Now then...

I've got a bit of ground to make up - reckon I'm on track for 2000 points by the end of April though.

These should help:

Looking suitably gribbly! Well done.

They're coming! Got them undercoated and washed this evening. I think the stealers are probably just getting drybrushed and a bit of detailing after that. The fexes and dominatrix (!) will take a bit more work...

Ok, some proof that I can pick up a paint brush! Still have to add the final touches, maybe a very light purple wash to pull out the faces of the stealers and I'm hoping the basing is going to make these pop

I'm fairly pleased with the overall effect - it's been nearly 20 years since I painted at this scale!!!

Better pics will follow when I have more done...

Nice scary pale hue. What kind of basing are you thinking of doing for them ?

So I've been playing around with bases tonight. It was between sand and vallejo sandy paste, but then I found a bag of fine talus so I gave that whirl. Basically the talus looked to big to me, the sand looked good but the sandy paste was superb!

Really nice and understated I think.

I'll probably add a bit of sand for the grassy areas but they're now all based up and ready to go. Hopefully the white stealers will really stand out against the dark bases.
