From the depths

So 2019 well nearly,
Around April-May this year i decided to invest in KOW and Mantic more heavily and start a Mantic IP army. I've started the Trident Realm as i enjoyed the aesthetic and wanted 2 things, a wildly different play style from elves and a huge challenge; as depending on who you speak to this faction is universally either considered the equal weakest faction in the game or one that may be gets to middle of the pack with horrendous match ups with advanced players.
I'm intending on documenting my journey for better or worse with this faction and also potentially show what can be done with nature occasionally.

So the start of the journey,
i had a quiet day at work and they had sent me 50 miles North for one job that took an hour, after sitting around for an hour or 2 i decided to just drive to Mantic HQ and see if i could get invited in, luckily for me I met Andy Meechan at the door and we chatted for a long time about the game and numerous things.  After a while i took a quick tour round the factory watching the metal get cast before I went shopping.  I started my collection with the basic box set, some additional water elementals, some gigas and maybe some additional naaids including wyrm riders.

Moving forward i was happy playing my elves but really wanted to push on with the trident realms as I had invested in them and knew they could sit in boxes for years if I didn't focus.   During this time period i made a decision deliberately not to play thee faction for fear of results putting me off hobby.
Anyway I also made another massive decision, to paint the army with no traditional painting techniques, I instead decide to mass paint using only washes and dry brushing on a cream/bone spray.  This i'm sure sounds horrific to a lot of people but please bear with me and i'll show the results during the journey towards 2019, the models i've added and the way i chose to lay out models on multi basing.

I'm hoping to do the first blog i've ever seen on a table top army standard paint job and how i'm going to bring a mish mash of colours together and not even bother to paint but hopefully still come out with an acceptable, original and hopefully more effective army than many people have seen before by a guy who 100% can not paint.
Further more as this year develops I will be giving my opinions on TR, Cok 19 and the different builds i feel this army can do, the strengths and the weakness' in my eyes.
Anyway don't want to ramble, but i do want some help, how do i take nice photos of models on an ipad, if anyone has the answers to this please contact me on the messenger AP i will be very grateful for your time, and hopefully this of interest to some people in the new year.
