Unexpected Delay, Further Progress

Well, I encountered a rather surprising difficulty today. I had intended to take an hour and finish the Scraphounds and Junkyard Dogs, but it turns out I'm out of the 30mm display bases that are used in Spinespur. So I went to my FLGS and...they didn't have any! Gasp! Shock! Horror! Now I have to wait forever and ever (by which I mean a week) to mail-order bunches more.

But it's okay. I decided for my post-apocalyptic games that I would use 25mm round bases as the standard, on account of the Shadowforge models being true 25mm and thus rather small to my eye. This is compounded a bit by the fact that they are all female, and thus somewhat smaller in stature to begin with. I would show some photos (they're lovely minis) but I've already primed them black and the photos I took are next to useless.

So my post-apocalyptic mutants are on 25mm rounds, and already based and primed, so I put down a base-coat this afternoon. I will be layering up paint on them all day, and hopefully around 10 pm or so I can kick into detailing mode and finish them up.


UPDATE: Not done yet, but coming along nicely
