What power in the universe can transform base plastic in shiny metal? Why, the desire to obtain more Warmachine figures, of course!

I finished up the first batch of miniatures I’d laid a brush to in a decade and a half. I must say that they turned out MUCH better than I could have dreamt. Even in the unforgiving eye of the camera, the flaws don’t really stand out. Here, have a look:
