Tabletop Kriel Warriors and a rookie mistake.

I've had my Trollbloods for quite some time now, and in light of my recent post, I decided to power through my unit of Kriel Warriors and make something work. I figured out the recipe for a skin color that worked for me and painted these guys up in a couple of nights. They are only tabletop quality and I had to let go a bit, but they represent what they are meant for and look good from 4 feet away.

So I finished them and went to seal them. I walked outside and grabbed the can of what I thought was my sealant. I sprayed some and thought it looked awfully brown, one more spray confirmed it, I hit a few models with Testors model color brown. So now, if you look closely, you can see a few warriors look like they've been through a mud bath. I was irked for a few minutes but decided not to go back and repaint them, they will just be a few who got in the way of a couple of Dire Trolls and got tossed aside in the mud. Snow and dead grass will be added to the base since these guys follow Borka around.
