The past week has seen less hobby time overall unfortunately, but has still seen the completion of the GCPS strike team.

I did try to paint in eyes on some of these, but failed in that, so flooded the sockets with Nuln oil to try to get around it.

Next up I rolled out the magnetizing to all of the minis. I used A4 ‘Really useful’ boxes and self-adhesive ferrous rubber sheets.

Because I am using ferrous rubber sheet the pull strength of the magnets is reduced a little so I had to add some 6mm magnets alongside the 3mm ones on a number of the minis, then used 6mm as default after that. For the larger minis I used two or three magnets, just to be extra safe with them.

Then it was back to the Veer Myn Pack Leader to finish them all off.

Initially I went with a contrast green on the trousers, but wasn’t happy with that – so instead I went with a darker green normal paint and layered it up in a few stages. Happier with how that came out. Followed by picking out the metal parts and details, applying some blue to armour panels, flesh tone etc. I was going to leave the claws yellow, but it didn’t feel right, so went ahead and painted the main part of the claws in metal – Captain Slicey Fingers was ready to go!
