I am developing a love hate relationship with my army as I paint more and more of it.
On the one hand I love how it looks, I love the lore, I love the concept of rotten, shambling marines advancing slowly and contaminating everything with their presence.
But on the other hand the models are so overdetailed it's actually starting to impact my enjoyment of painting them. Every single nook and cranny has something. You thought this was an armor plate? Actually, there are leeches poking from underneath. There? Some tentacles growing. What about there? Horns, and the horns also have slugs on them by the way. What about the cloak? Oh, it actually has some hanging cables. Well, I guess the gun is just corroded metal, right? You thought, here are some fungal growths and for good measure put some parts of skin/flesh in the gun barrel. Oh and there? There's clearly pus seeping. And while we're at that why not put some pustules on the flesh? And why not take this one plate that seems flat and put a nurgling peeking from it? And why not add some skulls hanging here? And why not add some more slugs to the skulls?

It's not even that I have to paint all of it, or that it takes a long time, I don't mind that, it's that the model feels SO cramped. I feel like I never have space to make smooth brush motions because every single time I try to say, glaze something in an area I have some growths to the left and a gigantic kneepad that has a massive horn which for good measure has some slugs and poison seeping.

I'm closing in on 2000 points painted so I'm going to keep powering through it but man. I painted some orks as a palate cleanser some months ago and it was so enjoyable to just be able to glaze and work on the skin without continuously bumping into details. Sorry for the wall of text, I have no one to talk to.
