Doing this builder's league, for me at least, was a way to push more painting, and get more models done. Given that the league is over, but I've managed to paint quite a few things, I'd call it a mixed success.
A closer look at the Hemlock, showing the painted cockpit. This model fits together great, but those smooth, curvilinear surfaces take a LOT of coats of paint. Will have to use an airbrush for future models like this one. Still, it turned out rather nicely for the efforts.
However, there's still more to do to finish the 2000 points of models for the league (or, more appropriately, my own goal).
That whole shelf needs to be done, less some of the unprimed guys at the back.
However, for now I'm working on a bit of a palate cleanser, a mini for my D&D warlock character in the campaign we play weekly after work.
He's coming along nicely, and it's always refreshing to paint a model that is more 'freeform,' in that there's no uniform, no specific colour scheme, just a chance to play with colour choices and painting techniques.
After this guy, it's back to the grind with my team of Imperial Guard for the Kill Team game, as well as the ruined building terrain pieces (one of which is pictured behind them, sprayed grey for a basecoat).
After that, maybe back to a dragon I had started before the builders' leagues took all my painting time.
She'll be a green dragon, though I've always liked the Larry Elmore style contrasting belly scales, so I went with a nice, deep yellow. The base and wings are in front, separate so as to get all the hidden areas.
Along with all that, there's the Age of Sigmar builder's league, so I've got a bunch of Seraphon to paint up for that one...
