Painting with the son

I don't have OCD, I don't have OCD, I don't ..... Yeah right. Apparently when it comes to painting minis I'm a little bit of a control freak. So I'm starting a new game system (Warlord) and the boy wants his own army. In the past we've said the u-marines and Cygnar were his armies but really I did all the painting. This time he wants dwarfs and wants to paint them.

Hurray the boy is growing up. Crap I need to learn to share my toys. So back to what we did. We assembled two dwarf models and he base coated them. Ok, the basic base coat is paint the whole thing black. Should have been easy but I kept finding myself taking them out of his hands and getting he deep recesses for him. I'm going to have to work on showing him things on one of my models so he can do his completely. Hopefully I can do better tomorrow when we start working on the base coat layer.

Also his previous armies are both blue. So guess what color he wants this time. That's right BLUE. At least I don't have to buy any paints for him. lol.

Here is the picture he selected from the Reaper painted gallery
I'm also hoping that since these are his he can use his household points to get more. Kind of like the girl does to get more webkins. Really a mini is cheaper the a webkin so I think he can do it.
