Thanks! Yes, I think some highlights would probably help, and maybe a light wash over them to blend them back in very subtly, along the lines of what steveb said. I was thinking I liked the color on the white as well -- it got me in the mood to paint some watercolors again. I haven't done that for a few years now.
Unfortunately, that would also take away from miniatures painting time.
My wife and I watched Labyrinth yesterday. It's the first time I've seen it in a long, very long, time. It was far worse that I remembered it.
But a lot of the goblins were cool and it slightly fueled my recent side-quest into painting a few goblins. I still have a few old Crucible goblins I'd like to paint at some point, but I'm resisting making any plans further than that. But at some point in the somewhat distant future, I may look into picking up some more odd gobbos.
Speaking of picking up things I shouldn't, Warploque Miniatures was having a "last chance" sale on a few old OOP sculpts that had been re-molded. There was one in particular that I had always wanted. I had only a few hours to decide. I took the plunge and this will finally be mine (well, an unpainted facsimile at any rate...)
I had a list of big, "must have," giants that I've waned. Not too rare, but most are usually too expensive for me. I already have the old Marauder giant, The Ultraforge giant, and now this one. Still on my "wanted" list are The Otherworld Giant, and the one from Black Scorpion.
Unfortunately, even on sale, I still couldn't really afford to buy him. So I'm currently going through some more of my stuff and seeing what I may be able to part with to cover the cost.
