Late Night Painting

Maybe I shouldn’t paint at midnight? I definitely shouldn’t take pictures at midnight.

These guys still need basing, obviously. One day I’m sure I’ll hold on snapping pictures till after anti-shine and basing but I just get super excited after painting.

The figures in these pictures are: (a) plastic i-Kore/VOID marines with space knight helmets from Puppetswar.eu (the plastic bodies are quite low detail, if you have big money I recommend using entirely Puppets War parts) (b) a Maelstrom’s Edge Hunter robot (c) a Games Workshop Cairn Wraith and (d) a Mantic Games Strider mech.

Or in FRAG (a) Argent Knights (b) a GRUNT bot (will probably rename these to Eraser or Reaper bots) (c) a Screaming Phantasm and (d) a Mechatron (vehicle for human armies).

The rules for Argent Knights, Phantasms and Mecha are coming out in FRAG Episode 2.

Things I’ve Painted

Things I’ve painted this fortnight:

x2 ‘Demon Heavies’ converted from Mantic Games’ Abyssal Moloch (a tankbuster heavy with particle lance still on the to-do pile)

1x Royal Marine Ork lightly converted from Mantic Games’ Deadzone range. They’re old Mantic and huge pain to prep for painting.

16x Skeletal Reapers from Black Tree Designs.

These have all been varnished and are still waiting for a matt coat to dull the shine.

What’s on My Paint Desk (3.6.18)

Not so keen on the ‘Imps’ (Mantic’s Tortured Souls on the right of the last picture), I think I’ll re-do them. Perhaps a lighter blue for their loin clothes.

FRAG Update

UAC marine is a converted Maelstrom’s Edge model, the Doomslayer is a Mantic Forward Observer and the Cacodemons are Macrocosm “monster balls” with some horn accessories stuck on.
