Only Captain Blood... a thread with no painted figures and there's already seven pages of comments frothing with anticipation :)

EDIT: Apparently this post upgraded it to eight pages  lol

Oh I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist...





This only required some minor surgery  :D

Here's another SAS type that I've armed as a sniper using a Blot Action plastic rifle. It is probably a whisker too long for the figure, but I don't think it will notice on the tabletop  :)





Painting of several figures is now well advanced. Just need to finish off the bases.
I have to confess, I have found them quite fiddly to paint, but they do look good at the end of it...

Nice ones, Richard! Looking forward to seeing the painted examples.

Seems to me the Warlord kit is a nice addition alone for extra weapons and bits and pieces.

Excellent!!!!   :o

So, what was it that you found "fiddly" about painting these?

When you can, just give us a quick run-down on the colors used - they look great!!

Nice painting.   :)

Which paints?  Curious to know if you were able to use craft acrylics?
