Luke - Month 2 - White Scars
Already one month down, huh? And I believe things are progressing quite smoothly!
Let's recap January. As mentioned in my previous post, I painted a test model! I wanted to ensure I was completely satisfied with it, adhering to the hobby guidelines I outlined in my last post, and I was! So I have pushed through and all but finished the first squad of ten marines, and made significant progress on the second squad as well.
The final task remaining for these initial ten is to apply the metallic finishes after their final varnish, a relatively swift task. However, the current source of my most significant challenges lies in how to do the bases. I’ve been back and forth with myself on how to approach this - should the bases adopt a grey, red-themed, or desert aesthetic? Should they be kept plain, adorned with clutter, or built up?
I've decided to allocate a few days at the start of February to resolve this matter, focusing on basing the first squad before returning to the painting of the remaining units.
The plan for the remainder of February is to complete the first squad of Sky Hunters, finalize all twenty Tactical Marines, and potentially make progress on the Stormseer.
Alasdair and I have agreed to commit to approximately 750 points per quarter for this blog. Therefore, my target for fully painted models by April includes the below list.
- Centurion w/ Scimitar Jetbike, Power Glaive, Cyber Hawk
- (Stormseer)
- 10 Tactical Marines
- 10 Tactical Marines
- 3 Skyhunters w/ Volkite Culverins
- 3 Skyhunters w/ Volkite Culverins
- 3 Skyhunters w/ Multi Melta
That being said as mentioned in my last post I have signed up for an event with this army which is also in April. My aspiration is that by then, my quarterly 750 points will resemble more of a 1500-point force. I won't guarantee they'll all be 100% finished, but I aim for them to be event-worthy at the very least.
So that wraps up this month! I look forward to updating you all in March and am hopeful about meeting the commitments I've outlined in this post.
