So what do we have then?

So I used my buddies from the USA Discount Games inc. again, as they offer a massive price reduction, even over Wayland games, so that is pretty sweet for a Uni student like me. Even with the US mail service being a bit of a handicap as it is something that is not as good as the British Royal Mail, Discount Games gave me a refund due to me purchasing over X amount - you'll have to check with them though ;)

Wins all round!

I have ordered one of each of the Warlocks:
Bloody Barnabus.
Calaban, the Grave Walker.
Maelok, the Dreadbound.

Something that is nice about having a half-faction; you have fewer choices to make and if you are a bit of a compulsive in that regard like I am, this is a good thing :)

Wrong Eye & Snapjaw.

2x Blackhide Wrastlers.
Ironback Spitter - and my brother has one of his own that I can borrow.

Bull Snapper.

2x full Gatorman Posses.

Feralgeist.
Thrullg.
Totem Hunter.
Croak Hunter.

I have basically got access to the proven 'beasts, as well as the excellent Gatorman posses. These do most of the heavy lifting from what I can gather. With one each of the solos, I can fill out the points in lists and have some quite different things to paint whilst I am at it.

In the meanwhile, the package is in transit....

Cajun Crocodilians ftw!

G'day fellow internet travellers,

So here I am starting my second PP blog, this time about the Gatormen of the Minions faction. Some of you may have already seen my The Bridge of Worlds blog for Retribution of Scyrah. This time I'm going for perhaps a complete 180ยบ switcharoo, having a Hordes army that is not in the pristine white of Retribution, nor with sleek Myrmidons or having immaculate elven complexions. Greens and browns, organic Beasts and rough skinned creatures are all the deal here. Even the fairly infantry heavy vein that RoS has is forsaken with Heavies being much more plausible in a Hordes faction.

These guys look really fun, and that is what I am wanting from my gaming nowadays. Sure I want to win, but having an affinity for my little dudes is very important in terms of look and fluff.

I'll be talking about the painting techniques I have used, any modelling that is not simply sticking the minis straight together from the box, and all the usual things bloggers mention :)
