(Painting) Evil Hooded Minions 2 by Pulp Figures

Is it karma? Is it Kismet?  Is it Serendipity when you're cleaning up the containers and cases in the office, a bin of minis fall over and spill, and the first pack isn't just what you'll need for the weekend, but easy to paint as well? 

That's the uninspiring explanation for a pack of Evil Hooded Minions 2 from Pulp Figures jumping the painting queue.  Great figures to paint up, great spots for shading and highlighting, and a perfect foil, whether it's the Cult of the Hayride God, or a certain group can't wear white after Labor Day. 










This moves my armed cultists up to 15. The only differences between these and my first 10?  I gave the first batch comic-book style white eyeslits for their hoods, and these are heavier shaded with fewer highlights. 

And the best part?  I found another pack of Evil Hooded Minions 1 to paint up last night.  

In the Queue:  I though I had a set list to work on, but cleaning the office activate lead-pile hyperactivity.  I knew I got 146 Star Wars figures from the Fall-In 2024 flea market,  In my cleaning I finally found all the Star Wars blisters I got at the Fall-In 2023 flea market.  Almost everything got reorganized back in the totes, but "somehow" 10 figures for my Soviet Cthulhu game 5 of the Evil Hooded Minions 1,  5 oversized Shaolin Monks, and a few Star Wars core character minis may have filled the space created from the minis I just finished this past month!  Still in the queue from before: The Tiki Islander Gnomes is a mad science experiment in painting and styles.   Rebel Commandos are still right there, so the mounted OG Mouslings may not see the light of day for while longer.

Project: 350 -  We're the same at 479 (285/194) from last week 479 (284 draft/195 scheduled).  I am clearing stuff off the back end of the blog, but.... I'm adding stuff on just as fast.
