New edition check in 3

Image
 Hey everyone  I was aiming to do these check ins weekly, but missed last week, as I was finishing up the marine batch.  On the bright side, that's done! Here's a quock look if you hadn't seen these photos: With all the infantry now officially painted, I was eying up the tanks. Unfortunately, 2 of them needed to be built, a fellblade/glaive, and a falchion. To keep the progress up, I needed these built before the weekend, so I got cracking, and managed to finish them from their partly built state I acquired them in by Friday.  Over the course of Saturday, I sprayed the tanks, and a random collection of weapon options for various tanks and Dreadnoughts I had lying around, and got all the tanks out ready for the batch paint stages: The two stages I want to batch paint, was a silver drybrush for some highlights, and an oil wash. Both these took less time than I expected, thanks to some large brushes, so here is the result: From here, for practical reasons they will be finished

 Hey everyone  Another week, another check in. Life jumped in on a couple days, but apart from that I feel like I'm making good progress. The 150 infantry batch paint is halfway through the dark green, which I'm hoping to finish tomorrow. A day later than scheduled, but I did jump ahead to do a couple of shorter colours to break up the largest ones. Once the green base is out of the way, things will speed up for a bit. Let's take a look at the tracker: That daily average has dropped unsurprisingly, and will keep going down. I'm expecting to be behind until the bases are done. In other news, the last bases arrived, and I'm heading out to get static grass this afternoon, so I'll have basically everything I need to get to the finish line. See you in a week. -Mark

 Hi Everyone  Time for a quick progress check in. I'll try and do a short post each week to see how I'm tracking, rather than more regular large ones.  So, first big win, the 10th company batch is finished! So the bases and transfers are still needing to be done, but that will come later. Next up I started the large batch with all remaining infantry: Since I had everything in front on me, I quickly rechecked my numbers, turns out there was more left to paint than I thought. I started off with painting the base coats on the majority not silver models (Techmarines, librarians and watchers), then broke out a large brush to start the inks. Let's check the dashboard: So far on track, with a couple painting free days in there. TThat's all for this week. See you soon. Mark
