So 18 weeks later I’ve finally finished or at least declared finished the Exemplar Cinerators I’d primed and started painting from the starter box. I’ve painted a few models for other games (which I’ll post soon), but these have been sitting around tainting me, with me working on them a bit here and there, but never really managing to finish them.

The Cinerators are definitely not my favourite models from the 2 player starter box. A lot of fiddly detail for someone who’s just getting back back to painting after literally half a lifetime. I don’t think I’ve done too badly with them for someone so out of practice.

I’ve learned a few things at least.  You can probably see the colours on the unit leader are a bit off. Need to make sure in future I’m painting the whole unit at once. Paint wise, I was using a mix of P3 (the Menoth Paint Set) and Game Color. The P3 pains seem pretty good, though I’m not really fond of the paint pots. The Game Color metallics however seem a little gluggy.

At least they’re now done, which leaves only one heavy and one light warjack remaining from the Menoth half of the starter box, both of which are almost complete. After that it’s the Choir, some Errants and a few solos and I should have a playable fully painted army. I definitely need a better system for painting the errants, the count is 13 models including the champion, standard bearer and Seneschal. 14 if you count Rupert Carvolo, who’s something of a defacto unit attachment.

Anyhow here’s to it being 1 week instead of 18 for next couple of Menoth models. Hopefully posting regularly will motivate me a bit more to get the army to completion.
