The Blue Horror Picture Show (Part 1)

 

Classic Blue Horrors.

What do you do when you thought you had 20 mint condition Blue Horrors sealed in blister packs but you only actually have 12? 

12 metal Blue Horrors.

While handling these blister packs one of them randomly opened spilling forth it's contents into the fresh air for the first time in 30 years.  So I figured I would just go ahead and paint them up. I used Contrast paints on them:  Asurmen Blue and Skeleton Horde.  That's it. Ok, a dot of yellow on their eyes, but really, that's it. They are battle ready and don't look half bad. 

Even Tzeentch protests industrial pollution 

Okay, so back to the numbers challenge that I started this post with:  I am short six models. I really want a big 20 model horde. Well, trying to fill that difference with second hand miniatures from eBay is proving to be quite a challenge, both physically and financially.  

So I tabled that idea and went ahead with working with the plastic set that I have. These are awesome models also, plus they also come with Brimstone Horrors.  Building them was trickier than I imagined they would be,  but I really like them a lot. 

Plastic Blue Horrors, primed. 

They have a few more details such as flames and jewelry items that will make them a little more time consuming then the metal ones above. But time is something I am out of so maybe I can get them done in another post? 

Coming up in March: A return to 40k, and back to doing some art. I hope you'll come back to see it then!
