There’s so much overlapping detail, so many different textures, and so many unnecessary bits and bobs for a bunch of chaff. I saved these guys for last among the mobs, as I knew I’d hate painting them. I can’t say the same for the next group of models, unfortunately.
The Corpse Rats actually weren’t so bad I was really dreading getting my paintbrush between all the rats but by picking out a couple in each swarm with different colors, I really got the effect I wanted. With one hero and a couple mobs of idiots to go, I went back to batch painting. I figured since he’s the sort of paymaster of the crew, he’d have actual gold and not just rusty metal or weathered bronze on him. While it took a bit of color scheme finagling, I came to a final product I really liked. First up, I finished Dagnai Holdenstock, or Dang Guy, Haltertop as I stupidly keep calling him: Over the past month I finally finished Cursed City, then moved on to a bunch of other projects all at once. With this I can now run a whole 20 blob of them! I also got more skitarii stuff done in the form of 10 more vanguards! To finish out that SC box I also did some wraithblades! I ended up just doing a crude zenithal with the magnets being in shade and the top of the gun being in light, although that does mean it doesn’t look great on all mounts but I wasn’t sure how I would get it to look good on both the Wraithlord and warwalkers.

I had a go at magnetizing this one which turned out ok, although given the weapons are supposed to work on the other magnetized models that does present a challenge with regard to figuring out how to highlight them.
I was also feeling like painting CWE so I ended up doing another Wraithlord. I will mention that the squig buggy has a just astounding level of detail going on, between a large and dynamic crew and the tons of squigs its kind of a dauting model to paint! I also did a couple of buggies, with them I have one of each of the modern buggies! Its kinda astounding how good these models are, my biggest complaint is that they have so much character to them I am not sure how I feel about doing duplicates. The Orkiphant was merely the second Lord of War I worked on in the last few week though, I also recently finished a Gorkanaut! This was a very fun model to paint, usually I am not that fond of doing big stuff as it tends to drag on a bit, but something about the level of detail worked out well for me. I expect any future bashes will go a bit faster with my new experience, but I think I need to build up my bits collection a little before my next major project! This thing is based on a 1/35 Elephant model by Tamiya, although I did quite a bit of work to make it more distinctly orky! It genuinely took longer to build then paint, partially because I was learning how to get stuff looking right on the fly.
