Emporer's Champion complete!

I have no more miniatures to build and paint. (My son - on the other hand - has piles of Skaven, Death Guard, Seraphon, Plague Marines, Storm Cast and Chaos Demons piled up in his room.)

Been painting the Emporer's Champion this evening. It's my last unpainted miniature. I've been very self-controlled and only bought new miniatures once I've finished what I have. No grey piles of shame for me! (My next purchase will be a Redemptor Dreadnought.)

Sword brothers almost finished. These have taken MUCH longer than I thought. Not sure why. I only paint a little at weekends - but even so, they've been a challenge. Maybe I'm doing too much sub-assembly which then takes time putting together carefully when painted. Perhaps I'll try just completely assembling and see how I get on. I still read people online claiming they can paint a mini like this in 1-2 hours. I don't know how.

Up early and spraying sword brothers and an Emperor's Champion. I want to get much of the painting of these finished this weekend. My aim is to start the new year with no outstanding models to paint. Then buy a dreadnaught. No grey piles of shame around here!

The whole finished: crusader sword brother, initiates and neophytes. Next up are four (more) sword brothers. My aim is to finish the minis that I have (swird brothers and Emperor's Champion) and the get a dreadnought in the new year.

Finished initiates for the crusader squad. While painting these I realised how I've become more accurate with painting small details and being more confident in applying paint. I used to agonise about making mistakes but able to sort out when something goes wrong. With these I've also improved painting the eyepieces on the visors - which is a tiny thing but used to give me so much grief.

Worked on initiates this weekend. Made some progress in FINALLY finding a recipe for tabards I like as well as for leather (both of which I haven't felt I'd got quite right before). So I'm pleased with that. I should finish them next weekend - which will complete their crusader squad. I spent a long time trying to highlight... but it was SO awful I gave up and simply drybrushed the armour with a leadbelcher/dark reaper mix.
