Yesterday morning I actually managed to put some paint on a few models (the Knights of Morr). I actually think they are turning the corner and now are increasingly looking more ‘done-ish’ rather than half painted lumps of plastic. I now need to push a little and I may finally get them off of my painting desk. That still leaves the horde of halberdiers to finish painting. I am beginning to think that I might be better off just now pulling 5 or so out at a time and finishing them before picking up the next 5 in hopes that each small moment of accomplishment will spur me along to start the next. They are all half painted so they should keep that unified look to them.
Also in the hobby news, I will be getting a dual action air brush for my birthday from my lovely and long suffering wife! While there are some things I may want to do with Warhammer miniatures with it (specifically, I think it might be ace for doing the skin on ogres and I have a pile of Japanese miniature bits to convert my ogres to a Japanese theme so that might be a project this year), I think that Firestorm Armada mini’s might be a better fit for this tool. They are larger, which will be helpful as I learn how to use it, and the air brush will allow some effects to be done very quickly on them so that I can get some more fleets into action sooner with the new V2.0 version of the rules.
