In 11 Days, We Ambush

Had a really strong evening of hobby tonight. I’ve started listening to the Rule of Carnage podcast and blasted through a bunch of episodes while getting everything remaining built and primed. Working with the restic wasn’t too bad, though the way some of the mould lines work around the Shadowhound faces is a pest and I couldn’t really get those cleared. 

Honestly, leaving mould lines in place might be the most traumatic thing about this project. 

Done not perfect.

I took the time to go over all the bases with the new energy colour (Nihilakh Oxide) and it is starting to grow on me. Cutting all the painted minis off their painting bases and moving them onto to the regiment multibases was the next job for the evening. Thank goodness for Preferred Model Count! Fitting 15 instead of 20 on these bases was more than enough. I did make sure that no part of them was overhanging the edge of the bases; these models are very spindly and I have no doubt they’d snap as soon as look at their enemies in a charge.

At this point I did have to take an honest look at the situation. I can’t do any hobby tomorrow because it is our RPG night which means I only have one more evening left to paint up everything for the game on Saturday midday. I really wanted to go back over the spectres with a dry brush and the scarecrows with a highlight pass but it’s just not going to happen. By putting them on the bases, they are going to be more difficult to come back to in the future but painting the next steps on just what can be seen when they are all massed up in their regiments is more efficient I guess.
