Come see Nick’s progress with the big one month Army Painting Challenge that he and his Dark Eldar have set out on!
Nick speaking from IDICBeer,
Welcome to my challenge of painting my entire Dark Eldar army in one month! There is over two thousand points to paint and I don’t own an airbrush, so the challenge is really on! After one weeks worth of painting of an average of five hours a day, my week one objective is all done. Dry brush the models and paint some spot armour plates with Orange.
I based the plates with Jokaero Orange first before doing a couple of coats of Troll Slayer Orange to keep it all smooth. Finally, I gave everything a wash of Fuegan Orange, which took me seven hours by itself! Here’s a few pictures of the work so far…
As you can see, I broke the army down into four separate chunks, and that really helped me out. I was able to get one board out at a time, and just focus on that board as a target. The bite size painting stopped me looking at the whole army and being overwhelmed! Of course, this is just the start! In week two I aim to get all the skin and hair painted, which I feel like will be the most time consuming parts of the project. Please feel free to pop over to my YouTube Channel where I am posting daily updates of my progress…
