Ever get the desire to just throw some paint down, to not care about careful blending or composition? I've had eight Khorne Bezerkers hanging out on my painting table for ages, and I just felt the need to paint without restriction. These miniatures are textbook un-eveness. I painted what I wanted to paint. I doused the whole miniature in a homemade wash that left gunk in all the cracks and I just don't care. I am having so much fun painting these guys, that at some point I may feel the need to paint more to show the world what I can do technically. Right now I am just painting for speed, fun, and experimentation with random techniques. Isn't this what painting is supposed to be about in the first place?

For just slapping some paint on that guy he looks darn good! I just went through a marathon "fun with painting" on the new plastic Daemon Prince, and he turned out pretty darn good too. Looks like we need to get back to "fun" painting once in awhile just to refresh ourselves!
