But they are so Giger-esque that it seemed rude not to give them a similar colour scheme to my other Aliens. You've really started a snowballing project for me by sending me those "Horrorclix" of yours, so a huge thanks to you once again as this well now be the Year of the Alien in blogging terms for me. You should see why over the coming weeks ;-) Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-65815752499744084332016-02-20T04:17:25.217-08:002016-02-20T04:17:25.217-08:00Awesome love the Ice Toad I quite like those Nagru...Awesome love the Ice Toad I quite like those Nagrubs as well they would look good as pred hounds if you did them in a different paint scheme<br />Simon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-21542822313782808222016-02-20T03:47:20.677-08:002016-02-20T03:47:20.677-08:00As others have said, the toad has turned out very ...As others have said, the toad has turned out very well indeed.

But he's certainly grown on me since I started painting him.
