Well, initially I had no intention what so ever to paint these as a) the mechanics of the game mean that constant handling is probably gonna knacker 'em sharpish and b) they are the sort of minis that get thrown in a zip bag at the and of the night. Common sense thrown to one side my dominant character took over (when did I ever listen to myself anyhow) and simply decided they must be painted because they are there!
Strictly non historical, nice fast techniques, everything on the link below painted in just short of a weeks worth of evenings sat in front of the TV

They do add a little extra fun to the game however and I really did enjoy painting them! surprisingley detailed for mass produced plastics too!
Great game btw!
