Right! So, I've had some very kind messages and a comment asking where I went. Truth is, all the stuff with my family really knocked me silly. I had to step away properly for a bit. I took the time to learn some new stuff as well - I've been working on my terrain building. One of the things I learned was that water clear resin sticks like a limpet: I got that shit on my hands and literally had to keep washing my hands for the rest of the day!
Oh! Quick shout out to Square Hammer for motivating me to get back into things again!
Now, my original Age of Rebuilding writing schedule got completely blown out of the water, and this wasn't helped by the fact I decided I had to do something different than what I'd been working on when my father died. But I've not quit. I'm working on a new piece, which I admit has got a bit out of hands, but I'm getting there.
So, let's talk about High Elves! Like a lot of 4th edition kids, I started with High Elves and Orcs. The former have always been special to me.
These are the multipart spearmen, and I recently painted this unit. For a long time, I thought these models were outdated, until suddenly one day I realised that it didn't matter. Yes, the hands are a bit big, but I like them anyway. They come from a time when Warhammer Fantasy was at its apex (well, arguably its first apex, since it nows exists as a purely community porject, which is fairly awesome).
What I will say is that the newer paint ranges make painting High Elves a lot easier. Corax White is more or less my saviour at this point.
I was also pretty pleased with the bass. They're a base-ready mix from a company called Geek Gaming Scencics.
It's nice to be back.
