Back At it..some WIPs

Well I have pried my self away from Civ 5 long enough to do a bit of work. Since the models in the Island of Blood set are so nice, I decided I needed to buy one. I traded the Skaven to a friend of mine in exchange for his High Elves. I assembled and cleaned the Swordmasters and the mage from the box.

Warhammer Fantasy Build Up: Help from 1000 to 1250

     Ok, last winter I ran a build up event at the LGS. Not tooting my own horn but it was a pretty big success. So now with the release of WFB:8th we are doing one for fantasy. This is being hosted by Gauthic. I am working on my Orcs and Goblins for this event, but I am having trouble deciding what to do. I have been playing the following list at 1000 pts and have done "ok" with it. List is after the jump.

Well, I have busted my butt today to get this thing painted so I can break open Master Manipulator properly with a hopefully helpful post. Let me give you a bit of back story here. I am the kinda guy who owns lots of stuff, but very little of it is painted/finished. Now, its not because of the lack of ability. I am not that bad with brush and paint. I just have a problem maintaining focus. I also tend to obsess about the details making my projects take longer than necessary, and that is one habit I have been able to over come with this army. I have tried to forgo much layering and just stick to some simple colors that all work well together.

 

 Here is a step by step (sort of) of how I painted by Rock Lobber, after the break of course....
