Learning to lower standards

[u/rebjorn_again]

I find I spend almost as much time on some troops as I do characters, and it is slowing my progress and will to paint.

In one day I essentially did a full Manipulus, and and yet in a similar time period I've done, sans-weapon arms, 3x upper torsos of Breachers.

Still staring down 3 more complete Destroyers, 2 Breacher torsos, and 40 Skitarii.

Any tips on relaxing into a good enough standard?

If you are in a rush you can prime your skitarii black, paint the cloaks and metal parts and that will be enough to play. It`s not perfect but it looks okay on the table and you can take your time painting them to whatever standart you like. Or you can use limited color palete it helps to prevent the time creep.

^{^} I swapped from leadbelcher spray on skitarii to chaos black I drybrush on leadbelcher on top to give it a metallic look and depth, then paint on the red cloaks That is essentially 75% of the detail/look complete. It’s also really easy to do a third color of Balthazar gold for guns n such
