So after a near 15 year break from miniature games, I have spent the last few hours glueing together the models from the Retribution of Scyrah battlegroup (or should I say most of the evening unglueing my fingers!)
It's clear that my modelling skills and patience have diminished over time. I expect it will be the same for my painting skills.
So tomorrow it will be undercoating and hopefully base coating for use in the journeyman in the evening.
I will post pictures as my army develops and I'm interested to see how my painting will improve over time.

Cool to here! Can't wait to see pics. I had a near 15 year hiatus too but now a good 16 months back in the skills are returning!

So after a long break I realise my painting isnt as good as it used to be and that I'm really slow but hopefully the production line is in full flow now and I'll be starting to get a number finished in quick sucsession. Decided to add some range to my Scyrah forces so went for a Ghost Sniper

Looks cool - I'd say practice brings things back quickly. What paint system/sets are you using now?

I'm using a mixure of GW and Vallejo paints. The GW ones are the old ones I used to use and loads were still usable with a little thining! Planning to replace with Vallejo over time.
Luckily I have lots of models to practice on. Paint table looking full.

I found a simple method to start with: base colour, wash, highlight. Gives simple affective looks and then I built up from there with techniques.

The pic doesn't show up some of the shading. Trying to do simple clean base coat wash and picked out a few highlights but will look to add a few more later.

Just a little selection then and where is the Cygnar force they should be the first true force you get for warmachine and if you want to get into hordes go Everblight all the way. lol
