Jason, are the dreadds and nid painted with 'latex' paint? I've used a professional 'latex' paint, Liquitex brand specificly, as a primer and base coat. It has a similiar look as those models.

Yes. I use Rust-Oleum. Only cans I can find in a shade close enough to what I like.

1st up, 1 stray Night Goblin I got years ago when GW gave out free minis in White Dwarf. It had a free Dwarf model also. Both were the beginnings of the new, mono-pose line they came in the starter sets. He was a test to see how hard it is to paint NG's, since I'll probably have a couple hundred to paint.
1 model. 1 point.



Next, 15 Orc Boyz from the battleion box. They were supposed to have shields, Then I realized I'd better make sure they fit in formation....now, the shields don't fit.

15 models. 15 points.



16 points total.

And I got my mars attack kickstarter and I've just finished painting my first martian squad

Here they are before I glued their helmets



And here with their helmets. I wasn't sure if the picture would be good with the plastic dome but I think it looks fine


10 points for the martian

So 17 points added.

[skuller]

Cool on those Mars Attacks guys- I have to admit, I was scared off by those domes... glad to see how they work. I assume those were after varnishing?

[hapotte]

@skuller, 5 points added and cool corroded effect.

@spiralingcadaver, The helmets aren't a perfect fit and I did a bit of trimming on them but they work fine. I did varnish the whole model before gluing the helmet with regular white glue to avoid the frosted look from the fumes of the superglue.

[kturock]

Super glue? I use plastic glue; either testors model cement or GW's plastic glue.
