Full Army Project - 02 - Progress

This is a continuation from my previous post (see here), where i am looking to paint a full sisters of battle army in 1 week.

Main updates:

Brushes:

Main update for this update is that i have bought the brushes i will need. i got some extra Artis Opus brushes from Element games, so that i have spares when I am doing the army. Any mucking around with brushes that are not working for me are going to slow me down. So i have 4 Series S size 3 and 4 brushes coming, and i got a couple extra drybrushes and a spare Series S 000 for doing the eyes.

Assembly:

I’ve been assembling models and have about 25 models assembled, so from the initial 40 i clipped off the sprue i have a few to go, and then i can clip a few more off. I typically assemble a couple a night, or if im too tired to paint i just assemble models. ive also started working on a conversion of an inquisitor.

Once these are all done, i will get some retributors done and the tanks.

Board:

Im planning on a display board for the army, and i got the first batch of Insulation foam cut out on my friend Johns hot wire foam cutter.

Handles:

Ive worked out i am going to buy a couple of lengths of 32mm dowels from Bunnings, then i just need to work out how long i want each piece and ask a friend who has a drop saw or bandsaw to cut them down to size.

Paint Scheme:

Ive nearly finished my current painting project, and then i will be doing a test scheme. im definitely trying a dark red scheme, a metallic scehme and probably a grey/purple scheme. if i can get it to look good i think i will likely go with the metllic scheme, but its early days.

So this is it for now. a bit more progress and its getting closer. see you next time.
