Propapalloza, week 1 (2024 week 30)

This week we start a not-terribly-exiting theme that will likely save my desire for cranking out at least 365 painted figs by the end of the year. I didn't intend to crank through all of my many prop boxes, mostly from Dungeons & Lasers kickstarters over the years but I did. Unfortunately, their accounting isn't worked into my "to do" count but they were part of my Pile of Potential(TM) and they're now mostly painted. Also of note, I'm still mucking with my photography setup so we have dumpy shots of dumpy paint jobs. Enjoy!

These are a chunk of the stone props in the collection. If you've never painted stone-like items, they're pretty easy. As per usual I primed with the airbrush and then did a quick drybrush with golden heavy body titanium white. 

After that they all got a heavy dark wash and another drybrush of a neutral dark grey. I could have stopped there but I didn't. I followed that up with a lighter neutral grey drybrush and a final very light titanium white drybrush.  

The thrones got a (very) brief pop color in case I ever need to tell them apart but otherwise were done more or less the same.

Also of note: I did experiment with one of these varying washes with a coat of Speed Paint 2.0 Gravelord Grey which was way easier to control and way less splotchy. Probably not worth it to do on big terrain pieces, but that's a good thing to know.

From this point until I get 100% caught up with my posts, my mini counter is going to be extra sus but I guarantee it'll all line up in the end.

2024 finished mini counter: 167/208

edit> through the magic of the internet, I've backdated this post because I was dumb and forgot to post it on the correct day.
