Terrain - Battlescape and Moonscape

I've made some progress on painting terrain as a nice break from the Flesh Tearers, the Hobby Progress Challenge didn't gave me much chance to paint something else.

I've used the same colour scheme as my bases mostly, here's the link. I did try cheaper acrylics from Mickael's to colour match the Scorched Brown with mixed success. Games Workshop Citadel paint are pretty expensive but I can't say that they're not higher quality than the acrylics I can locally buy (Vallejo and Privater Press aren't distributed around here). The coverage of the Citadel Base paint is way better and dried 10x times faster, I even had to use my heat gun on low setting in order to emulate the same drying times.

Kanban to the rescue

I've ran with the Independant Characters podcast suggestion and started to use Kanban Flow to organise my hobby task in order to stop being distracted and get things finished.

Here's mine, I've struggled to get meaningful categories that fit with the workflow that I use. I would break down detailing but that would make the board less usable as the columns would get pretty narrow. I highly recommend you follow their advice and visit KanbanFlow (it's free!)

Hobby Progress - Finishing the Flesh Tearers

In an effort of finishing my Flesh Tearers, I've been going over the units I didn't gave much love. Surprisingly this included the very first unit I've ever had, my Sternguards, which is also my first conversion. They all have warriors of chaos cloak and green stuff on the shoulders to match the fur.

Next steps ? Freehand on the banners, Decals, figuring out what to use to seal them and flocking. Stay tuned.
