Let's Get Motivated - September 2022

[Explodingzeb]

My goals were:

• Finish painting my Super Tactical Droid. DONE
• Build C3P0 and maybe some other models. DONE - Built C3P0 and a Bastiladon with magnetised weapon options.
• Get some practice with my newly acquired airbrush. DONE - Used my airbrush to prime and base coat a bunch of models.
• Play a game of 8th Edition and maybe some Star wars Legion. DONE - Played one game of 8th Edition and 2 games of SWL.
• Make progress painting at least one more project. DONE - Base coated 14 Commando Droids and C3P0. Painted the base for a crashed escape pod piece of terrain.

A pretty successful month. It felt great to finally get to play some games, especially with painted armies.

I'll give this a shot! My goals will be:

-Finish painting Astrolith Bearer kitbash pair (got one done!)
-Finish painting Sunblood kitbash
-Start painting one of the Stegodons
-Start converting one of the Slann Mage Priests
-Acquire some blank round bases to start basing/re-basing the old army

I'm worried it might be a lot, but I've already started painting one of the Astrolith Bearers! Will work some more on them tomorrow afternoon!

So I definitely bit off more than I could chew I had less time to paint than I anticipated, but I did complete one of the two Astrolith Bearers before September was officially over! I'm feeling a little fatigued by the time-consuming and detailed hero kinda guys, for October I'm shifting my focus to smaller and more incremental things.

My goal this month are:

• Paint the piece of terrain that I made last month
• Finish converting the remaining 4 Saurus so that I have my first half of the unit done
• Finish sculpting on the last remaining Saurus heads
• Get materials for next month's project

A few curvballs were thrown at me so some plans had to be changed. But I still think it's worth noting my progress

• The terrain piece is almost finished, just need to paint some gold parts and touch up the bits where my brush slipped (sidenote for me: do not use the same stone painting technique that I used fory underworlds warbands for any future seraphon stuff)
• This conversion will take longer than expected. I need to make the new limbs blend in and not have the saurus holding their weapons in awkward position
• At least the heads look are don and ready for help in my great plan
• This project is moved to mid november/early december since the materials won't arrive until then
• Bonus, fixed up some skinks, now I have 5 with boltspitters and 5 with moonstone clubs. In the future they will evolves 2 units with their respective weapons
