And so it begins

GenCon is over... let the painting continue.

With the tips and tricks picked up, I have started looking at my painting goals again.

The general goals

Improve the looks on bases. The cork rock and flock is going to be improved.

• Menoth army will be on desert bases. This will be tricky to make them more interesting
• Trollbloods. Will stick with the cork/rock and flock bases but will try to work out the smoothing of the rock. Perhaps using putty to make the rocks more.
• FoW Soviets. I picked up some Spackle to follow some guides I have read on the web and in the book. Worked up my first base and will see how it looks after the painting. I'm going to go for a mix of base types on them from minor ruins to muddy fields.
  
• Skorne. Blood wastes seems like cracked dryied land. Going to go sculpted bases on these guys. This will probably be the most involved basing project.
  

Complete Army

• Trollbloods. Thanks to the 750x4 armies Tourney I have my trolls about 95% done. I'm going to keep the push forward on them and get them finished up before the new releases.
• FoW Soviets. For some reason, I want to have these guys painted before playing with them. One thing about FoW Armies is they really look good with good bases. The paint jobs are important but it seems the bases are more important. Overall these guys will probably be easy to paint. The first test piece, a light mortar, will be done shortly.
• Khador. I have so much still in boxes that my goal is to get them finished up. True, I think I'll start to back burner them as I move the Menoth up but as far as painting they will stay before the Menoth.
• Menoth. White? off-white? Note sure.. Haven't settled on a look for them.
  
• Skorne. Low on the painting list right now. So much is going on with Trolls..
