It really is, and surprisingly it goes together so well! I painted it in pieces (top half, bottom half, each arm, and armour plates). I recommend everyone to do that, it just makes it so much easier (especially with an airbrush). I glued each arm into a pose though, I am not a fan of things that move since it eventually wears down the paint.

Thanks all for the comments, now you all need to pick one up and try it yourself!

Bad news: I live in New England and cant prime outside and no spary box to spray inside.

Good news: Its 50 or warmer now and I just primed....22 bikers, 1 LS, 6 CSM, 14 scouts, 1 PA DA SM, 5 termys (WHYWHYWHY???), and 14 REM bits for various models above.

Maybe, just maybe, Ill have paint on them before Memorial Day.

Just finished my 2 dreads. One on the right is magnetized to run between a Libby and a regular Furioso.

Points added Optimus, that's a great kit to magnetize.

I really like those Batman sculpts.

[spiralingcadaver]

Me too- I keep telling myself I don't have the time or budget for another fancy skirmish game, but damn do they look nice. Also, Watchmen.

Yup, I'm a comic book nerd and really need to get Rorschach (which also happens to be one of my favorite bands) and The Comedian.

[spiralingcadaver]

Heh, Rorschach is actually the one KM model I've picked up- couldn't resist him, as he's easily in my top 5 favorite comic characters.

Hmm... can I make a list?

Rorschach
John DiFool
the Doom Patrol as a team (or Cliff if I really needed to pick)
Kaneda
...maybe Nite Owl as a distant 5th?

Wow. Think I managed to keep it to 4. The mainstream ones are too inconsistent (w/ too many writers) to have them as a whole (rather than an iteration) make it to the top 5. That list would be a hell of a lot harder if including cartoons/anime, though.

Finally got back to painting. Simple project to hopefully get the momentum going and the first of some Bones from the original Kickstarter that I've painted.

Zombies = 5 pts

3 models actually finished. I just realized I have 3-4 more completely unpainted.

3 Eldar Jetbikes. Iyanden Craft World.
The setting sun washed them out a bit.

I painted this (in an hour and a half) for the Iron Painter challenge over on the Wyrd forums. The theme is 'Fool's Gold'. I managed to get the build done in a few hours...and probably some of the fastest painting I've done in my life
