I haven’t painted a complete model for 10+ years and I last painted a Terminator in the 80’s. I get the feeling the Grimdark style at it’s basic level, might just match my current painting ability right now! 😀 I do love the aesthetic of Grimdark and realise there is actually a lot of skill involved making something look so horrifyingly gribbly, not to mention the conversions out there. Good luck to everyone that takes part.
Count me in!
This will be my first painting project of 2023…
Grimdark for the win!
I’d love to do this (if I weren’t already too late), but no way can I paint an entire vehicle in a month! I’ve been working on a Tactical Squad for two months, and only have 4 completed models!
