So far this year has been a real struggle for me to get motivated to carry on painting up my large collection of dwarfs. I've tried on several occasions to at least complete the unit I've been painting and even though only a couple short I just can't seem to just get on. So one day a couple of weeks ago I decided I needed to just paint something in the hope this would then drive me on to get on with the dwarfs. Looking through my pile of lead I just couldn't find anything that inspired me, at one point I was thinking one of my elven attack chariots but after some cleaning up I knew it was too intricate for my needs. However a chariot did appeal to me and I have several to choose from but it then hit me what could be simpler that a skeleton chariot! So after a few days searching I had myself a complete Skeleton war machines box. Whilst the catapult and all the skeletons needed a nice long soak I have been able to get a start on the chariot. So far its just the horses but its definitely a start in the right direction
The thing I love about painting skeletons is for me its just a case of paint an off white colour and then lots of washes of browns and maybe a few highlights in between. I like my skeletons to have the just out the earth grimy look to them. Sadly taking photos is still my downfall but will try to get some better ones as I move on with this little project.
