Of the infantry I have assembled I have:
- 2 Classic Commissars (they’ll be a quite a different painting style than the rank and file guys–one is the Games Day female commissar)
- 3 Heavy Weapon Teams (I completed 10 half-complete teams last night)
- 13 Lascannons (which are separate from the teams since I magnetize weapons)
Getting those 8 painted by the end of the week would be wonderful, but having the three weapon teams is my only goal.
Assemblage:
- I have 6 Ogryns (these lugs are debatably infantry) to assemble and paint (5 old style and 1 new style bonehead)
- I’ll need to assemble 4-5 Grenadiers for my current 1850/2000 point list
- I have one more (newer) style Commissar still to assemble and paint (I might assemble him and paint him along with the other two).
Having some more special weapon options would be nice. I may assemble a few more melta guns and flamers–the jury is still out on plasma weaponry–I’m not sure I’ll like it as much as melta weaponry.
I already have a box of Bretonnian men-at-arms purchased (my last box), so I’ll probably finish those out before I move on to painting my vehicles. Since I have 3 basilisks I’ll have to keep in mind that I’ll need to leave out 6 for the crew — so that’ll put a slight limit on my other special weapon options.
Also before I run off and start painting my vehicles, I want to normalize the lieutenant and colonel’s skin so it’s not quite so orange and paint in their eyes and details. I’ll not worry about highlighting the rank and file guys yet until it starts bothering me, but I’ll highlight the leaders as as it’ll push me subtly to do that over time for the rest of them
