I had another go at trying Foundation Paints recently and I decided I wanted to paint some bright colours. Then the idea sprang into my mind. Since I had some spare bases of Scarabs laying around why not paint one of them in bright colours. Then I remembered I like M&Ms (the variety with the peanuts inside being my favorite) so the M&M Scarabs were born. :lol: The pictures could have been better but that's the best I can do at 3:30 am :tongue:

OOOH, now Im hungry!

These look SO cool! Mind if I borrow the idea? ^_^

I'd hate to be the poor Guardsmen having to choose between killing them, keeping them as pets or eating them (in turn, killing them!) :D

Dear god, I can picture it now, candy in the shape of warhammer 40k stuff!

As your attorney, I must advise you to change the name of these confections to avoid litigation. Perhaps "N & N's" since theyre of Necron origin.

Of course, these would be the "fun size" package.

Nice work.

Yeah, they make me hungry too. :D Of course you can borrow the idea Helgast Headhunter. I'd like to see an army of them... ;)

As for the name I'll keep it for now. If M&M sues me I'll ask for your help Redshirt. :D

do some really bright colors and u can have some skittle ones too :lol:

Oh... sweet ^_^ The orange one is my favorite, it looks best in my opinion :lol: Say... is that with one or several coats of foundation paint? I've heard some pretty amazing stuff about their coverage.

I painted one slightly thined down colour of Foundation Paint, then 1 or 2 coats of normal GW colours and the highhlights. It might sound strange but I think Foundation Paints cover better if they are slightly thinned down. And they don't ruin details as well.

Necrons, taste the rainbow

"candy in the shape of warhammer 40k stuff!" id hate to be the one who gets that spiky CSM. I can see some lawsuits now :lol:

back on topic, i love the colours verybright they look great!
