  1. Those are some of the best minis in the range, they're very dynamic and I love their dynamic poses. The bases you've prepared are very impressive too. The only thing that I don't like that much are some mold lines that you didn't get rid of. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing these painted.

  2. Took some quick pictures of Miss Terious this morning. A really nice mini and I'm glad it's a part of my Guild force now. I'm a big fan of Death Marshals (I dig their fluff and like using them in game) so I knew I was going to get her once I saw the first artwork.

    I wanted to paint her in a similar way to the rest of my Death Marshals, meaning that instead of the western look from the artwork, I would be going for an almost-undead one.

    This mini is actually made of 11 parts. I was surprised that I needed no GS at all while putting her together as each part fits very well. I only needed to remove a few mold lines but that's nothing unusual while working with plastics.

    I've got two of them since I placed two separate orders during Gencon. I'll probably put one of them on ebay, it would be interesting to see how much people would be willing to pay for it. Anyway, here are the pictures:

    And here's Miss T among other professionals.

  3. Thanks for the comments!

    @Darios - I started with a solid layer of Chardon Granite (the pot is almost empty now, never to be replaced by a new one :Sad_Puppet1: ). After that I drybrushed the whole surface with Reaper Khaki Shadow, Pale Olive and Bloodless Skin. After that I applied several washes and glazes. Since the tree was very bright at this point, I started by darkening it with brown washes and a black one in the recesses. I also applied a few randomly placed glazes (blue, green and red) to give the tree a more eerie, unreal look.

  4. Yeah I figured if you know where to look, you'll see it but then it's not that bad I think.

    I forgot to add this - a nice little song after a heavy post:

    I've also finished my Miss Terious models (got two of them) but still need to add some final touches to the bases. I will post pictures tomorrow.

  5. I haven't seen the plastic trees painted before so I figured I's start working with my Gencon orders from these. As I've written before, the sculpts are really nice with some minor things that could have been better (more texture on bark/faces).

    The biggest problem was the rope on which Eric hangs as it's way too thin to support the miniature and it's extremely hard not to break it even when painting it. So I started by removing it completely and replacing it with a wire. The faces are pretty well cast but for some reason they seemed a bit too lively to me. In order to remove that impression, I painted them using a "zombie" skin tone with very pale skin that looks like it's starting to rot.

    As you can see, I also added some skulls to the base (I simply glued the tree to a CD as it seemed it needed something solid to stay on).

    And here are the effects, C&C are welcome.

  6. I think you've managed to capture Gremlin's chaotic nature in your sculpt, their facial expressions and the way their bodies are positioned are perfect.

    Lucius is just beginning to take some solid shape but it looks like you have it under control.
