Yeah, I've watched a few youtube video's of people playing the first couple of years, so I knew enough lore that it was acceptable. I'm still terrible at painting eyes (I think I've probably painted about a dozen figures at this point, so basically brand new to the hobby), so this seemed like an easy out. I'm honestly not sure what I'll do with other survivor models. Not sure if I'm just going to keep going with random hair/skin combo's and just end up with a random army of guys eventually, or what. I might just do all the eyes like that so as to denote these miniatures belong to this game.
This coming Sunday is my birthday, and I've talked another group into starting Gloomhaven then.. so I'm thinking I'm going to try to get the starting mini's for that painted first.
