September paint log


Painting for this month was slow. This is due to spending a bit more time out of the house at weekends, (things like having to shop for new computer parts, actually celebrating my birthday and seeing family). But I did manage to finish up a fair amount of minis.
My quest to try and paint all of my Menoth before the end of of October will now undoubtedly fail. There are two one day events coming up that will take up a bit of time. The first is a WarmaHordes tier list only day coming up in the first weekend.. Everyone will choose two casters/warlocks and both lists have to be Tier two and above. As a result, I have hastily changed my painting priorities and brought out some of my Skorne minis. The Void Spirits, Feralgeist and Cyclopses will enable me to have a fully painted Mordikaar Tier 4 list. I now want to paint a Catapult, Flayer Cannon and Tyrant Vorkesh (the last two I've just gotten from bought) in readiness for Saturday. There is no painting restriction on this event, but recently I've made it a point to play with a fully painted force these days. The second one dayer I will be using my Gators, all of which are fully painted so I don’t have to rush anything.
Hopefully I can go back and paint up as much of my Menoth as I can before I take a break from all aspects of gaming in November.

So, here’s what I've finished and how they were at the beginning of the month, a grand total of 22 models finished:

Feralgeist, Void Spirit unassembled à finished and based
Cyclops Shaman, Reclaimer assembled bare metal à finished and based
Agonizer, Reclaimer, 2 x Void Spirits, Zealots (max) undercoated àfinished and based
Basilisk Krea, 2 x Cyclops Savage, Mordikaar nearly finished à finished and based

Priority for October, as mentioned above, is finishing Tyrant Vorkesh and my artillery pieces. After that I will try and forge ahead with my Menoth. I also bought myself a Sagorat heavy infantry to add to my Space monkey force, so that will be sneaking itself onto my paint table.
