Another family picture of all the units I have painted so far for the 40K2ndAC II. Epistolary Librarian Azathor was an awesome model to paint this month. It was nice to have a whole month to focus on one miniature and I have always wanted to paint one of the original Terminator Librarians ever since my early days of reading WD in 1990. The intricacy of the Aegis hood and force axe were interesting details to explore and painting blue armor was a nice break from all the usual dark green. The lessons I learned from wet blending with the greens and last month's bone white were able to be applied to the blue armor and gave it a look I really liked. The banner is a slight cheat since it came from the 3rd edition codex, but I think the visual meta in early third still hewed very close to the banners of 2nd edition. Sometimes the geek in me lives for sentences like that one where I can make the 30 years I have spent in the hobby sound like I had a career in very esoteric academia :-)
Three months into season 2 and I have already painted 700 plus points so I really need to start thinking about bonus models. I have already planned out how I have enough models left if this endlessly enjoyable project goes into season 3, so I'll have to plan carefully not to dip into that material. There's a fun twist on the bonus models that other participants have taken in the past that may be the route I go. So that cliffhanger will hopefully have all you bat-viewers tuning into the same bat-time and same bat-channel here in the future. Stay safe out there...
