Two colours is all it takes to be content

So I've been through a roller coaster ride since I started this blog.

Firstly, my friends bought 40k "Start Collecting" boxes each with the intention of playing again, I followed suit, but the enthusiasm seems to have died as quickly as it sparked. Then I purchased a faulty primer spray from an LGS where I play Magic, which set me back a week and covered my kitchen in Chaos Black! Then after my SCE finally got primed, I painted a test model for Celestial Vindicators. By paint I mean I base coated and shaded the armour. I wasn't very happy with the model at all, a combination of a non-basic colour scheme and my lack of recent painting experience made for a bit of a messy first try. I wasn't looking for Golden Demon, but I wanted to feel happy with what I produced.

Then I found the series on Warhammer TV of a step by step painting of the entire AoS starter set. I figured, what did I have to lose? Base coat another Liberator in gold and see where we go. One afternoon of full on hobbying later and I'm here. With 5 Liberator's base coated and washed and I couldn't be happier. Yeah, every man and his dog is going to have a gold SCE army, but who cares? This one is going to be mine. I know these pictures are really not anything to write home about but it made me happy to actually make some progress I'm satisfied with. Going to throw some Auric Armour Gold (as instructed by Duncan!) tomorrow and build up some of the other models from the set. Baby steps people, baby steps.

Good on you! I think we all hit those hobby hurdles, and sometimes it can stop us in our tracks. 

Keep up the great work!

If painting 'em gold following the tutorial is something you enjoy power to you! You're painting for your own enjoyment and not that of others after all.  :)

I can see that the paintjob goes really smooth! Enjoy your painting and keep up good work! And I also support you in pursuing gold variant. Think I would do the same (considering only Hollowed Knights as an alternative, which is the second most common scheme, hehe). Good luck:)

There is definitely a lot to be said for keeping things simple.  

You always have the option to revisit and expand on the painting so more power to you.
