When I painted the Ice Warriors and submitted them the the Analogue Painting Challenge, I couldn't face doing the Ice Lords (their officer caste)* and left them for another week.
*How do all you World War types mange with all those shades of greens and grays?
Well here they are.
To be fair to Black Tree Design their monotonous green and lack of features isn't their fault - that's how Martin Baugh designed them for the BBC back in 1967 - fiberglass helmets and green wellies and all. The towel is down to me - and much comment it has generated on the Challenge website!
I bought these figures second-hand, and it wasn't until I got them unpacked that I realised that the previous owner had done some conversion work to them - the figure above on the right has had new arms and some embellishment to his helmet, whereas the figure on the left has had his belt removed. Righty has been designated the Grand Marshal. For such small mercies, I am grateful.

Great to see the unit completed Edwin and I know exactly what you mean about the repetition of colours. All for a good distraction me.
