I'm going to be working on building for a few days. Long story, but from a combination of getting older, some old damage in one eye and not being able to get to the eye doctor, close detail work is killing me. I'm having to use a magnifier anyway, but until I get my new glasses on Friday (and then adjust to them for a couple of days), fine detail work is out. I end up focusing between a 20/20 eye and a 20/400 eye resulting in the "dagger in the eye" headache that some of you may know.
I just finished off those two power fists okay, but the twitch started so that is it for today. Unfortunately it means I don't get to update the front page on painting for a bit, although I might cheat and do a few backpacks at a time. I only need a bit of gunmetal on them and the painting level will be all the same on the assembled models (especially the Marines).
No big deal, I still have drop pods and a dreadnought to assemble and if I have more time I can start on fiddling with one of my "expansion" models I've bought. I do know that I'll be playing the 1k list several times before I think about upgrading in points. Faster games, less variables (3 Crusader squads, 2 DN in 5 pods) and simpler tactical situations which should give me some quick lessons. Yeah, I'm not so hot at that level, but then most armies aren't either.
