February eh? I hates it forever. Actually, more to the point, I strongly dislike painting these bikers. Anyway....Behold!
I had to do something with their numberplates. I mean - they're right there! Sometimes I panicked and just came up with something lame. Lockdown ZOOM anyone? Anyhow. They done!

Bossman Nob and sidekick:
The banner will be added during the WILD CARD month. Also, I see now that I've neglected to paint some of the chainsword. That'll be corrected too.
I like the flames on the mudguard of the nob bike, and I think I'll add them to the rest of the unit. I thought about adding some hazard striping on the sword, but in the interest of pushing on I left it. I might add it later...
Well...
That's my model count requirement done, and I am pleased. Although there are some More. Bikes. To. Paint. Flip. Iddy. Flip.
To relieve the hate of painting bikes, I painted these EXTRAS.
(A low model count this month, but mostly I've just spent a lot of time staring at the bikes to paint...)

Grot assistant:
Squig:
This 👆 smolboi was not in my initial intro post. Here's a snap of some more EXTRAS models with January's White Dwarf as a date stamp, just in case I paint more! They're squigs from the wonderful Knightmare Miniatures, and also a fan sculpt of the facehugger squig available via ye_alchemist miniatures.
