Admittedly I'm not done painting them yet, and true they don't exactly fall into cannon, as existing characters....but I like them!

They look pretty good are the Corps made by lanard? I think I had one who looked like Clutch the Vamp driver but his right arm fell off so I didn't get any more of them.

What paint do you use I have only Games Workshop paint which was good for touching up the Baroness nearly purple hair obviously they had a slack painter doing that batch but not so good for altering Zartan's black markings?

I used a model paint common in the States....I believe Testor is the brand name.

A word of advice if you use it, disasemble the figure as much as you can. Paint the base color first in this case red....let dry I mean for at least two days maybe three. Do more coats if necessary...let them dry as well. Then carefully paint accent colors in this case black, again let them dry for a few days. Then assemble the figure.

I made the mistake of assembling before it was completely dry, and it caused all sorts of paint issues. I now have alot of touch up to do.

Patience truely is a virtue.
