The nice part of not being a commissioned painter is not having to work with deadlines and being able to just 'not paint' when you no longer feel like painting. Yes the evil burnout demon has reared it's ugly head after completing the gigantic Abyssal Dwarf Army. I have gotten a few things done though. First of all I've expanded my campaign tile sets and am using them as part of a 40k campaign:
And as time/ambition permits I've been toiling away on a Brotherhood army based off the old Bretonnian style Warhammer armies.
I do want my peasants to strike their lord's colors however they will be heavily muted and rather 'dirty' to represent their much lower standing on the power rungs...
In order to have a 'proxy' army up and running I though it would be good to just do a single model on each multi-base to start out with. The above is the start of the abyssal hunt regiment.
So far there is a lot of the army that isn't done but I can at least try out a few combinations as I slowly paint up the minis. Each knight especially has wildly varying heraldry and I really can't do an assembly method like I'm used to for speeding it up.
I'm starting to get back on track so hopefully I can get some more crazy stuff painted up soon! I'll have decent pics of the Brotherhood up as the units are finished as well.
