Following on from this Sunday’s talk show, I’ve been trying to focus more on speedy painting and getting through my minis. And today I discovered… I’m a dreadful batch painter. I queued up eight blood bowl humans (this month’s UGNI Miniatures release) and forced myself to paint one colour across each of them before moving on. It was tortuous!
What I wanted to do was paint one character to completion, then move on to the next. But I’ve done that with so many other groups of characters – and to date haven’t got a complete group (even my Blood Bowl orcs that I loved painting are only eight-out-of-a-minimum-eleven done).
So this was all about “screw the mistakes, pick up a colour and apply that colour to every mini in the group”. And after a couple of one-hour sessions, this is as far as I’ve got.
I think once I get to adding the highlights and covering over some of that “grainy” slapchop undercoat, they’ll start to look ok. I’m still not convinced about the blue helmets. But I reckon with a few edge highlights they’ll just have to do!
