Yesterday I started to paint the bases I previously had primed ( and omited to update here ). I'm now planning to paint the cavalry base today and tomorow. This would let me another day to glue the miniatures and get ready before the tournament.
Due to national railway strike in France it was hard to get hobby time. Still I had enough time yesterday to glue the 2 cavalry troop multibase parts. The second one having slightly warped during the printing process, I had to use some greenstuff to get a flat bottom suitable to later glue a magnet sheet under it.
Today I base coated the multi base. It seems that 3 layer of diluted PVA glue is the requirement to get a smooth top surface. I also continued to paint my hackpaw regiment. Even If not totally finished, I'm now confident they will get playable for the next tournament. As theirs giant rat mounts don't feel like "enough evil", I'm considering to print them some sharp armor piece. However, I have to be careful as the unit only have a 3+ defense which mean very light armor. I plan to try to print helmets such as the one held by the league of legend champion, marauder Alistar.
Today, as yesterday's proof of concept was successful, I designed a new ram shield model which look more realistic. I'll print 10 of each tomorrow, what's expected to took approximately an hour and almost 5gr of PLA, which, regarding the cost of the filament, is equivalent to 0.15 €.
