Bit of a mini update guys, I finished painting the whole faction! Was too excited not to share. Also took lots of individual pics, any interest in those? Anyway, there it is - that's max FA for everything except the Death Knell in the faction.
What to paint next....
Max FA, you say? Have to ask, where did you stop on crabbits/cask imps (I can't tell in the picture). Cause you can get a TON of those, and I've been debating just how insane to go (already committed to 18 cask imps, which should be the most I could possibly ever need). I have eight Crabbits and twelve Cask Imps - I've never felt the need for more than that

Individual pics would be cool. Perhaps small groups so we can see them better?

But you'll have to click on this blog link I've put out three heavy pieces in the last couple weeks, and felt the need to write something less arduous as a bit of a palette cleanser. Lots of pics here as I look back at my last five months of painting, from NIB Grymkin models furiously assembled at Lock and Load to fully painted on December 9th, it was quite a journey! www.loswarmachine.com/losgeneral/2017/12/12/warmachine-grymkin-army-year-in-review-painting

You put me to shame, Charles.
I thought I was doing really well on painting my Grymkin. They arrived mid-August, and I was really proud of painting up the following:
Heretic Dreamer + Phantasms 4 Crabbits 2 Skinnies 2 Cage ragers 2 Gorehounds 2 piggy units 1 Hollow Men unit 1 Dread rot unit Twilight Sisters Witchwood Longfellow Kyriana Rose Death Knell 2 Glimmer Imps 2 gremlin swarms (put the final coat of varnish on these literally 10 minutes ago).
That should be good. That should be bragging rights good.
You have set one hell of a bar, man. I salute you.

That's a crapload of models painted since August. I've had a whole extra month on you, and various PP staffers ragging on me when I post batreps with unpainted dudes (which is good motivation there).

So I painted up my gremlin swarms using the sketching method. I'm lukewarm on the results, some things I like (the warjack arms came out with great lighting effects) and some things less thrilled (not a fan of the gremlin skin tone, gold metal was not fantastic either). Wasn't much faster than my normal (painfully slow) layered highlighting method, but that's probably just lack of familiarity with the style. I'll post up some photos once I work out how to do so for reference. Painted up the Child as a pallette cleanser (I'm so sorry) and now I'll try do better on the murder crows. Any advice from the swarms would be appreciated. -und_ed I think this might work...

It's hard to tell from the picture, but I think you may have used a glaze that is too opaque, I'm not seeing too much of the highlight or shadow on the gremlin swarms. Also, took down a champs event yesterday playing old witch in bump all three games, batreps to come soon

Awesome game! Well done. I've had my eye on trapperkin since they were released in War Room so it's nice to see them popping up (pun intended) in lists nowadays
