Dirial Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Don't post when you finished a chunk, post when you finished a model! I would like to seem something before the heat death of the universe. Good point. Perhaps I'll do that. (No, I don't think I have a model I consider finished at the moment.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Good luck with painting in any case. Hope you finish stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Morning! do not even ask about an unpainted pile, Ed will tell you how I try and try to even paint a single mini yet the universe conspires against me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterDisaster Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Morning! do not even ask about an unpainted pile, Ed will tell you how I try and try to even paint a single mini yet the universe conspires against me! It took me weeks to even get started on my Lilith crew. Got half way through Nico's crew and gave up. I've got about 10 Masters without a lick of paint on them. It's the worst part of the hobby for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 The thing I hate is that I really enjoy painting, but the muse is damn fickle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I sometimes really like painting. Sometimes I hate it. But it's usually when I try to paint because I have to. When I get the spark to it, well I paint a Ramos crew from scratch to done in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I really like building the models! It's so much fun to puzzle them together and so satisfying if the model is finished and ready to hit the board. I don't like painting too much. It's fun from time to time, but it takes forever!

edonil Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Aye, having that spark really helps. It's why I'm confident I'll be able to tackle at least some of the Skorne pile up, lol. I've had the spark with them enough to finish (or mostly finish) five models already and I'm still just looking forward to the rest. I've never done an event with a paint requirement, not sure if I'd enjoy it or even bother unless the army was 90% done before I agreed to it.

zFiend Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I usually get stuck on details. Like I can and usually do paint a model almost done and then it's the details that I lose my mind with. I painted Seamus' left eye 8 times? And ended up giving him an eyepatch from greenstuff because I wasn't happy with his eye. I just thought to myself well if you wanna be half blind you c.. So you shall be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I like all aspects. Buying, building, painting, playing! Painting I usually don't plan, because it will fail then But sometimes I feel inspired and paint whole armies. THough other times I never chew through chosing a colour scheme....

MasterDisaster Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I have long since given up on details. Short, sweet and simple is the way forward. Also Army Painter Quickshade is just the bomb. It saves a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It saves a lot of time. I used it on my Trollbloods, and it's great. I just wanted my Malifaux models to look slightly less rushed. I still drown them in washes, though.

zFiend Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I drown everything in washes as well. They really forgive a starting painter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Washes, the cheat paints! I fully aprove of using them. Without them, I would most likely have far more ugly models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirial Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 So we all agree on something? Hopefully, all the people in the other threads who always see us fighting don't come in here. Our image will be destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, cottage cheese and pineapple was out, so I added moldy fish and onions to keep the Finnish flavor. I seasoned with mint sauce and stale beer for MasterDisaster. Am I doing the war invoking right?

zFiend Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 It's just not the same kind of a war declaration as it would be in poem form.. Where is PD btw? There is a poem thread open and the guy hasn't typed anything in there. I am starting to get worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
