Marauders + paint = progress
It's nice to go from that, to this in a single sitting.
In a strange turn of events, I used white primer for the first time in ages, and then proceeded to paint a very dark and gritty model using the new Citadel Washes. The recipe for the model was simple. Basecoat. Apply a few washes. Reapply basecoat. Apply some final washes. Varnish and photograph.
I'm really excited about how the army will look, and it should be pretty realistic to expect to have it all done in 6 weeks. My current schedule is to finish the army by the 24th of January, which would give me 2 weeks of time to sit back and feel good about myself. The odds are good that I'll be behind schedule at some point, but at least this way I can still suffer a few minor setbacks and still finish with plenty of time to spare.
