Sinspawn WIP

Painting started today - got everything base coated and blocked out lights and darks.

Reaper Mini Exchange - WIP

If you've ever been on the Reaper Miniatures forum and watched the community, you'll know what a great and supportive place it is for painting, gaming, and socializing. Every year some dedicated members hold several miniature exchanges; usually Fall, Spring, and Summer, with perhaps one or two more jammed in. I try to take part in these at least once a year, and this year is no exception. I joined the Summer exchange, which started in May — and now it's already almost August and the deadline is fast approaching.

I had a hard time getting started on this one for some reason, and once I did find something I hoped was suitable, it took a long time to actually get it.

I chose the Pathfinder Sinspawn, as I know my recipient is a Pathfinder player and mentioned they needed bad guys.

I'm going to push this one through quickly so I can get it out next week if at all possible. Here's my beginning progress so far: opening, cleaning off flash and mold lines, and basing him/it. Most of the time so far was spent sculpting the base out of green stuff.

Stay Tuned for more progress!

Bakunin Moderators

Next up, the remaining two Moderators from the Bakunin box set. So far, these guys have been really fun to paint, and I'm looking forward to starting the remaining two models - the Zero and Sin-Eater Observant.

And a group shot of the progress thus far:

Reverend Moira

Definitely over due for a post! There have been some "life" hurdles to work through, but back to painting again. First up is the Reverend Moira from the Bakunin Starter set.

Necropolis Necromancer - Malek

Managed to finish a quick but fun figure before I return to Infinity. Here is Malek painted up to a tabletop standard. I hadn't painted with real metallics for awhile, and I struggled with them a bit. They could use a bit more shading in parts, and if time permits I'll go back and touch him up. Calling him good for now though.

Necropolis Bone Horror

Admittedly, it's been a long time since the last post. This is due to several factors, which include a broken camera, workspace issues, and a super busy schedule dealing with the reality of life outside of minis.

The Infinity Nomads are still in progress, and I'll have updated pictures soon, but I diverged a bit from the Sci-fi figures and painted up the terrible Bone Horror for fun (terrible as in he's scary). This module isn't the most popular of the Warlord line, but I think he's turned out as a success. I kept away from lots of colors and kept him pretty monochrome, which I think helps create his mood.

As always, let me know what you think!

So Far in April

Ok, I may have not been able to maintain my self imposed goal of posting every week, but I'm OK with that.  Life has been very busy with work and other obligations.

Also, I must admit...I've been pulled into a serious distraction called StarCraft 2 -- but its been tons of fun!

I have managed to get a few things done, including the Pathfinder Bones version of Seoni.

I've also continued work on the Infinity Nomads starter set, and have completed the first Moderator. She was my prototype for the set, and I copied the studio paintjob because...I liked it. True, it's hard not to like Angel Giraldez' work – He's got some amazing work and its always inspiring. And I wanted to see if I could do the Nomad bases the same way. I think it came out pretty good.
