I recently acquired 12 bases of second-hand snotlings. Which is quite a lot of mini-green meanness to add to my little green wave.

I almost passed on the deal, as the thought of stripping and cleaning these guys was definitely a turn off. However, upon closer scrutiny, I determined that I could use these existing paint jobs as a base coat to build more color on top of. I'm still confounded by the choice made, by whomever painted these models, to use silver as a color for the mushrooms.... but I think I can work past it.

I even decided not to repose these guys despite some of the models positioned somewhat randomly on their bases. I figured the more disorganized and haphazard their poses, the more of a rabble they'll appear to be.

The guy blowing the horn is apparently a fragile snotlling because the miniature is broken off of three of these bases, and all of them at their right leg!

I'm thinking these little guys will work well with the previous group that I painted back in the '90s and hopefully will tie up some of the foes they will end up facing on the battlefield. I recall that I modeled up those ordinal snotlings to use as Shokk Attack gun ammo back in the 2nd edition of 40k,. I also recall my devilish foes would target them in an attempt to deprive my shokk attack gun of it's precious ammo!

This might be a bigger project than I anticipated, but I won't know until I try, right? So let's do this! ...but not today. This post is long enough. Look out for part 2, hopefully soon!
