Cool follow up veskit thanks!

On a corporate call today talking about executive cost reporting at a Fortune 500 company an the presenter used "wysiwyg" pronounced 'wizzeewig' for reports going to the executive board. Totally random I know, but first time I have ever heard used functionally correct outside of a wargame table. And now I am off I level my corporate slave character, almost to corporate schmuck! Cheers

Covers you not the car. Just say you are a passenger. This is the advantage of a couple having AAA, but just one membership.

Updated original post with progress. 25 clan rats done! (Well need a wash the banner). I decided to create a reward system to keep me motivated. It has both paint and buy rewards to get me through the first 75 models. In my work sphere I have been hearing a lot about small steps instead of big steps and applying this to the hobby side has been really good over the last month, going to expand it. Paint goal: 25 clan rats, full command, 2x weapon teams, Paint reward: warplock eng, hero Buy reward: light box 2nd paint goal: 25 clan rats, full command, 2x weapon teams, Paint reward: 4x rat ogres Buy rewards: either storm vermin or abomination. 3rd paint goal: 25 clan rats, full command, 2x weapon teams Paint rewards 4x rat ogres, 1 converted rat lord on rat ogre Buy reward: ther storm vermin or abomination 4th paint goal: 25 clan rats or 20 storm vermin Paint reward: HPA or doom wheel Buy reward: 20 storm vermin for conversion projects

Not quite done with 25 man unit. I do base coat, wash, base colt, highlight, then details. (Rust, eyes, teeth). Then I do the base later. On pace to have the details done by Friday.

Ok, 20 days back into painting and have the base coat and wash done on the last 7 of the unit of 25 clan rats with spears. I went out and bought some of the color lighter than storm vermin fur, dawnstone i think, and it helped the look of the rags. Not looking forward to painting the bases on these clowns but won't e to horrible. I am hoping when i fly home I can find my paint journal from 3 years ago to remember the bases that i did on my other skaven. I am pretty sure codex grey was involved...here is a photo of the rats with with dawnstone (sorry still my iPhone)...getting excited to paint a couple of weapons teams soon, hero and warlock!

Very cool! I like details, can't wait to see with paint on the defense line.

Been painting away! This blog is how I stay motivated. EDIT: Added pic of 17 rats, all done but the base, bags, and flock. Sorry about cell phone quality picture. This weeks positives: 1) I like how the rats turn out. 2) I am using the technical paint typhus and rust. 3) Still excited to paint. 4) got the camera to work, will see if I can get a shot tonight of where I am at. The negatives: 1) I need three shades of each color, I can't compromise...oh blah da 2) I figured out no ones is taking spears... Reading a strategy board...fudge on track to finish first block of spears less the bases next weekend. 3) I must have really aged, or my set up sucks. My back kills me after a 2 hour paint session. Too much time curled up.

Pleasure to look at! Like both of the albums.

So working on streamlining the process with the next ten. I have the base colors laid out to get one coat on them and the wash done. I did 10 rats fur and skin parts in 60-90 minutes... Not sure how long it is going to take so going to log the rest of the time and then do som projections. Current projection is 1/3 of base colors at 6-9 minutes a rat, times by 3 and I am at 18-27 minutes a rat, will assume wash and highlights at another 15 per rat, then pick teeth and eyes, corrosion and rust, then touch of silver and I am at roughy an hour per rat before I do the base, bags they have or banners etc. 100 clan rat goal...I am going to go cry now, but hey I hear tears of despair are great to mix with paint for getting smoothe application.

Well, I figured out all my colors, messed up on the order of painting parts, but have 7 rats mostly done. I am not going to do the bases, miscellaneous bags, or banners at this time. I can do those later... I am not sure how I like the new technical corrosion and rust combo yet, I still have to hit it with bolt cut to look right and the rust dry brushing of small areas is a pain. I figured out my paint rewards, for every 25 rats I get to do 1 weapons team and a hero. After 50 I get to do 3 or 4 rat ogres. At 100 I get to buy an abomination or maybe 40 storm-vermin... we will see.

All good info. I have about 300 models in a box so the next 25 are HW/Sh then! Just painted first 5 with my scheme minus the bases! Pictures in the weekly update coming tomorrow.

The soul crushing has begun...Based, magnetized and primed 25 clan rats with spears. Just realized I need to do the shields too! Also played with some new paints, really was excited to try the technical typhus whatever plus rust...forgot to buy the typhus last night. Worked on my wood color, think i found what i want, should be relatively quick, but still takes 2 coats, 2 washes and a dry brush, but will go quick in batches of spears and should look decent in larger amounts, such as doom wheel and maybe a plague censor or warp lightning cannon. No impressed with verdigris technical, but going to do it as it is quick, just doesn't pop like i hoped.

This serves to be my painting blog...goal is one picture update whenever I can, with a little bit of text about what is puzzling me while painting. *Time to bump this thread, mad some project progress. Figure I better get on this project as I have halflings coming in early 2020. Edit: Current plan updates, strike through painted! Paint goal: 25 clan rats, full command, 2x weapon teams, Paint reward: warplock eng, hero Buy reward: light box 2nd paint goal: 25 clan rats, full command, 2x weapon teams, Paint reward: 3x rat ogre Buy rewards: Storm vermin 3rd paint goal: 25 clan rats, full command, 2x weapon teams Paint rewards 3x rat ogres, 1 converted rat lord on rat ogre Buy reward: Storm vermin or abomination 4th paint goal: 25 clan rats or 20 storm vermin Paint reward: HPA or Buy reward: 20 storm vermin for conversion projects *Deleted text Wall* *Added Picture of Army Current Status 11_11*

Looking for 2x skaven doom flayer, need you to ship, I wil pay of course.

Brick, did you ever check out that blog? "Quest for fun" will find it in a search. It is a gold mine for how to look at inventory and keep metrics to help with decisions and run a game store. Also talks about what industry trends are.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. I live right near the BAO, so I had glimmers of hope of watching some gaming this weekend...

Who is going to BAO?

Wow! This will be my kind of game! Thanks for heads up!

My steamID is Headless Chicken. Good zombie blasting times last night.

Very nice work. Will enjoy seeing more.

I love it all!
