OK, so after not painting as planned over the holiday weekend, I got myself going again on my SAGA Irish warband today. I had previously finished the Warlord stand, 7 Warhounds and their Handler, and two units of 8 models each as Warriors. I had gotten the Warrior bases as far as dirt and painting, but no real work on the Warlord or Warhound bases.
Today, I got the dirt onto the Warlord and Warhound bases, greenery onto the 16 warrior bases, and I got colors blocked and shading wash onto 4 Hearthguard (which are substantially more complicated paint jobs than the Warriors.)
Tomorrow, I hope to finish the bases of the Warlord and Warhounds, and finish up the Hearthguard. This will give me 4 points as a Starter warband, I will be ready for a game!

Painting miniatures is a lot harder than I remember. It seems to take twice as long as it used to, and I am physically tired from doing it. While I accept I am working in less than ideal circumstances (limited colors, substandard brushes, poor lighting, etc.) I am surprised at the exhaustion factor. I literally layed down and took a nap during my painting session this afternoon.
The good news is that I have a playable 4-point Irish Warband gor SAGA (and I have a good start on another two points.) As soon as the glue holding the parsley onto the bases dries, I will be putting up some pictures.

I hope "less than ideal" doesn't mean poorly ventilated. That might explain the fatigue.

Eye fatigue could also be the culprit in disguise.
Go to the window and look at the surrounding buildings for a few minutes each hour. Give the eye time to readjust to the more distant objects.
