In 11 Days, We Ambush
Day Seven
“the paint really isn’t behaving the way I’d like so I changed to just Hexwraith. If I have time later, I’ll tackle the energy thing”
Remember that? The last sentence of yesterday? Yeah, I didn’t wait to have time.
Today I wanted to go over the cloth on the spectres with Nighthaunt Gloom. Does it entirely makes sense that apparitions have different coloured clothing? No, not really but I felt the models needed something to break up the green. In searching through the paints for the Nighthaunt, I found a pot of Nihilakh oxide that I forgot I owned. Going back over the tentacles with that as the animating energy was much better than the Pylar Glacier though it will need highlighting. That’s a future me problem. Probably a tomorrow me.
I was only halfway through a long YouTube video so I decided to get cracking on the scarecrows. I had decided that they were going to have obnoxiously bright skin tones so I grabbed Doomfire Magenta or “Scottish Sunburn” as I prefer to think of it. There was a bit of fear putting it on but I walked around the room for a minute after I finished the first model and then sat down to crack through the rest.
I have a late start at work tomorrow so hopefully should manage a couple of hours painting in the morning. My fatigue makes getting reliable hobby time in the evenings almost impossible. Tonight I had to take an hour long nap just to function. Mornings are better so I try to value them when I can have them free.
