?
