I have painted more miniatures in the past six months than I have in the nearly two decades prior. I'm about to finish up another four Ogres and just got an ink wash on a company of Combine LGEVs. My metal collection is at roughly 95% undercoated, excluding infantry. Later this week I'll be putting in a paint order so I can do up another two-three copies of Miniatures Set 1 and to prepare for the arrival of Set 2. See, once that arrives, I'll have about 1000 armor units, 900 individual infantry, and five dozen cybertanks, plus buildings.

That is something I both really look forward to, and dread. Running the math out of curiosity, once Set 2 / Project Legionnaire / Project Huscarl / Project (CLASSIFIED) arrive, I'm gonna be right about that same level...about a thousand armored units, 900-ish squads of infantry, and over a hundred cybertanks. Need to get painting (and making terrain, and sourcing a base mat, and sourcing a hex stencil for the reverse side of the base mat, and...) if I'm running Minis at a convention any time soon.

And yet..I was dancing in the shower this morning when I remembered that there will be 3 extra Mk.IVs / Fencers thanks to the 'per mailer box, not per set' bonus. It's not enough to do "All PEF paint schemes get a permanently-glued Fencer-A and a permanently-glued Fencer-B" as originally intended (and as per Phil, they didn't do a standalone run this time), but it is just enough to get me through Project (Even More Classified)...

I think most of you have already seen this, so I'll keep this short and sweet:

I finished my Martian Metals Ogre Mk. V today. Here it is, next to how it looked when I got it.

That looks great! Nice to see a successful restoration; he'll be crushing INF in no time.
