Speed Daemons
So as it turns out I’m rubbish. I’ve been putting off my Daemon army for the ETC for too long and now I find myself with one week to go before the Four Nations warmup with a mostly unassembled let alone unpainted army.
My 2000 point Daemon army looks like this at present.
Deeply shameful
The only bright spot is that the General is already painted (the Lord of Change that you can see a few posts down).
So, having made my life significantly more difficult, I’m now faced witha challenge – to paint about 1400 points of Daemons in a week.
Here is the army:
General – Lord of Change (painted!)
Battle Standard Bearer – Herald of Slaanesh (will be converted from the Masque of Slaanesh figure)
Herald of Tzeentch (will be converted from a War Machine Skarlock Thrall miniature)
17 Pink Horrors with full command (which need to be converted)
14 Daemonettes with full command
15 Daemonettes with full command
6 Flamers
6 Screamers
That leaves me 1365 points to paint in 7 days which comes to 195 points a day. Alternatively that’s 60 figures required which need to be painted at the rate of 9 a day.
So here’s my target, to paint 10 figures and a minimum of 200 points a day. I have till next Thursday evening to get it done as I fly to Warrington straight after work on Friday. I work a full time day job and I can’t take holiday to cover this so I’m going to need to speed paint, however my pride won’t let me put down really bad paintjobs so there are two other stipulations:
- The figures must be painted to at least a basic tabletop standard.
- I must be able to revisit them afterwards and bring them up to my tabletop standard.
I’ll be doing updates every day with pictures so you can see the progress I’m making (or not). Tune in tomorrow to find out how the project is coming along.
