Still enjoying computer problems with my own laptop and so have to borrow someone else's to post this 😒 Still in lockdown and still trying to catch up on a load of unpainted lead. So here is the latest addition. This little fella is from Armourcast Miniatures and is called a Dancebot. Kind of reminds me of someone...
Alright. Time to give the computer back. So that's all for now!
My personal laptop recently decided to go on the fritz not loading Windows. My RPG buddies can fix it but thanks to the stupid lockdowns we haven't been able to get together since mid-June 😠So not happy. Needed to borrow another laptop just to post this.
Anyway, so I recently bought three D&D Wizkids Giant Scorpions but wasn't really sure on how I wanted to paint them. Seeing their size, when they arrived in the post, it hit me that these would be ideal as Radscorpions for Fallout Wasteland Warfare as well (and a darn sight cheaper too). I am developing my own home grown D20 rules for Fallout too so that we can rpg in the Wasteland using a rule system we know well as a group. So Radscorpion paint job it was then.
Hopefully I will be able to get my laptop back into working order soon.
I've finally gotten around to painting up the Power Armour suit from the Fallout Wasteland Warfare miniatures game by Modiphius.
Paintjob was fairly simple. For the armour I just:
* Base coat in Chaos Black spray
*Wet brushed in Dark Brown (adds a kind of rust look to the deep recesses)
*Heavy dry brush the armour and gun in Boltgun Metal
*Washed in Brown Wash
*Highlighted in a dry brush again of Boltgun Metal
*Painted the eyes in a Sky Blue, the head lamp White, the cylinders on the back were painted Terracotta and the gun was highlighted in Khaki and Terracotta.
*The power core was painted in a bright red (Evil Sunz Scarlet, I think)
Job done! Other than the base. That was a little more work. But its good enough for the table now.
So what do you call a group of Elder Things? I'm going with 'gaggle'.
Anyway, these are from RAFM Miniatures and are, in my humble opinion, the best sculpt for Elder Thingies on the market.
So I posted the other day regarding the Barrage Miniatures Viking Boat being useful for 28mm and using it for my D&D game. One thing I also noticed with the Barrage Miniatures boat was that it would also make a pretty decent Viking Longship for 10mm miniatures. As such, it would also be suitable for 15mm as well. I'll show you what I mean:
It's probably just on the larger size for 10mm, and it would require a piece of dowel rod to make a mast for the ship, but I think it does a decent job of it. The Barrage Miniatures Viking Ship would be too big for this, but their smaller boat is a great price and would be very suitable. If it works for 10mm and 28mm, then it would also suit for 15mm miniatures as well.
I bought last year some Viking Boats from Barrage Miniatures and recently painted them. These really are beautifully rendered in resin and the lady who now runs Barrage Miniatures was wonderful to deal with. I ended up buying two of the 'Viking Boats' and the 'River Barge' for use in our D&D game. They also make a very nice 'Viking Ship' that is about 1/3 larger than the boat and so would fill the gap of an exploration ship for the player characters.
I'll make another post on this regarding something else I discovered about this boat. So stay tuned.
High Queen Khalida Neferher. I've had this miniature for years but haven't gotten around to painting her. Now however my D&D group are, when we can meet between successive lockdowns :( , exploring tomb complex and are about to meet her. So that was the impetus for me to finally get around to painting her.
