Just received this wonderful Otherworld order on the painting desk. There are a few other models littered in, including a great reaper dragon (that thing is beautiful), two games workshop elves and some resin from etsy I think.

​The assembly was mostly smooth. I just love working with these classic style white metals. The Otherworld stuff is almost all easy to put together, but there was some dremel work involved and a ton of pinning. I do however expect this with most metals. The bug/ worms have about 20-25 pins in each! The entire lot of infantry, dragon and ents took less time than each of those worms individually. Absolute assembly chaos. I managed to only drill myself once (and promptly super glued my thumb haha). Needless to say, those legs and tentacles are not going anywhere.

The entire lot fits nicely on one of my painting trays and I should be able to get through the majority of it this week, though it is the first week of the escalation league for MESBG near me, so I will also be painting for that.

The reaper plastics can be a bit hit or miss but this Dragon/ Hydra is awesome and quite a big model. It's going to be a drybrush/ wash dream and I just washed all my brushes this morning so I think this is going to be a great time! 

The Ents are extremely charming and even though they're monopose (ish) and the same pose, becayse they're white metal I was able to bend them into slightly different poses. 

I'm really excited to paint these infantry models, especially the minotaurs (top of the picture) and there are a few models in there that I've painted before, so it's always fun to paint models I've painted before and see how my style and ability has grown and changed.
