I know that nearly 1/4 of the year has gone by now (wait, what!?!?) and i didn´t upload any painted miniature yet (and last year I only finished one... whose photos i will upload soon, i promise!) so it´s time to add more minis to this blog. And pictures. People come here for the pictures. Anyway, this year I decided that I needed to paint if not more minis, at least some of the most "veteran" ones from the Evergrowing Pile of Load (TM). And nothing could help me more to this goal than a challenge with my pals.
And so, a challenge was issued!. Mr. Killian Doyle (who is a lazy ass and, therefore, doesn´t have a blog, but promised to paint 365 minis this year, duh) was my main target, and the rules where simple: we have to paint minis that we "owe" to someone in one way or another, either because we had promised that we will paint it for them, or either because they where gifs. At the end of the year we will see what we have and see if we rate number, quality, or just we simply point at mine and laught (most probably). Well, the first challenge was cast (Don´t have too much hopes for this one, that guy it´s nuts and it´s painting 365 minis this year... and actually DOING IT). Truth is it doesn´t matter as long as he paints some of the gifts he had received from me this last years *wink wink*.
But challenge calls challenge.
And then, my friend Von_Drake dared to challenge me on his blog. The objective: 200 points of Infinity the Game for our Annual face off. Since nearly all my Infinity minis were gifts, i could paint the same mini and actually "score" points on both duels so well, ¡Challenge accepted!. Yes, i know, it´s kind of cheating but it´s NOT exactly cheating so... go away XD.
Anyways, i had already started my army long time ago (building, not painting, i´m not THAT cheater XD), and that was plain luck, because Morats (or Space Monkeys as I call them) on his first incarnation seriously needed green stuff on several zones. Problems? Skinny legs and ridiculous mouths (actually, no mouths). I tried to fix them and... here is what i got:
