I was finally able to finish up the first model of Scarecrow's militia today. This was the first time I tried to paint a camo pattern on a model (well, since I was 15 years old or so). While I am not entirely happy with the result, I don't hate it as much as I initially did.
I tried something new and it just did not pan out as I though. I though it was going to be easy, and I was wrong. I think one of the main problem was that I started with painting the model red. In the end there was just to much camo. This is one one of those situations where "less is more". On the next henchman I started with painting the black, then adding select sections with the red camo. We will soon see if it makes a difference.
I had a bit of a gap between Calandar Man and this first henchman. I was not idle during that time, I was just working on a different project. I picked up a pack of Blue Stuff from LoWG a few weeks back. For those of you who do not know what Blue Stuff is, it is a reusable mold medium. I decided to give it a try by casting up a few more jack-o-lantern counters to go with my Scarecrow crew. I was very happy with how easy it was to use and the quality in the end.

The new Arkham Knight book is out now, and I am very excited about the new equipment lists for all the crews. Cant wait to try some of them out during the Gotham City Map campaign at LoWG next weekend!
