As previously mentioned - I was unsure of my ability to get through a batch of 6 terminators over the christmas holidays, so I had pulled out a few more WHQ monsters to try desperately to reach that painting points goal for 2013. Up now is the spiders.. +4 PP

no flash |
Quickly the recipe was;
- prime them with a necrotic flesh army painter spray
- paint a triangular blend from yellow to reddish on the middle of their body round to the end of the bulb
- paint one segment of the legs red
- paint the pincers/mouth silver
- drybrush black all over
- 2x army painted strong tone on the legs
- paint eyes silver, then lime green

I actually prefer the shot with the flash, it kind of gives the impression of a light being shined on them, and it's definitely easier to see their details. Also I am looking forward to taking better pictures next year - my parents and brother got us an amazing new camera for christmas with the new baby (including a tripod) and I got myself and my dad a small portable lightbox (
