Ghost Bears
Lessons learned and what next?
So can you paint a full Clan Trinary and support elements in 7 days? No, not if you actually enjoy hanging out with your partner, which is why i didn’t finish them Friday night.
8 Days? Yes.
So what did i learn? masking is fun. I haven’t used it with Mini’s before. I do for paintings, but its weirdly medative.
Cutting Elementals from bases is stupid and annoying. Initially I cut myself more than the base. In the end i cut the cases with clippers and then used clippers to cut the elementals from the remains. You lose bases, but not fingers! This is a positive.
I really like these, the colour scheme has a real naval vibe. i think the cold majority with points of orange tied to the base colour works really well. Are they the best paint job i have ever done? God no. Are they table top ready? Yup and i think they will look amazing on a proper table.
So what next? Well i could add the other 2 Trinaries of the cluster, but that maybe a long term thing as to get the plastics i would need that fit Ghost Bears it will involve a lot of packs with a lot of spares, so i will need to figure out the project after for those spares. Yeah im weird i dont like grey plastic sitting around the house. Maybe in a future blog i’ll explain why and how it ties to giving up smoking. But for now it is a mystery for you to ponder.
I need to add a group shot to this project, black rim some of the bases. But then its done.
Really what is next is a 40k Chaos army for the new Ed once i get paid. I’ll give you some concept art for the idea i have below. 🙂
Oh noes! Iz a Dolphin of Dooooom (extra -ooo- for super spooky creepy vibes worthy of Chaos) and his disgruntled grunion minions. Yes, grunion may be related to anchovy but don’t hold that against them
I’m pretty sure it’s an OTTer, which I appreciate
