Silver & Black (Raider Nation)

Another lunch hour done, another little bit painted. VGC Black still holding up well in the wet palette, I plopped some VGC Chainmail Silver down and a spot of SWM Soft Body Black Wash and I was able to get the teeth & running gear silvered, touched up and washed on 10 Blood Claws. I even squeaked a bolt pistol on a Grey Hunter in as well as tidying up another Grey Hunter\’s bolter. W00T!

Into the detail steps now, the overall progress has slowed, but it continues to show me that even just spending an hour or so, some steps can be accomplished, getting closer to the goal of having models ready for the table. I wish I could paint longer and more often, but this is the most CONSISTENT I\’ve been with paint work in possibly the entire time I have enjoyed this hobby. I look forward to keeping it up. If one considers the possibility that I may finish these 30 Marines before the 30h mark, then it may even be safe enough to say that at similar pace, 20 rank & file troops for any game system can be done and table-top ready in a month using ONLY lunch breaks from work. That\’s 240/year. Amazing, just thinking about it.

Why didn\’t I start this sooner?
