Late last year I had rather silly thought..."What if I made two simple, robust armies for use at gaming conventions when I want to introduce people to Famine, Sword, & Fire? I could use old miniatures from Battle Masters, a 1992 board game with sturdy and cheap figures..."
I picked up several sets of Battle Masters figures, and plowed through the Chaos side with relative ease...
I started struggling with the start of the Empire. Painting 20-40 of the same exact mediocre sculpt with poor colour choices, etc. By the end (yesterday evening), I was...hateful of the last 20 knights I had to paint. My speed paint standard diminished and some are so ugly they're not even getting close up pictures.
So...maybe I should not have painted some 250+ miniatures for a convention game...the lesson has been learned. I'm very anxious to start painting stuff I actually want to paint again!
Here is the Empire half to the Battle Masters project.
Made this same mistake myself a few years ago - had to get another painter to help make my date. At least your done, they look great in mass and you finished in time for your convention.
