hmm, very US specific. Given that they don't have a roadkill badger, chupacabra or kangaroo, I shall boycott them immediately!

And now, things that annoy me. I found a lot of them this week. Forgetting my paints for painting night at my local store is one of them and that goes hand and hand with the half-hour trek back to the apartment to grab them in commuter traffic (Turds!). Taking pictures that are out of focus and not realizing until you see it up on a monitor is another (Double Turds! Spaulding!).

Image

Taking forever to finish five models is annoying too. Apparently not enough to put down the books I've been reading during the week and remedy the problem though :P. The CCC Demo does not annoy me, he looks pretty cool.

Image

Not being able to match the basing I did on the trial base is another thing that constantly annoys me. This is a time-honored tradition at this point. I can never seem to match the basing I do from one batch to another.

Image

Days off do not annoy me and thankfully next Monday is one of those. Patriots Day? Fine by me MA... I'm planing on doing the weaponry then, so these guys should be all set after that.

the 2nd batch of bases seems to have a thicker paint look to it and the texture is much more coarse, the first one look much better imo :), i say give it another try, after all that time painting youll kick yoursel fif you mount them on bases your not happy with.

Ya, that's what I'm thinking. We'll see if simple green breaks down crackle paste.

Super good monkey karate death car painting!

Those are some thick-ass fingers on that one dude, though. Hope he's not my proctologist.

The MERCS were annoying me after the false start with the basing and weapons so they were in time out for this week. I ended up basing the Land Ironclads instead.

Image

Image

I also worked on the Lictors a bit too. I'll get a chance to paint tonight as well so these guys will probably get based and washed.

Image

Next week I should be able to do the black highlights and try to figure out how I'm going to paint the claws. I think a bone color is going to be added to the palette.

I finished the Lictors last Wednesday, but forgot to grab pictures on Friday. Anyway here they are.

Image

They painted up pretty quick. Not sure if I'll ever use 12 in a game though.

Image

I tried out a bone color for the claws/talons. Not sure if I'm completely sold on it yet, I'll have to see how it works for some of the other bigger bugs. Worse comes to worse I'll come back and try something else.
