Yay! I got one group painted... oh wait

Just when I thought I had the whole Warmachine Mercenary starter set painted after throwing myself into it for about 90 minutes last night while watching the new high def TV in Man Island, I bring Magnus back to the desk and see that I'm still not done with one of the light warjacks.

DAMMIT!

So close! My Hordes order has in fact shipped. I found my priming spray, I'm trying to dedicate a few hours to them Saturday morning if possible and in an effort to be more proactive I'm hoping to paint maybe a little more tonight or tomorrow night.

In the meantime I'm thinking about selling off some of my star wars minis. I have WAY too many. I spent way too much, I could sell off some rare and very rare ones I have and probably raise plenty of cash to support my metal miniatures interest. Besides I think the quality of the minis from wizkids has really dropped off. The Bounty Hunters set really dropped the ball I thought. I haven't bought any of them since and the Halo Clix aren't looking too good. Which is kind of a shame when Rackham are putting out good plastic pre-paints like AT-43 and Mongoose has done a decent job with Battlefield Evolution. Oh well, I hope to finish off the last Mercenary from the starter and possibly the two Confrontation solos I started last weekend. One is essentially done, the other needs a few highlights.

I also finished off the only Reaper C.A.V. figure I have. It was my first real attempt at drybrushing and I think it turned out pretty good. Maybe a little heavy with the amount of the mini that got drybrushed but you learn. I don't think at this point I'd buy more of them. I'm not inspired by them. But Wyrd Miniatures keeps taunting me by showing sketches and greens of the new factions they are putting out. I REALLY want to get my hands on some of them. I'm trying to wait until they make official factions for the game so I can somewhat justify it.

Pictures of some of my stuff are coming soon. I just have to figure out how to maximize my paltry setup so the pics don't make my already mediocre paint jobs look worse. I'll probably then submit some to cool mini or not.

P.S. painting eyes still sucks!
