About the Project
What's that supposed to be, a "paintathon"? The paintathon is a painting offensive. I want to use my free days and the evenings after work in October to get something done, getting paint on minis. My minimum goal is to paint 42 miniatures (following the km of a marathon) ready to play. The goal is deliberately set so low. This was started by Tom of Magabotato.de in 2016 and happens annually. Join me! Let's see if I can make it this year.

Day 9
Next up: Rebel Veterans.
First the fiddly bits. Skin, boots and guns. The metallic paint always annoys me because it clogs the brush so fast. Tomorrow: belts, straps and other small, colourful details.
Day 10
Details… can you see the difference? If I hadn’t taken the pictures I would have said “feels like nothing done” but the pictures show… something done 😉
Day 11
Unmotivated, tired and my back hurt.
But I did paint the gloves… rest of the greens tomorrow.
Day 13
So after all that green… now for some green and brown spots, different washes for everything and black bases. Done.
Miniature count finished: 14
Day 14
You know what sucks? painting grey plastic grey…. I primed the minis black, did a white highlight and then painted the fur grey. After that a light dry brush but because the grey hadn’t dried enough it a mess.
So you hide your mess with a thinned wash.
And now I leave it to dry and try dry brushing again….
Day 15
Yes, I’m late with the updates but when I’m finished for the day I’m spend and go to bed directly 😉
Here’s more details on the leather parts (snakebite leather FTW), metal pieces and horns and claws.
