Where it's at (aka Kickstarters received)


A few 'done' models from ongoing projects...


Myth - got this from the Kickstarter, have played (and enjoyed it) a bit, mostly low level solo play so far. I'm working through the heroes/agents before tackling the darkness minions, trying to paint to a 'tabletop' level. The game tiles from Myth are pretty and the bases the models come on are ugly, so with a little knife work they're all going on clear bases.






Escape - another Kickstarter, I've only played this once so far, also solo, it looks to have potential but I decided to paint everything and then dive in. The miniatures with this were hit and miss, some came out perfectly, others are weirdly proportioned or not so well moulded (or assembled - the pvc on this one was all pre-glued). While working through these I've been trying to figure-out/learn/practise some basic techniques, so there are a lot of attempts and non metallic metals, osl and little bits of free hand - the models had enough character to practise on but were not so good that I minded a few failed attempts. I have just a couple of the character pvc models left, the Puppet Master and then the bots. Oh and a load of resin I picked up with it. And all the bases need doing... quite a lot of work before this one gets played.



These are from Bombshell Miniatures, very nicely sculpted and produced metals. I have a load of these plus the space ship they Kickstarted, and the Counterblast rule book - which reads nicely but hasn't seen the table yet. 



Mantic/Deadzone - I went in big on this, and although I've only played half a dozen times I think it's a great game. The Reb's, Plague and (restic) Enforcers are all painted and the characters have been sitting on my desk getting occasional attention when I have too much of an appropriately colour on my pallet. These three are the latest to get that treatment (and yeah, all the DZ stuff is on clear bases). The new hard plastic Enforcers are looking very nice but are still sitting on their sprues, this will probably be the next big project after Aetherium.
