IamTheHuman Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 I believe this is where we upload finished products. If I'm wrong, direct me there. But, finished this guy up recently. Technically I sort of mixed the miniature pieces up a bit. But, I liked the Puke and so did my GM but I like the teeth of the maggoth lord (the puke is from the other dude, I forget his name).I'll post some of my other mini pics here later. And all other local painters should feel welcome. My whole reason for being here is to find a painting buddy or two. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamTheHuman Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 And forgive the sideways photo. My phone has it the proper direction. I don't know why it got rotated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Looking very nice, dude! I mixed and matched bits on mine as well, since I'm using it as something entirely different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamTheHuman Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Thanks guys. It was my first "large" miniature. Before its just been orcs/goblins/NPCs/PCs sort of thing. Maybe a spider or a demon here or there. But I definitely dig larger miniatures. I'll upload some of my goblins probably tonight or tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamTheHuman Posted December 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I know. I lied. I didn't upload my goblins. But, here is my most recent miniature I painted. I've been trying to hammer through this age of sigmar pack I bought from Pretre at GG swap meet. This guy is from it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamTheHuman Posted December 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I bought the GW "astrogranite" and was like, [big bad swear word] man, I could make this! Turns out, I can KIND OF make it. It was only my first try though, but, here is the recipe if you're interested (or anyone else) 1-1 ratio of literally any crappy craft store grey in the big plastic bottles to elmers school glue (or any other PVA glue). 1-1-1 ratio of 3 different sand grain sizes. And an amount of the weird powder green flocking used for fake grass. I don't remember what its called but it might as well be powder. I used about the same amount as one of the sand grain sizes. I noticed that the "rocks" in the astrogranite are actually kind of soft. So next time, I'm probably not going to use any sand at all, but maybe shredded styrofoam instead at various levels of shredded (I have a crappy blender I can use). But, the texture above is what you'll get if you follow my suggestions. Cost me $2 or so total in materials. Of course you have to initially buy much more than that (I guess like, $15), but I made enough to fill that astrogranite container probably 10 times. So... obviously this is the better route. The only downside is that it doesn't "stick" to the base as much. You gotta kind of smoosh it down a bit. Get the glue to tack with the base. The large rocks are super simple. Plaster of paris on a baking sheet. After this run, I learned mixing 5% PVA in with it really helps the longevity and integrity of the plaster. Use some plastic wrap on the bottom of your pan so you don't ruin it, plus, it can help with texture, it doesn't need to be smooth. At the halfway dry point, I started using some clay tools to scar the plaster. Let it dry for a day, break it into pieces that fit your basing needs. Boom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
