      1 and a half year, and I am not even done with my friends Mordheim possessed warband 😢
      Sadly, It is not even because I have painted anything else instead, I just don't have the time atm....

      I started in 2019 still working on the same army that I started with though I’ve worked on painting stuff from a couple other army’s I’ve collected but I’ve yet to finish a full box of models yet unless it’s a single character. Should have a painted 2k army in the next 2 decades or so

    • @user-lh6eo4kr2p
      @user-lh6eo4kr2p Місяць тому +1

      Honestly, I used to have this problem but genuinely just forcing myself to only work on TWO things at a time, try to make them different types of models in some way, wether it’s a different colour scheme or a different unit type. Also not buying anything new until everything I had was painted was huge.

    I really like the idea of going back and doing the army you really wanted as a kid, colour scheme and all. Not worrying if it is a good army but just recapturing that imagination and love for the models you had as a child.

    Emil, the wardancers are not finished. They are still missing the talismanic tattoos!
    I think two months is more than decent time span for the amount of minis and the painting level. Of course, if you want to use the army to play in old warhammer editions you need waaaaaay more minis, but that is OK

    I would like to ask for your experienced opinion using agitators on acrylic paints. Many opinions out there say to use stainless steel ball bearings yet others say no, due to the fact that these will only damage your acrylic paints when they rust inside. Other opinions suggest to use glass beads because they will not rust; but glass is sometimes not heavy enough as stainless steel to be a good agitator. Lastly, I have also come across others who suggest using volcanic rock beads as agitators because they are natural rock & will not damage acrylic paints. What are the best agitators You know of that will not damage acrylic paints?
    Your wisdom & advice is greatly appreciated

    Luv those classic Wood Elf 🪵 miniatures. Scouring eBay for those old models is something I would love to do. But I think it's a little bit beyond me. Maybe I will have to settle for their nearest modern equivalent.

  • @joegkushner
    @joegkushner 29 днів тому +1

    Is there anything you'd have done differently to hasten the process if you had to do it again?
    Many of those older models like the war dancer and the archers don't have a lot of detail nor do they have a lot of accessories unlike many modern miniatures where pouches, belts, bags, skulls, and other bits are just clogging the miniature. It looks like most of the work you put into it was actual work as opposed to how someone like myself might just slapchop/zenithal and then contrast with maybe a highlight or two over those.

    I've still got a large pile of plastic Skaven but they are mostly from Isle of Blood or later.
    Well, except for my metal Skaven Blood Bowl team from 2nd edition BB.

    Interesting video. Do you think GW minis have changed over the years? If so how? Sizes have increased? More or less detail? More accurate sculptures? Only know HeroQuest models from back then and what they do today (recently returned to painting mini’s) blew me away - even how they put them together. Interested in your thoughts. Don’t think you needed to do this over 24 hours though, painting them and the difference in sculpture, palate challenges would’ve been enough.
    Looking forward to Luca’s video.
