Week 4 has come and gone, so what did I do?

Paint gaunts.

It took one session to complete the 1st batch (of 5 Termagaunts and 1 Barbagaunt) from where I left them last week:

So with reckless abandon, I started the next batch straight away

There was nothing new that happened with the 2nd batch other than deciding to do two Barbagaunts now instead of later. I spent a lot of time going around and fixing mistakes where I found them, trying to eradicate white gaps in the green flesh. Eventually though (after 3 tedious sessions), I got them complete as well.

I want to point out here about the white base, specifically the rims of the base. Given that I was going with a snowy theme, I thought it made sense to go white. Little did I realise how much of a headache it was going to be. I've been using white scar as Mt go to white for a little while, finding it superior to Crovax White as that one was a chalky mess. The colour though is very transparent, and that's before it's thinned down. Given that, I wanted to look at an easier way to do it. I tried Army Painter Lawful White (and ran into the exact same problem). Then I tried store brand paint (in this case Wilkinsons) and found it even worse. Until I can get a different brand White again, I'm stuck using 4-6 layers of White Scar.

Friday came, and with it...

Basing.

That's 10 Termagaunts and 3 Barbgaunts based which brings the Call to Arms total to:

29/47

I'm officially half way through!

Next weeks update will probably be a short one as I've still got plenty of gaunts to get through!

Till then,

Keep on hobbying!
