It's been a while, eh? A couple of weeks... Well, life sometimes gets in the way. And part of that life is sometimes not feeling the desire to paint. But the important thing is to get back to it when the urge hits. I've spent so much time on the tower that I thought it was time to work on the rest of the structure. I want a desert look to the Fortress so that's what I went for. I drybrushed the decking with Boltgun, of course. I started the sides drybrushing on Codex Gray. I didn't like the look of any of the other GW browns (though, maybe I should have taken a look at Citadel Tausept Ochre) so I went out and got a bottle of Reaper Master Series Tanned Leather. Now that I've drybrushed that one, I'm not in love with the look. I think I'll highlight with something a little yellowish or maybe even Bleached Bone. That should do the trick.
For next time, I don't think I'm going to work on the Fortress. I think I'll work on some of the many minis waiting for some tender loving care. In the near future, I think I'm going to have another theme day. A long time back I had a Drednought day. I think soon I will have a Rhino Frame day. I've got at least two Rhinos and two Predators I have never assembled. I think it's time to get thos bad boys together. So what if I already have enough painted? When it comes to 40K, is there really such thing as enough?
Lastly, I'm looking forward to getting a couple Honored Imperium sets. Everybody bitches about the knees on the statue but you know what? They're supposed to be statues! Abstract and artistic representations of something! Not all statues are perfect and not all artists are good. So even with the wierd knees, looks good to me!
