Cadre of Mesme Ukos Refresh

Looking at everything that made it back to the cabinet painting gives me a real glow. It’s so nice to have the kick and drive to be finishing off without getting distracted.

I know the spring clean challenge is officially over but I don’t think I can stop now….

so this is now my ‘countdown to new year’ challenge. Let’s see if I can finish them all off before December ends!

Besides, I really need to know just how many bottles of paint it takes to finish the army & just how many more than I needed I ended up panic buying when the paint range changed….

So, back in the aeons and deluge of time I decided I needed to buy as much paint of my army colours when  they announced they would be switching to a new paint range.

I figured I’d need plenty so I could finish everyone and be all set when the time came.

I have made it to the end of the challenge using up a grand total of………………………………………………………………………………………….

2 paints. One vomit brown and one red gore!

Last but not least. The aircraft!
I really want to do a good job on these and have been anxious about my lack of painting skill. They are likely to be one of the last things I paint in a vague hope I’ll suddenly and miraculously become an amazing painter overnight.

Given the near 20 years wait I doubt it’s happening anytime soon so I may as well paint them 🙂

So many suits, so little time…

There’s still a few left to paint but I can’t wait to see how they look when I finally finish them!

Undercoated and ready to go, the tanks have been patiently waiting alongside as I painted my way through other items. Receiving a coat here and a coat there in between the smaller fry.

While they take awhile to paint they look lovely once done, so I’ll keep on keeping on 🙂

So, here we are at the end of the Spring Clean Challenge and it’s been so much fun!

I have decided that I’m going to continue on with the Tau and keep updated this blog for fun 🙂 as it has helped me to keep my motivation.

Here is my round up of where I’ve got to at the challenge deadline.

Battlesuit progress at the end of the line….

My battlesuits are shaping up nicely. Still work to be done but I am pleased that I managed to get as far as I have.
