Paint is being applied

Sorry About the lack of updates lately. As the tournament approaches everything becomes SNAFU.

A couple crazy weeks at work combined with painting frantically doesn't leave alot of time for anything else in my life atm.

It is a nice feeling to have at least some progress done.
I'll do a proper progress report later but for now you get this one preview picture. It's barely even started, there is no detail done yet or weathering but at least you get to see the work in progress.

So how does one cope with having to build/paint so much in such a short period of time?
Breathing in a brown paper bag helps j/k

It's all about prioritizing. I'm lucky enough to have some backup figs I can use in case of dire need, that lets me concentrate on the most important things in my new army (The vehicles)

I'm also painting my vehicles as a lot. Painting four trukks at a time feels time consuming and slow going because you don't get to see alot of progress at once but its actually quite a bit faster and everything gets done at the same time since you're not constantly switching between colours and cleaning up between small steps.

I'm also squeezing in some work on some infantry and my Warboss since I find that more interesting, if anything it's just to keep me motivated.

I keep a list on a whiteboard of what I need to accomplish during a power painting day or over a week. I find it helps to keep me focused and I can erase steps once there done giving me instant gratification (even if the figs themselves aren't done) because again it's all about staying motivated.

I also made the mistake of calculating how many points of figs I had completely done.

450/1500

It's depressing really.

And in my army there's no 250 point tank that I can finish quickly to raise that up. No No... everything is 40-50 points or 100 point infantry squads.

Now if you'll excuse me I'll go back to painting and trying to figure out try to figure out why I like punish myself. ;)
