All done. Simple basing of GSW Crackle, some tufts and rocks. I'm very happy 😁

Basing still to go, but it's all together now. Very pleased with the banner gold NMM, and the gun. Not pleased with the cloak or the face. The rest all has paint on, in pretty close to the right places, so that's good 🤣

It's my curse, and stops me staying motivated. I'm trying to be less hard on myself though, but it's deep in there 🤣

Hate the result, but I'm done after assembly and basing. I learned a lot, so will do better next time. Onwards and upwards! Did someone say Orktober? 🤣

Finally I reach my Final Boss. Three times this body has been stripped and restarted because I can't successfully paint a damned cream cloak!

All subassemblies are done. Just 2 bodies to go (they've been stripped and reprimed).

I'm happy with the 'mine vs boxart' result. As an NMM newbie, that is...

I've not played since 2nd edition - AND I like assembling more than the painting, if I'm being honest with myself 🤣

Last bit of NMM the legs. Happy with it, and getting more confident to go further as I go! Still have the base to do, and am toying with the idea of doing a banner pole...

Dry fit of a couple of arms while I'm finishing the legs and the base...

Fiddly bit of gold NMM needed for the front. Exciting!

I pick a different colour for each faction...

Ahhh, I've just realised why nobody talks to me at parties... 🤣

I know I'm just putting off doing the body, but I'm enjoying these bits - flamer NMM done, but needs something else...

A couple more bits of progress from last night. Bit more NMM, purity seals, and even the squad markings for the left shoulder

First two attempts at gold NMM - start small, I say 🤣 Not sure I can keep it up for a Dreadnaught's worth of trinkets - but it's all getting logged in my ancient brainbox for later use
