Green, Green, Nothing But Green

Well, not quite. A fair bit of brown, and some gunmetal, and a bit of a sort of canvas or cream, too, but the title was too good to pass up. P has gone to Birmingham to see friends and play D&D, and T was supposed to be visiting this weekend but a signal failure at Stafford last night sank that plan sadly. So today I did a lot of various things around the house and then sat down after dinner to do some painting. 

It might not be only green, but it is quite a lot of green

The first thing I did was drybrush the Firestarters with Waaagh Flesh, before giving them all an overall wash of Biel-Tan Green. I think (I think) that the next step is another drybrush of Waagh Flesh and then a lighter drybrush of Loren Forest, but we'll see. While the Biel-Tan Green was drying, I got out the Gretchin gun crews and the two grots who, when done, will bring my battery of Big Gunz up to three Kannons and my mob of grots up to 30 grots. 31 if you include the Special Forces Grot from the new Kommandos box GW put out for Kill Team.

The grots are great - Brian Nelson sculpts, I think - and they ooze character. I particularly like the grot covering its ears while the other one yells at it. Their kannon is somewhere in one of the boxes of minis in the garage, unless I'm misremembering and they in fact came with a lobba. I'll have to check the picture from the sales post I bought them from.

I'm going to try and get the Firestarters and the grots all done tomorrow. There isn't really a great deal left to do on either, really, so once the washes (Biel-Tan and Agrax Earthshade) dry I should be able to get all of them sorted without too much issue.
