It is Easter so there is lots of family time, lots of chocolate and hot cross buns. On the Warmachine front things have been quiet. I still haven't fully recovered from being sick so gaming has been out since there is a backlog of stuff to do around the house. However, I did finish painting my Greylord Escort (Doom Reaver UA for those not in the know). I'm reasonably happy with how he looks but his face isn't the best. I kind of suck at painting eyes but I determined to get better which means I just have to paint more eyes!
I also undercoated and painted the arcs on my Iron Fang Pikemen. I am a bit nervous as to how long it will take me to paint all 12. That said, at the same time I really want to get a fully painted army down. Once I finish them I will just have a handful left to complete (for my Vlad2 army). I also tend to surprise myself how quickly I can paint things up and spend a lot of time not painting because I think I won't accomplish anything.
I am hoping to get a game in during the next fortnight or so. I read other blogs and kind of wish I could play once a week or something similar. Mind you much of the stuff I do when other people are gaming (e.g. Chill with my wife) is a lot more awesome. Work is less so though.

Painting Status
So I did a quick stocktake of what I have painted for my 50 point pSorscha list ...

Beast 09. Awesome.

I have a few jacks painted actually. Behemoth, Juggernaut, Torch, Black Ivan, Demolisher, Spriggan and Beast 09. Got a few casters done too; pIrusk, Strakhov and Zerkova. Then a smattering of solos and the bears. I think I find it hard to paint units. You feel like you are getting less bang for your buck. This is kind if why I have set Wintercon as a date to get at least one; hopefully two, fully painted lists.
I've had my Doom Reavers undercoated for a while so this last week I have just painted whenever I got a spare 30 minutes. Maybe two hours total. And you know what? They are actually progressing pretty quickly. I've got their metallic, their trousers, kilt thing, flesh, hair all base coated. Just got to do those straps and I can start some highlighting and washing and all that. I did decide to do the UA separate. It's is largely because he'll use different colours in parts to fit closer to my already painted Koldun Lord. I have to go down to the LGS to get some more paints. I am out of browns and greys since I moved house recently and just chucked stuff out that was even slightly dried up. I'll need those for Winter Guard!
