Wrack em up!

Continuing with some commission work, here are some Protectorate of Menoth miniatures I did recently, they are used in the Warmachine game from Privateer Press. The theme is continuing with some others I did in the past, but as of yet posted up here on the blog.

Up first we have some Wracks.

And I will add the Hierophant up here as well. He is a solo for the Protectorate army, there to lend a hand to the Warcaster.

Someday I will add more of the Menoth commissions I have done, all for the same client. Also I am planning on doing a tutorial on how I did up the sand/desert theme bases. There is one more unit to finish, hopefully before Christmas and they will be up here after they are done.

Everyone have a great holiday, turkey is vastly approaching.

Mountain KING!!!!

Every game evolves at some point. For Warmachine and Hordes (from Privateer Press) it was the Colossals and Gargantuans expansions. Now I have my Cryx Colossal, and the Mercenary one is coming soon. This I present to you is the Trollbloods Mountain King!

The model is so beautiful, large and in charge (the figure mind you, his stats are subpar). Now as I have some Trollblood models I cannot wait to get this one in the future, this one I painted is a commission piece. I have mixed feelings about it. Before the pics I will rant abit.

I love to paint and this model is beautiful. The client wanted a fast cheap paint job. I wanted to go all in, deep detail, beautiful shading, colors, etc. But as we know, the customer is paying so they get what they want. I WILL be buying one for myself in the future to do me justice and bring it to life in my vision painted glory.

OK ENOUGH of that, here are some pics to enjoy of the Mountain King!

He is one big Mammajamma! the base is about the size of a CD (or DVD if you prefer). Over 6" tall and just pure awesome rage! The color scheme I was going for was akin to Doomsday from DC Comics.  The base is made mostly from Greenstuff and Sand Grit. As I said earlier there is SO MUCH MORE I want to do with him, but that is not what was paid for, to fufill my dreams I gotta get one of my own.

Until next time, next time...

Maelok the Dreadbound

Time for another commission piece. Maelok the Dreadbound, a warlock for the Minions army, for the Hordes side of Privateer Press. Maelock works mostly for the Gators side of things on the Minions side, and personally I like his style (I play Cryx mostly). 

He was done a while ago and I was asked to add a base. Bones litter underneath the swamp as Maelok makes his march. Again this was a quick, cheap paintjob but came out how I wanted the colors to.

Next up: One big MOFO!

Road Hog #3

And weeeeere back! Today I have 3 different commission projects to put up. I DID want to upload my 3D Dungeon "How to" build tutorial, but my phone is not connecting to the computer :(

Instead I uploaded these pics off my camera. So here is the first. Another Road Hog from Privateer Press! You may have seen his 2 brothers earlier, as this was requested from the same client. Cheap, quick paint job.

Now to go upload 2 more, ironically from the same client. I have just 1 more commission piece due the end of the month, and then back to my personal stuff! I am debating between Super Dungeon Explore of Zombicide. Or more Cryx, Pyrates, or....well you know how it goes: Too many models, not enough time.

Zombicide Event 10/27/2012

So my computer is acting up. I am posting my first ever mobile update!

These are some pictures I took of the Zombifest Zombicide Event at Comic Store West last month. To be honest, I get caught up in the action an there should be more pictures. I ran the event for 9hrs and it was a lot of fun.

There were many people stopping by checking out the game and getting into the action. We even ran the Switch City campaign and survived.

It was a great night and I am looking forward to next time I can run a big event.

Enjoy the pics, and If this works I will add more posts mobile.

Super Dungeon Explore Demo Dungeon

Super Dungeon Explore is a great fun game! I have said it before. Reminiscent of the 8-bit games of old, the folks over at Soda Pop Miniatures brings it to the tabletop with this game. Think Gauntlet back in the day, now add some chibi style miniatures and hours of entertainment.

The recent contest over at Soda Pop Miniatures gave me the motivation I have had for a while to build a 3-D Demo Dungeon for this game. As I am currently a member of Cool Mini or Not, Legion (the guys that run demos of games and represent the company at conventions and at LGS) I wanted to have a nice dungeon to demo the game on, something with pizzaz.  Here are the 5 pictures I choose to enter into the contest. More pictures will come later, including some WIPs.

It was a fun ride, and took about 3 weeks to complete from start to finish. Now I can get back to some painting as I have had another 2 minis added to my "TO DO" list.

Happy Painting everyone!!

Mid October Update!

Morning everyone. What a month so far, and it's been about a month since my last posting.

I am still alive, painting and building. Got a couple of projects in the works currently that will see posted near or at the end of the month. But taking a break right now to go thru the list!

1. The Mountain King. Large and in charge, the Trollblood Gargantuan from Privateer Press. Received him as a commission and I am doing him up right.

2. Super Dungeon Explore 3D Demo Board. Thats right, the guys over at Soda Pop Miniatures have a contest going on now and I cant wait to see the other entries. The contest ends Oct 31, so I gotta finish this one up as well.

3. Zombicide! The game is a blast, the miniatures are fun to paint. You have seen some survivors already, and I was planning on painting nothing but the zombies this month, that didnt go so well. But I am painting them between the others.

Well those are the big 3 projects currently. I also have a few Protectorate of Menoth army models from Privateer Press I received as a commission and another miniature or two I got for a second project. Both of these things I plan on working on in November, and done hopefully by Christmas. Ontop of working on my very own army that has been neglected for the past couple of months.

So in the future hopefully these will all make it up on this blog as well as a tutorial or two on base work. Thats all for now folks. Just a little motivation for me to keep going here and update myself and whoever is reading what I have been up to.

Keep imagination running wild!
