Hobby projects - October 2020

 Let's review how I did against the goals I set myself last month, and look at what I'm hoping to get done this month.

Last month's goals

1. Paint a second frigate and repair my first one: complete! I love painting Kharadron boats, so this was a fun project.

2. Paint 10 irondrakes for my ghost dwarf force: complete! I even made a start on a second box, but ran out of steam on them partway through so they're sitting on top of my shame pile at the moment.

Ten dwarf models painted with rusty brown army and their eyes and weapons in a ghostly blue colour scheme


3. Plan my armies on parade board, and get together the materials I need to make it: partly complete. I have a rough plan (which I'll go into in a future post), but haven't picked up any of the stuff I need for it yet. I need to spend some time watching terrain tutorial videos to figure out how best to go about it.

Not a bad hobby month though, all in all.

This month the main thing I want to do is to finish off my Kharadron Overlords army. I have all the models I need, and they're all built, so I just need to paint some skywardens, a squad of thunderers, an Aetherkhemist, and the big one, an Arkanaut Ironclad. I reckon that's about a month's worth of painting, so hopefully I can get it all done and wrap up this army.

I also want to work on my display board, so if I get bored of painting Kharadron I can switch to that to break things up a bit.

That should keep me pretty busy this month I think. No new projects planned yet, but I'm starting to kick around ideas for what my next army project might be once the Kharadron are off the painting desk.
