Headed to the cleaners? Its time to join the league

Currently sat writing up these blog posts late on the 20/6/23 thinking why did I leave it so late to capture pictures and document my process. Part of it is me personally, the other half is I am however always biting off way more than I can chew. So here is the comprehensive list for those that want to know how I did.Totalling up from the kickstarter excluding any 3d terrain there is 125 Pcs to paint at a minimum.

March 30^th 1 Mini (Shreddin’ Bhette) painted for a competition and is therefore not included in the count. I have however routinely each week spending about 5-7 hrs across 2 sessions. One on a Thursday night whilst streaming over with a mate on youtube, the other being a few hours on a Sunday evening.

So in the grand scheme of things we have approximately 90 hours spent on this little lot with an odd couple of hours elsewhere or calling it early to prevent burnout.

For a total of – 44 minis with some form of coloured paint, some are nearly finished require a few details or the base to be done others have just a couple of colours blocked in such as the armour and shields on the spearmen.

So for the amount of time spent on this project I have finished nearly half and got colour onto another 3rd of the project. For me that is absolutely insane, I will usually spend several hours per individual model. However utilising contrast type paints has taught me with the correct preperation work of a high contrast zenithal, or utilising m airbrush where possible I can get results I am happy with in less time. Admittedly these are not up to my usual painting standards, however they are board gaming pieces, and furthermore are not the crispiest or best detailed models due to the PVC material.
