I treated myself to a killteam, wanting to get back into painting mode so I purchased some Fellgor Ravager.
Day 1 built the team and based them, started working on the first.
I’m out of the most basic hobby supplies (had to buy primer and glue just for this 1 team) and hoping to paint them with the limited stuff I have left before spending more money.. limited pallet will help with decisions since I’m not a good painter.
Very excited to get back into the swing and challenging myself to paint these guys well.

The journey continues, painted model carefully sawed off base, base made more elaborate with bits from here and there… feeling good

Today I got base coats and some basic details on my squad for the competition.
I wanted to get them done to a decent standard and then make a cool display, just good enough to say “done” before we creep too close to the 3rd
My main entry has fallen on hard times… super glue and some bad paint means some basing bits are looking really rough but it’s too late now! Hopefully the model is good enough a slightly chunky base won’t hurt.
The journey continues

If it's the base, repainting, flock, tufts, stone/sand, etc. can go a long way to covering those unsightly blemishes. Might make the difference. And never click as you are distracted. That's how you wind up liking your own post.

Plugged away some more on some special basing elements.
Going to try doing some masking with painters tape for the first time, that’s going to be fun!
Also bought some little pieces of wood and I am thinking about making an additional base for my single entry with it.
Anyways, just trying to keep myself motivated and having fun

Oh and I think I’m going to try using 99% alcohol with a makeup brush to scrub at the pieces which were over glued/painted
Hopefully I can do a very localized repair

If all goes to plan this will be the final day of painting for golden brush 2024.
A few last minute touches and a varnish (assuming I can get my airbrush working again) and I will have plenty of time to make it to nexus to drop off.
Don’t know if my work has improved since last years and I must admit I could easily continue working for hours but I’m happy with what’s there 😊
I can’t wait to see what others have cooked up
