Thanks for the kind words.
It is nice to see a lot more painting on here putting my efforts to shame
@Rolgan: dude my output these past 6 months has been shocking, I used to be able to do a 2k army in a couple of weeks. But those marauder models just sat there and they ended up being a large mental block
@guthwine: No, standard eagle riders from eureka. But I didn't read the army list properly so did about 3 only to discover only druids can ride them
@DCH: Now if I tell you the secret of my metallics will you keep it to yourself
I have had about 5 different metallic paints bought from a craft store. They are branded as 'anitas metallics' and they do some really nice ones, especially useful for slaanesh armies.
I just use a chainmail over black overbrush, followed by the metallic blue, followed by a very, very light highlight of mithril.
Hopefully now my painting block has gone and I have some funds I will be able to proceed.
The first 10 packs of my Araby arrived this week and the kids are keen on me to paint an Aladin army so that does look favourite, but I am yearning to do the kislevs (although they play like poo) and the brets.
