Dreadball Spring Clean Hobby Challenge 2022

I got a couple of hours in after work last night and was able to all bu paint the bases and apply transfers on a bunch of models.  I’ll do that en masse later on, or as a time filler while waiting for washes to dry.

Anyway, here’s what i did.

1.  I tried to drybrush the blue highlights, but it wasn’t working.  The area was too small and the brush was too big, and there wasn’t enough detail for it to catch on.  I ended up badly painting on the two tones of highlight, following the earlier guide.
2. I painted the corporation eyes with P3 Khador Red base.  Normally I’d undercoat with white, but the old guys eyes don’t look vibrant and I’m trying to colour match so I skipped the undercoat.
3. I did undercoat white the eyes on the Refbot.  I then based them with Warcolours Pink 3, and painted a central dot of Pink 1 in to each as least-hamfistedly as I could.
4. I then drybrushed the highlight on to the Z’zor bug people, following the Chitin guide from a couple of posts back.
5. Their claws, teeth and horns were then painted with P3 Cryx Bane base, drybrushed with P3 Hammerfall khaki and washed twice with GW Nuln Oil
6. The bug eyes were undercoated white, based with P3 Heartfire, and given a dot of P3 Cygnar Yellow
7. The tree man was given a drybrush of Coat d’Arms Horse Tone Bay.
8. The undead flesh was given its final highlight as a heavy drybrush, following the earlier guide
9. I wasn’t quite ready to quit for the night, but didn’t want to start something new so I applied a few coats of white undercoat to the front arc of everybody, ready to take some red later.

That’s my Friday evening done. I’ve been at this a week and I have 12 models all but finished, and strong progress made on a whole lot more, and I don’t feel like I’ve really spent any solid time painting yet.  Tomorrow I head back to the Marauders and the Asterians I think for a whole day of painting.
