I also have an old Scavvie #2 that you likewise showed a while back that is in my Nurgle Cult warband and an old Bounty Hunter #5 that I've yet to paint since purchase purely due to never finding arms that I felt were suitable to his sculpt. But that's it, i think. They all sit, based, primed and unpainted in my "to-do" drawer with the 100's of others waiting their turn for my butterfly hobby-attention to alight upon them, paintbrush in hand.Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978439841611727387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-44100010947068068912018-04-01T16:17:49.143+01:002018-04-01T16:17:49.143+01:00Thanks Sean!
