Mercs: Let's get it started in here

So yeah, I have a lot of toy soldiers that I want to play with! I had some free time today while the little one (TLO) took a nap. While listening to Starcity Games on Twitch, I decided to get my ebay order of Merc minis into something respectable. I don't know much about the game other then reading some reviews but at the buy in price I found in auction and a chance to play at Templecon next year, I decided to dip my toes into the water.

First thing that I have to do is clean up these models. I don't wish to be upset as I only payed around $25 for the entire box but becoming a victim of poor packaging sucks. I should have took a picture of the packaging that he sent the order in but I forgot in a state of total bummer. But to give you an idea, the box was very flimsy from prior use, just a handful of packing peanuts, balled up plastic shopping bags, and the minis all bundled together. Part of the reason I decided to go with the auction was that I was getting two armies that required no work as they were already painted. But unfortunately for me the state they were left in after their travel will require me to strip the painted mini's due to chipped paint and glue some pieces back to their respective places. So bottom line... more work for me. I am not going to work on all three armies at once so it is time to choose one and get to work...

So it is time for the FCC squad to take a bath...




So that is it for now, more later!
