Nice frogs. They can really be a pain to play against.

And a pain to play with. Two of my catchers died in the last game, one was blocked and the other tripped while leaping.

Aw, shucks, thanks!

It was actually a relatively simple paint job, despite it being made difficult because of the mini being slightly smaller than usual (read: true 28mm or close to it).

And now, for something completely different:

Image

A ganger by Heresy Miniatures.

Sat on the shelf for a couple of years and was finally object of some attention a couple of days ago. It started as a test to see if I could achieve some sort of iridescent effect and ended up as a nod to Grant Morrisson's "The Invisibles" with a quick reference to Alan Moore & Dave Gibbon's "Watchmen" (can you spot it?).

Quick tutorial for the iridescent effect... You'll need 1 acrylic silver paint (i used Vallejo Model Color Silver) and 4 acrylic inks: purple (i used the old GW ink), blue (Vallejo GMC), green (idem), yellow (idem). First layer is silver + purple, second layer was a drybrush of silver + blue, then silver + green, light drybrush & highlights with silver + yellow (*not* gold).

Comment: the priming was made using Vallejo grey spray primer. I am now convinced that it is a rather inferior product compared to Tamiya grey primer (fine) spray - rather than a smooth-ish surface, the Vallejo spray produces a rather noticeable texture.
