Success! I ended up braving the heat in the hobby loft after work yesterday and got the two assault squads finished, flocked and sealed.


Assault squad Mekhata


Assault squad Besenmut


Basically all that remained was some highlights on the bone weapon casings and the usual blue power cables and jump pack thrust nozzles so it went rather quickly. The addition of some grass tufts gives the bases a little extra zest and they're good to go!


The painting chart is encouraging at this point - nearing the tipping point where there's more done than not. Not bad at all! Next up, a trio of Drop Pods - not glamorous, but integral to the Khamasiin's deployment strategy!
