Hi everyone,
Few years ago I received as a gift a small box full of tiny little paints with even smaller paintbrushes. I put down my crayons and paint by number books to test out these ridiculously tiny chubby looking storm Troopers. Some of the paint ended up on the figures, but most spilled on the counter, moms rug, my jeans, and the cat licked some of it up.
I was hooked!!!
I received another box from my mom 10 years later ( I still had brushes and a few items from the first box) this time a silver suitcase with a ton of new games workshop paints as a gift to take with me to Iraq. I managed to get more paint on my gear the my chubby looking stormtroopers ( these are now my ultramarine chubby stormtroopers). I had to put a few drops of water in each of my 60+ paint pots every 3-4 days to keep them from drying up in the heat. ( that's why there's no 40k tourneys in the middle east just In case your wondering)
So back home now with a ton of watery paints Ready to give a box of tyranids a shot but find my self painting lady bugs and mushrooms on my girl friends nails more often them painting chubby space men.
A mans got to do what a mans got to do
