In addition, as Dick Garrison over on the “Rantings From Under The Wargames Table” has kindly agreed to join me in our annual Movember Challenge for the next four weeks, I figured a handful of Big Mr Tong's prominently bearded miniatures would also be entirely appropriate to paint for this contest too. However, I will need to provide at least one planned model with some 'green-stuffed' facial hair in order to make them eligible. In the meantime though, I am busily cutting away printing supports on the likes of Shaggy Rogers from Mystery Inc.

Each soldier was subsequently shaded using “Citadel” Nuln Oil, and dry-brushed with (more) “Vallejo” German Fieldgrey WWII. Their details were then ‘picked out’ predominantly using “Vallejo” Heavy Sienna, Gunmetal, Buff, German Camouflage Dark Green, Heavy Brown and a series of “Citadel” Shades. Furthermore, the Panzergrenadiers' rifle tops, the general-purpose machine gun, and water flask stoppers were given a combination of “Vallejo” Gunmetal and “Citadel” Nuln Oil.

I’m also sure they'll be a fair few Sons of Horus Space Marines by "Games Workshop" showing up, courtesy of my plan to finally play some "Horus Heresy" in the near future. I still have several MK VI armoured Tactical Marines to complete, but these should be pretty straightforward to progress. I then intend to build a ten-man Blackshields unit, which whilst still bearing the Eye of Horus, can later on hopefully be used as Warhammer 30K pirates such as the Company of the Sundered...
