Fear The Squirrels

80 Skaven clan rats have been painted up, only awaiting the dozens of fellow to make up the rest of the army...  To take a break I did a quick paint job on Heresy's Hellmites: Nothing fancy, just a three color dry bush to get them up and off the table.  Lovely little sculpts, but I think I mismatched some of the backs to bodies. Colors: Body: Base GW Chardonite Granite, Wash Black, Highlight Graveyard earth Beaks: Base Tausept Ochre, Wash Black, Highlight Graveyard Earth Sack: Base VMC Hull Red, Wash GW Badab Black, Highlight Dark Flesh, Highlight Blood Red, Wash Ogryn Flesh Base: Mushroom, Wash Raw Umber, Drybrush Mushroom, Drybrush Butter Pecan, Drybrush Vintage White.  Army Painter 4mm/6mm grass tufts.

So, finally played through and beat Syberia 1 & 2, which have been on my list of games to play for... 5 years now? Was really looking forward to seeing a modern graphics adventure game. Pros: -Lush environments that looked beautiful -Steam punk aesthetic that I liked -The Russian environments and slant were a nice break from standard western/asian themes Cons: -Interaction areas didn't stand out. This made some puzzles into frustrating experiences since I had to go back and try to figure out what I missed, which wasn't always obvious as items blended into the background. -Story was so-so. Second one felt much more engaging then the first though. -Felt like a lot of back and forth puzzles, I.E. run over here, do one thing, run over there and do one thing, run back do one thing. Which is kind of annoying. I accept that not every puzzle will be self contained, but sometimes it got annoying.
