Christmas looooooot

  Clearly there was a mix-up at the North Pole and the naughty/nice lists got confused along the way because I did pretty well for myself in the Christmas gift dept.

  Wargaming related, I got a Terminator Squad (see below) and a couple of the "Winsor & Newton Series 7 " paint brushes, which from what I've read are some REALLLY nice high end brushes.  I haven't gotten to use them enough to pass a final judgement on them, but just my initial reactions are.. best brush I've own.  I love the weight to them..  now has it made my painting any better.. NO, but I will say I noticiably enjoy using them more than my other brushes.  After a some more usage, I might post something about them.

  Now me doing some real painting.  I wanted to make this unit able to be customizable, so I cut out and magnetized it all.  

Maybe I should have asked santa for a new cutting mat that doesn't look like shit.

Then priming and painting began.

  While the primer was drying, I whipped up a set of terminator sized bases.

Since most of this army has a cloak of some kind (animal or otherwise)  I figured I have to do something for these guys.  After they're all done and painted, I might take another crack at this one.. feels a little too thick to me.  

Annnnd without further a do... the almost completed test model  (I always do the last little touch ups once the whole unit is done).  The cyclone missile launcher on top is also removable/magnetized.  

I feel like he's wearing a cooking apron backwards.. maybe black just isn't the color.
