With the GK Kill Team in the bag I’m moving onto something that I’ve never done before; I’m entering a single miniature painting competition. The comp itself is here (you might need to be a member of the ‘Eavier Metal painting group on Facebook to see it). I’d never heard of the game system or miniature manufacturer (Purgatory) before, I just noticed the comp and thought I’d enter (the closing date is June 30th).

I’ll update when these are finished
