Sgt. Rock Posted May 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hm. It would be crowded, but probably? They're around 8mm tall each, prior to me putting them on those little circular bases, which are 12mm in diameter. They're pretty tiny, but I think they'd fit better if you put three on there. I'll post a picture of them next to some Space Marines tomorrow to give a better sense of scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I was hoping for four per base in a two-by-two formation. A little crowding is okay, since they’re supposed to represent close order infantry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted May 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 They might. I'll take a poke at them and see what it looks like, and post a pic if it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted May 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Okay, I only had three of them that weren't already glued to bases, and no 25mm square bases, but here's three on a GW 25mm round base. As you can see, they'll certainly fit, but you'll definitely want to paint them before you glue them down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 My standard practice with 6 mm troops in the days of Epic 40,000 was to paint the figs more or less complete, paint the base brown or green, glue the figs to the base, then flock the base with the figs glued on. These days, with easier access to much finer flock (and the invention of grass tufts), I think this will be even easier. Right now, I'm leaning to assembling armies out of Copplestone Castings' Evil Army for orcs and goblins, Pendraken's Dwarves, and High Elves. Not sure where I'm going to get my humans from... Copplestone's got some very nice "Not-Rohan" and "Not-Gondor" human figures, but there's also a lot of historical ranges out there too. Decisions, decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Finally got around to some hobbying again, more 15mm fantasy. Left is a dwarf lady from Splintered Light Miniatures, right is a bowman from Hordes of Things' Celtic Warband pack. Tried something new, used Contrast paints over a zenithal priming, then used an airbrush metallic for the dwarf lady's hammer head. I'm pleased with both techniques, which I got from Uncle Atom on Tabletop Minions' YouTube channel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted July 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Stormtalon WIP. Didn't want to mess with painting the interior and canopy, so I yoinked the armored cockpit from the Stormhawk. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Finally got off my ass and did some hobbying. Gotta wait for daylight to prime his base (custom 3D printed!) But after that, he'll be good to go. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted September 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Been painting over Zoom with a couple of friends. About five hours over two days produced five Intercessors and a Venerable Dreadnought. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Wait... wait... Is that a protective cardboard barrier on your painting table!? HERESY! Without a three inch thick layer of spilt paint, thousands of hobby knife gouges, and a half-empty Mountain Dew that you’ve been meaning to throw out since the Clinton Administration, how can you honestly call it a painting table? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted September 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 I haven't had this table for that long. Besides, my partner still has a vague delusion of trying to protect it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Rock Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Old skool chonky bois. A timeless classic, a mediocre paint job. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
