    Flame stuff done I believe. Batch painting 84 minis is a lot. The larger models will definitely be more entertaining to paint.
    Other than a few missed bits here and there, all that's left on these guys is the blue of the plasma weapons.

    These are spectacular, Brian (@brithebuilder), especially given the small size. Any idea how long it has taken to get the this point?

    @gblair - Thanks George! I haven't really been tracking time accurately, but I think I've got about 15 to 20 hours in so far. I just counted them for the first time today. I thought I was looking at like 50 of them, there's 84.

    @chinesegeorge - Thanks George, much appreciated.

    @fiveten - Thanks Spiros!

    I am looking forward to moving on to the larger creatures. These guys do look quite cool as a mass army though.

    I believe?... these guys are finished. I need to take one last look at each of them to see if there are any glaring issues, then I can add some mud to the bases and paint the base rims black.

    Almost forgot... all the helmeted dudes now have glowing green eyes! Layer of gloss white then a layer of bright green. I'm using a size 000 brush so the paint has to be really thin or it dries really fast on the brush point.

    A fine looking army, Brian @brithebuilder
    Those glowing eyes add something special.

    @johnb - Thanks John! It's the small details that really add visual interest. I like the stuff you don't necessarily notice immediately.

    Mud added to the bases. I'm pretty sure I used about 1/3 to 1/2 of the container.
