Second basing step is completed: Putting sand on all the bases (except the as yet unbased Ketzali for lack of washers). 5 backbreaking hours of sanding. I hate this step. I swear, it is by a wide margin the biggest time suck for 6mm Epic models. It implies putting on thinned Weldbond glue, pouring on sand, using a stiff bristle brush to "wash" each model with some water (this rinses glued on stray sand of the models) and then give it a quick flick with a dry stiff bristle brush to get any remaining loose sand off.
I am sure that is an easier way to do this, but after 1000+ epic bases I haven't found it yet
. For bigger models I use pre-blackened pumice but for the small stuff this is pretty hopeless (at least at my level of hand-eye coordination other rather what is left of it after a few hours of basing).
As a small reward for this accomplishment I converted up a Tzeentch and Slaneesh altar, as well as a Khorne objective. I will put up some pics tomorrow.
The goal for tomorrow is to paint the bases and then the actual painting can begin (well, until Monday when those washers hopefully arrive and I can base another 50+ Ketzali bases and a few dozen left-over bases
).
er wow, i just superglue them together and add very small bits of GS to gap joins afterwards if needed. The fiddle for me was getting all 8 toes touching the ground at once
