How are you doing your overcoating on the Cannon? I used to use GW purity seal until they changed the formula to be satin. I’m going to try matte spray from Testors now. Hopefully it’s FLAT. Then I’ll flock it all.... been to cold to overcoat lately.

I'm impressed you can paint that many dwarves at the same time. I can never paint more than 10 detailed models at a time. By the time I paint the same gemstone for the 10th time I hate the gemstone with passion, and it takes me a while to forget how horrible it was for me to go back and do another section of the unit.

I think it has to do a lot with expectations. I am a little like you and for me, it comes down to have too much/long painting queue that I wish I had all painted. That makes me a little stressed and harder to enjoy just painting. I personally work hard on setting my mind to enjoy painting when I do it no matter what I paint. May it be50 gems or something unique. But oh boy there is always a fantastic character to paint instead of massed RnF. even though nothing comes close to a full painted horde on the battlefield.

Understood!! It’s a mindset I built up over years of painting armies. I used to think 7-10 was my limit. I just kept adding guys to my total until I learned a unit at a time was ultimately best for me to be able to get it done. I once had a unit of 40 zombies on my bench for 5 years because I could not stand the thought of painting more zombies ( I had already finished a unit of 40). My current painting kick has enabled me to overcome some of those mental barriers and just power through. That’s how I was able to clean off my bench backlog. I totally get your point tho.

I use the reward method too. In the background you can see a runepriest, that’s my “reward” for getting thru the unit....

Had to do the weapon hafts so I could then highlight around the beard. I am seriously liking how the army color is coming off on these guys very subtly!! Instagram: thekeepgames
