And about time too….

November 3, 2008

I know, I know. I said I’d keep on top of the posting. I said I’d do a regular update on the progress of the army. Well real life got in the way, not only is there more work to do than in a regular Olympic build up but I have only had one day off in the last 8 weeks, this was yesterday, and was my 5th anniversary with my other half. Not going to get away without doing something for that!

On to the stuff you all want to see:

I managed to get most of the sticking done Friday before last – I got it all sprayed and put it out on the table top to see if it would fit.

The army spanning the entire 6 feet of table!

As you can see even with borrowing a few units from Andy there was still over 200 models to paint. I did manage to enlist a little help from some poor fools.

He doesn't work here... does he?

And by the end of the day we had quite few done. Just need to base them.
Another 80 done.

With a lot of tenacity and no little blood, sweat and tears I managed to get the whole lot done. Not a feat that I would like to attempt again any time soon. But you always need more units, and there is nothing like an upcoming tournament to give you a deadline!
And here is how it looks on the table top, opposite Andy Potters fine Dark Elves.
Is it Warhammer or Warmaster?
