I meant to post this earlier, but I wanted everyone to know I have placed a Cygnar Battle Group (metal version) up for sale on Ebay.
Cygnar Coleman Stryker, Ironclad, Lancer, and Charger!.
If you are into Warmachine, and want to start a new faction or you are new and ready to jump in, this is a great chance to do it with some great minis.
These two are part of Aberrant Games' Rezolution and are part of the Mercenary faction. Maybe it's the residual conditioning from a Catholic education, but I love these two figures. Lot's of character and menace, all dressed in the comfort of the cloth.
When I got these two I initially had a vision of having them on stained glass bases, and attempted that with cut green stuff tiles. It looked horrible, and I ended up mounting them on regular bases. Sister Carmine is heavy and her axe makes her a little precarious, so I mounted her on a metal base to add some weight, with green stuff surfacing. The Cardinal is mounted on a plain plastic base with some early green stuff tiles. Early as in I made the base a couple of years ago and am finally using it. At the time I made it, I was very happy to have pulled it off. Now it looks like a pretty rough attempt. In general I think I've decided to buy decorative bases instead of making them. The only ones I've made I like so far are for the Infinity miniatures.
For some reason I had a really difficult time photographing these, especially Sister Carmine. Depth of field, color, everything kept being off, so...not the best end results, but hopefully good enough to show them. I may go back and try again at some point. Until then, check them out!
Here is Reaper's Corporate Assassin from their Chronoscope line. She was a fun quick mini to paint up, and I plan to pull her into cyberpunk style games.
I know it's been forever and a day since I've been able to do an update. I could list the many reasons that have proved to be obstacles, but I will forgo drawn out explanations and get back to sharing some miniatures :)
Although I haven't been giving this blog the love it deserves, I have been still been painting and gaming and life is good. Obviously my main passion are games that revolve around miniatures, but I had the chance to play a few other games. If you haven't checked the card-based game Sentinels of the Multiverse it's well worth checking out. Well balanced, and cooperative, it has some pretty refreshing dynamics and is a ton of fun. I was also introduced to Munchkin which is another card game. Totally cooperative until your friends backstab you to steal the win.
As for mini games, I've been playing Song of Blades and Heroes, Reaper Warlord, Rezolution, and Infinity. I hope to create some battle reports in the near future. I'm definitely a painter over a player so regularly have my hat handed to me, but it's still a ton of fun.
I hope to post some of my latest completed models over the next few days. Starting with this one from Reaper — this is the Bones version.
I've completed the older (metal models) Cygnar battlegroup and wanted to share some pictures of them here.
I hope you enjoy! As always, please feel free to leave your thoughts and comments.
I've also listed these on Ebay, so if you are interested, please take a look.
Took some time this Labor Day weekend to do a few quick and fun models. The most finished of these is this -- I've had her for probably close to 8 years waiting to be painted. Patience pays off and she finally has a little color to her. Painted just for fun.
Sadly, I can't remember who makes this model, so if anyone knows, please let me know! I originally bought her to go into a Rezolution APAC force, but she's not an Aberrant model.
Just a quick update: I learned she is made by Copplestone Castings!
Finished the Sinspawn earlier this week, and I'm just now able to post the pictures. Skipped by a few WIP posts, mostly because he moved along so quickly. I had a lot of fun painting him, and never would have had it not been for the exchange. Now I'm off to get him in the mail where I hope he will find a good home.
