Here are some of the close ups.

As you can tell, I use a large mix of name brand paints and lesser known paints. When I first started painting, I started with Apple Barrel Paints which is a very cheap craft paint. Now craft paints are not the best options for miniature painting as the pigments usually come out as powdery. This actually works well for my painting style as the powdery effect comes out like a dusting usually similar to weathering pigments. As always, and questions or comments are very welcome.

The next unit up to paint is the 40 Ghouls.
