Droober Painting 10/10, Coolness 10/10 @ 2012-08-13 04:19:19 incredible
	atropos907 Painting 10/10, Coolness 10/10 @ 2012-08-13 04:26:00 Crud, that was a fast response. Thanks everyone. I do take comissions though im a little pricey and dont paint armies(except my own armies, rarely, like my xcom stuff, done in batches over the past 8 months). I paint 1-3 minis for you and my goal is for them to catch attention on the table! However, one guy has figured out a way around my no army rule in that I paint another set of 3 for him every 6-12 months. Painting an entire army at once just drives me nuts. PM me if interested. The dropzone commander stuff looks interesting which is the first requirement to my taking a comission! The second is that I believe I can do the model and your idea for the model justice. Some get around that by asking me to just propose a scheme to them and so far no one has been unhappy with the result... Happy painting/gaming!
