Title: Darkson's warband WIP
Post by: Darkson71 on 25 July 2015, 01:37:12 PM
Just because I've been gaming for 20-odd years doesn't mean I can paint, or even that I stick models together, so the fact this game has fired my up to raid my minatures cupboard and start on a warband speaks volumes!

So, with no further ado:

A rummage for suitable figures - is this going to be enough?

Slight derailment due to undercoating issue - old GW Skull white spray makes a nice snow effect, but not so good for undercoating.  ;)

Test your cans man!   lol  I too have learned that the hardway.  Now I keep a couple of spare box tops or minis laying around to test my sprays.  That sucks.  Did they clean up well enough?

Just sprayed over the top of them* the next day, and they're fine - luckily it was a fine spray when it came out of the can and I wasn't to close.


* Well, a mate sprayed them for me, as it was his spray as I had none left.

actually one does not need minis for testing, just spray it on cardboard or even sprues, if You need plastic.

To answer Your other question if You got enough minis ... I do not think so. One never does!  ;D

You got some nice mixes running there, will be curious how this will turn out.

best wishes

Not as much progress as I'd have liked (and much of it ruined when I tried to add black to the areas I wanted to make metallic) but t least I've made a start. :oops:
