From the early days of the Cabin Fever Painting Frenzy, but still one I’m really proud of Marvel Crisis Protocol’s Captain America. He was the final model of the core set I painted (and I even bought and painted the Hulk first too) because I was worried – okay, I was downright frightened! – of screwing up his star-spangled shield. It is the most important thing to get right with him and to make it look right you’ve got to get those curved lines clean. The camera picks up a few little imperfections that the naked eye doesn’t. I pushed myself with Cap and am happy with the final result... But the model I’ve had the most sheer fun painting was M.O.D.O.K. He’s just such a great, classic Jack Kirby design and the sculptors managed to capture the balance between menacing and goofy that the character should have. Painting the “fart cloud” was fun, plus it’s always great to use colors like purple and yellow that normally don’t see use. But it was his big giant head’s big giant face with a big giant sneer meant I got to play around with blending skin tones and shades that I normally don’t (and can’t) do on a normally sized figure. Heck, I’ve even made M.O.D.O.K. my Facebook avatar: 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Great job on both of those, Ish 👍 👍 It's hard not to love crazy ol' M.O.D.O.K.. I think the model I'm happiest with is my Primaris Lieutenant. The Squigbuggy was more fun, but I think I did a better job on the Imperial Fist... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 This week, the goal is to turn this pile of subcomponents and bitz into a completed model. My wife got it for me for Christmas mumblemumble years ago, and it's long past time to finish it off. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountElmdor Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Did someone call a hunting party? Among these guys are my very first ever painted miniatures, now painted over, of course. Some of these were Imperial Fists before, and some test models for a Black Templars force that never came to be. Now they all join my White Scars as Ebon Keshig, who wear an alternate livery signifying their... special qualities that have made them a part of that brotherhood. They join my previously painted Aggressors in this small contingent of the army: Of course I need an HQ to finish out the patrol detachment. Fortunately, I have just the model. The old Kor’sarro Khan from before he got Primarisized! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I made a thing! It’s a useless thing, but it’s mine! The very first test print on my new 3D printer. It’s a 20 x 20 x 10 mm lump of plasticized corn starch, but it’s got three (3!) whole D. That’s one D more than any square my other more primitive printers could make! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountElmdor Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 This is the old Kor’sarro Khan model from before he went Primaris. I’m using him as a generic captain with a relic blade. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 I haven’t so much as touched my Samurai army this past week. The first half was swallowed up by home improvement tasks, the middle was consumed by birthday shenanigans (my oldest and I share a birthday), and the last half was spent playing with my new 3D printer. But I did paint up this earth elemental soldier to go along with the two spellcasters I already did. I’ve mostly been printing these guys as “test prints” to iron out kinks with my new 3D printer. But they’re absolutely adorable and really fast to paint. I’m tempted to make a full warband (if not a full army) of the lil guys. They’d work in most fantasy game systems as “counts as” goblins or dwarves, I think... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Groundbreaking has begun on the City of Frostgrave... or at least 36” square of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountElmdor Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 That for Underworlds? I’ve been playing the PC adaptation of the game, and loving it. If you’ll play on the tabletop, maybe I’ll get some minis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ll play on the tabletop, maybe I’ll get some minis. It’s my understanding that Underworlds is played on a gridded map of fixed size? If not, then this table will certainly work... But my intent is to make a table for Frostgrave from Osprey Publishing. Frostgrave is a 28 mm scale skirmish campaign game, not too dissimilar in concept from Mordheim or Necromunda, but with a lot less bookkeeping and without Games Workshop forgetting the game exists after six months. There is an updated second edition of the game due out later this summer (although, these days, who knows if it will be released on time?) and the first edition of it is currently available as a free PDF. It’s a wonderful game that only asks you to collect about 10 miniatures (although I recommend about 15-20). The table is 37” square and my plan is to have a few fixed pieces of terrain, like the raised platform (above) in one corner and a hill/glacier (not yet built) opposite. I’m going to run some cobblestone roads across the table and make some “frames” out of stone sidewalks. These “frames” will all be in fixed sizes (I’m thinking three or four 6” and one 12” in the center) and of fixed depth. Then I will be able to make other pieces of terrain on bases that will “plug in” to the frames. Frostgrave is meant to be played on a 3’ x 3’ table with a lot of terrain to represent the ruined city. But I’d also like to be able to play Oathmark or Age of Sigmar on the same table. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountElmdor Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 oh, duh, I was confusing the name with Beastgrave. yeah, Underworlds uses a hex board, that just slipped my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountElmdor Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I finished the second half of a tactical squad for my White Scars yesterday. Next up will be a Rhino for them to ride off into the sunset in, since their not Primaris! (I’ll still run them) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
