It’s been a busy couple of painting days, but I managed to complete my Piranhas in time for the tournament! I managed to snap a couple of quick pictures this afternoon of the finished product. I still might throw some decals onto them later (although not before Saturday), but for now, I consider them done as far as painting goes.

This was a fun pair of vehicles to paint thanks to the open-top construction. Once upon a time, I was intimidated by the idea of painting the cockpit, but when it actually came down to it I just decided to enjoy myself and have fun painting sensors and buttons.

Besides these two (and their drones), I also managed to finish up two shield drones and four burst cannons (for my Hammerheads). It was a frantic pair of painting sessions, but I’m really happy with the results. I’m especially amazed at getting the drones/cannons done; they were just last-minute additions to the army, and I was able to knock out everything in time. I’ll still have four models unprimed at the tournament, but everything else will be completely painted.

Painting points: 10 (for the Piranhas), and 6 (for the drones and guns – they’re equivalent to infantry, size-wise). 16 for this project, and 22 for the year. I’m off to a great start!
