Being a slow painter who limits himself to building the next unit only after he paints the current one is suffering. I have models I want to build but I know if I do I'll never get my army painted.

It's a good thing to do though, else you'll end up like me, currently having 7 projects in various states of WIP on your painting table.

listen to this man

I envy your commitment to job completion.

I envy your restrained approach to job undertaking.

I relate to this. What's helped me is to sort my (considerable) backlog out into distinct projects, box them up, label them, seal the boxes, and store them in a family member's basement. When I get "the itch" I only have one thing to focus on without considerable inconvenience in the moment

posted this last thread but i'm still looking for some colour advice.
I'm not sure about the tabard and robes, cream/white would blend in too much to the purity seals, red wouldn't work because of the kneepad.
Thinking maybe a really dark muted bluey grey colour, anyone else have any suggestions?

This guy is already pretty visually confusing, maybe something tan/light brown to gel with the face tones a little?

Hey gang.
I'm going to pick up a couple of Kastelans, and probably paint them up a bit like this, though brighter and dirtier.
Would something like a Ushabti Bone base with Skull White sponge-stippled over the top work?

Also, anyone know how tall they are in mm?

I like the sound of a dark blue-grey.
If you did want to limit your palette more, a similar brown to the ammo pouches might work.
Otherwise, make the tabard more cream/brown and the purity seals more yellow/white and outline with black ink (Nuln Oil) if you don't want to lose them against the background.
