Tale of Warmaster Painters [October]

[Lex]

Seems a bit quiet around here has everyone stopped painting

No, still painting (well actualy modeling at the moment). I had planned to start using Armypainter today, but the missus had me mule-ing around town carrying her shoppingbags........  I must also honnestly confess that I am hesitant to use armypainter and "ruin" what I have donw already, but I guess I might bite that bullet tomorrow

Whilst on the subject are we having a new tale in the new year?
This has helped keep me motivated to paint what would have been a killer to do otherwise.

Options for the next tale are albion or chaos dwarf.

Finishing this one around early December and allowing all to get new toys in their stockings to start a new round in January ......

Sorry mates, but I am in hard times at work. So this is not lack of interest in the Tale. I will try to keep advancing in the undead army but from now to january I do not promise to keep the 1 unit per week

So I think my army will not be completed in december.... but I got the intention of continue the tale in 2010 finishing undeads and starting... maybe Almohade/"almoravid" army or El Cid /"christian kingdom" army. Hope this Xmas Santa brings those armies 

Almoravid army could be the shorcut to get the fantasy araby army and also I am toying with the idea of build up a kislev army with alternative figures (russ / novgorod / tartar and so on...).

So that is my situation

Well I'm slowly plodding away with my 1/2-2 hours of painting each night, usually with the 2 hour sessions resulting in a stern telling off from the wife for coming to bed and 12-1am... Once I start painting, I tend to lose track of time until I can no longer focus on what I'm trying to paint...


Anyway, so far I've finished the command stand and almost finished the 2nd stand of a Legion unit. Once it's finished I'll post the pictures and then I think I'll re-focus on trying to finish the WM Pegasus at long last so it can make its way home to Canada, and then I think I will be trying to paint up a SH set to sell, ideally in time for Xmas. Then in the New Year I will again refocus onto getting my WMF Empire army polished off for the Winter Warmer, before again going back to my WMA EIR army to get as much finished for the Spring Campaign weekend as I can. This should be a bit easier then, as I'll have the girls in nursery for the full day for at least two days a week, so in-between my chores, job applications and the like (got to keep my mind active somehow), I should get a little more time for painting than I currently do...


Hmm, long paragraph. Basically this exercise has proven to be very useful for me in keeping me plodding away. Otherwise I do tend to flit about and get far too easily distracted by the TV or computer...

I'm painting right now (or I was about 2 mins ago and will be in about 2 mins)! Real life is getting in the way of painting as (somewhat ironically) is playing with my toys and slowing me down more than I'd hoped. If it wasn't for this thread I'd probably have stopped. I reckon I'll have something new to show next week so it's my first week in which I've slipped behind schedule  . Hopefully I'll get back on track.
