The overarching theme for quarter 2 would be "oh god, too many bugs". Having learned no lessons whatsoever from quarter 1 I set myself the task of a Broodlord, 16 Genestealers, 12 Hormagaunts, 12 Termagants and a Mawloc.
Lockdown Progress
With the country firmly locked down in April and no distractions like "socialising" or "leaving the house" to get in my way I made a ton of progress. The weather was lovely and I was able to spend the weekends in the garden building away - I got the Genestealers and Mawloc built like this, along with a whole load of Necromunda Zone Mortalis terrain put together.
I switched to batch painting the little guys in groups of four and found this infinitely more manageable than what I'd done the previous quarter. Getting the Broodlord and Genestealers done early felt great and meant I could spent more time on the Mawloc. There was a mild rush at the end of the quarter again to finish up the rest of the 'gaunts, but nowhere near as bad as the month before.
Turns out all I need to make steady progress is a global pandemic and nationwide lockdown...
Results
I'm still improving with the airbrush, I'm still super happy with how the pink comes out. The green basecoat is proving the most tedious, it takes 3 or 4 coats to get the Vallejo Dark Green opaque.
I also made a start on the basing at this point, adding a mixture of fine/small basing grit, painting it brown and giving it a light drybrush. Next quarter I'll be adding more jungle to it.
The plan for next quarter is a grand total of three models, a Malanthrope and a pair of Tyrannofex. Easy.
