Tale of Saga Painters: 2nd Goals

July 1st Goals!

Rob Pierce

I have a tournament coming up in late June (my first in saga) so I'm going to get as much painted as I can and have set myself quite a steep target. unpainted models are allowed but I'd prefer not to use them. This month I'm going to try for a warrior priest, bard, and 12 archers. I doubt I'll make it but worth a go.

Since I'm moving at the end of June my July goal will again be humble: 4 points of warriors painted and another point each of hearthguard and warriors converted assembled. After that I expect to kick things into gear.

The goal for July 1 are the warriors in the pic. Most are base painted and those that aren't will give the practice I need moving forward. If these go well, I'll move on the second unit of warriors. Admittedly, I tend to be something of a splurge painter where I will get loads of work done then take breaks. I hope to solve that by doing this challenge. One way will be to attempt to do something everyday, even if it is minor.
I hope everyone is doing well and good luck! A couple of the updates so far have been impressive!

Painting up 12 models from this pile of minis is my 1st of July pledge. The minis assorted are:
6 Mutatawwi'ah Warriors
8 Islamic light horsemen (javelin mounted Warriors)
1 Female Warrior poet (War priest)

2 Byzantine hearthguard
3 Byzantine carts for escort scenario

Anglo Saxon Warlord
8 Anglosaxon Warriors

Being a person who likes to paint individual miniatures, I don't like to batch paint units or stick to a certain paint schemes. I have to be mindful of my Islamic and byzantine colour palettes somewhat, the completed armies shouldn't look an Jackson Pollock painting. The big challenge for this pledge is going to be the horsemen, there is a lot of them and painting a realistic horse coat is hard. I picked up the Painting War Dark Age magazine some time ago and will try out some simplified techniques from there.

Well, to be honest, by the time I posted this, I had already finished my July 1st goal of 4 points of Salian Franks! Had a good amount of spare time and really pressed it. Here's what they were at the beginning of the month. The final product will be in the August 1st report!
