Short session tonight, having been to the skate park with #2 son and then watched "Fantastic Mr Fox" but have got to a nice stage with the first five nuns.
TGM TOP TIP: If I'm painting a team or army using the same swatch of colours, (no special characters), I tend to do these in fives or sixes. I'll paint all of the gonks using one colour before starting the next colour. This way the paint is dry on the first figure as I'm finishing the last.
So, I've added the two blues as described yesterday; tidied up the black, (which makes up most of the clothing), then painted on Bright Bronze and Chainmail to the "crucifix gauntlet" and steel caps.
TGM TOP TIP: I use a separate brushes and water for metallic paint as it tends to stay in the bristles and will then come out onto other colours. To identify these brushes I dip the top into silver so that it's easily identifiable.
Suddenly, the figures look alive and playable!
I'll give the metal colours a "wash" and then let them dry overnight. (Badab Black on the silver and Baal Red on the bronze).
I get all my supplies at The Games Vault including Games Workshop washes, Vallejo paint and Rotmarder-Kolinsky brushes, (these are triangular rather than round and are really comfy to hold, especially into the small hours...)
The first gonks in a team like these nuns always takes the longest as I'll play with colours and shades. Once I know what works and have written down what I've done and in what order the rest are not normally a problem.
