Finally finished!

These figures are the very last of the minis included in the The Walking Dead Kickstarter from Mantic Games. There was some terrain and cars too, those are not done.

Mostly Surviviors

Lots to do at work lately but I have my painting station set up so that I can take a few minutes whenever I have them and it does add up. Today the zombies are actually outnumbered by the survivors for once. As usual, they are all from Mantics The Walking Dead game. Lovely minis that are a joy to paint.
They are standing on a City Block mat from the fine folks at Battle Systems.

More zombies!

I dropped in at the GW store on my way home from work and picked up 2 more Contrast paints.

Eight more zombies and this time a survivor as well. I used a skin tone from Coat d'Arms and an AP wash for the survivor and two tones of brown for hair, otherwise it's all Contrast.



I have a bunch of survivors coming up next and after that perhaps some other minis for variation,

Long time, no post

My painting mojo has returned somewhat thanks to the new Contrast paints from Games Workshop. They really are as good as GW would have you think, or almost. Suddenly, decent results can be achieved in a short time with little concentration. The ten zombies below took three episodes of Stranger Things to complete, with time over for eating a burger and some ice cream.

If you are a good painter, they are a useful tool in you toolbox for creating spectacular minis. If you just want to put a horde of something on the table before you die of old age, they are a god-send.

They stand!

As promised last time, more titans from Adeptus Titanicus. I have built the first of the two titans in the core box and sprayed it with AP Gun Metal as I want the mechanical parts and everything I can't reach with a brush to at least look metallic. Next up is washing and painting the body before I start adding the various shields that cover most of the body of the finished titan. I also need to think about the base. The titan is just blu-tacked on right now and I want a basing that conveys the weight of this monster. Maybe a layer of clay, press the feet down into that, let it dry then flock and decorate?
Note that the entire project has been doen using Tamiya liquid cement meaning there was no filler or greenstuff used at all. GW has come a long way since the old "fill the gap with greenstuff until you can get the super glue to catch"-days.

Next to the titan is the first Knight. Also lots of fun to build and I really llok forward to painting three of them as a unit. The AT box was the most expensive hobby item I have bought in my life but I feel that I am getting value for my money.

They will walk!

Can you guess what will be coming next?
A hint:

 Yes, I bought the bix, expensive box. No, I did not need it. Yes, I have a ton of other minis.
