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.

Wip 240913



Progress on the enforcer - almost done (although the photo kills the blend in the armour). The dwarf just needs a final wash on the green. The blue bug is a test for the three, going to be dark blue/grey.

And the other wip:

Same set of models, progress on a couple:

Where the work is: 

After base coating the armour on the enforcer a grey green I decided the khaki colour worked so greenish/black it is (with a bit of metallic in the green/grey).

The pics not great but the dwarf is moving forward, brown, yellow and armour done, just face and green to do.

Dark Elves

From the completed shelf, 2 Guild of Harmony dark elves, plus an attempt at a scenic base.




The models were great, I really didn't do them justice. I'm happy with the nmm gold on the heroine but the skintones and steel armour at poor. The base almost works, I aimed to extend the osl, however I think a wall or similar behind might have been better. Still, this is the training stage so I called them done and moved on to the next.

Desktop State / Wips:

Currently on the desk (too much…):



90% done:

Kingdom Death White Speaker Pinup - needs more work on flesh tone, tats? A base that can fix the miscast left foot and some osl. So more like 70% but I'm not feeling this one at the minute.

30 % done:

Guild of Harmony Goblin Shaman - I'm going for an earthy, murky look, pretty de-saturated, lots to do yet. Not sure if the yellow/purple balance will work.

Hasslefree River Tam - at least that's who I'm painting. The skin tone is about half way there, I haven't got the dress colour yet, it's just 'off' somehow. Cardi almost done though (An attempt at holey/semi sheer like fabric). 

Barely begun:

Dreadball Enforcer (going to be Cerberus inspired test scheme for Deadzone models)

Dwarf (similar scheme to the GoH Goblin but much stronger).

Eden Chelsea (bought at practice model pre Escape (due next month?!)


Primed:

3 Dreadball bugs, primed with Vallejo White Primer, I'm really not sure how well it's covered yet, we'll see...
1 Dark Sword female heroine type.
