Below left is a monster from the City of the Ancients (Shadows of Brimstone). Army painter Speed Paints over a rattle can zenithal highlight. Extensive work to fill in all the gaps! Below right is a Dimensional Shambler from Cthulhu:Death May Die. Army Painter Speed Paints over a rattle can zenithal highlight. Done in 2 hours. I love the Speed Paints! I haven't tried them through an airbrush, can't wait to try that next!

Looking for a ride! I'm arriving 8/31 at 11:10pm, going to the Denton Convention Center. I'm leaving for a 6am flight from DAL. Does anyone want to share a ride either way? Cheers!

I'm in! I'm going for the monsters right now. As I see the investigators, I might decide to chip in for those as well. To let you all know what a nut I am, I created a Cthulhu-themed army for Warmaster -- which is in 10mm scale. I used some of Rafm's Mythos monsters as Greater Daemons and commanders for my army. I used to play Call of Cthulhu in high school. My favorite adventure was when my characters woke up in the body of a woman. The GM gave me the option of rolling up a new character, but I didn't. Violet did pretty well for herself up until she confronted Nyarlahotep all by herself. I had to roll up a new character after that. Anyway, I'm in!

Thanks! I had fun with the weathering and making them dirty. I debated altering the sniper's chest to be armoured. I think giving her a breast plate will help her fit in better visually. I have few more sets of Novas and IMEFs now that I traded some of my Bones. I want to create at least one other female Nova. I'm thinking about converting a Nova to kneeling/firing position. I would love to see what you folks are doing with your Novas and Chronos!

Love it!

This looks cool. Thanks for the stage by stage photos!

Chisel blade on an Exacto blade? What does the shield look like?

I love the colors! I like the smoldering look.

Baugi: Here's how I did the eyes. Bear in mind that the figure was primed black. So the first thing I did was paint the eye sockets white. Then I painted yellow over the white. Then I painted a thinned orange-yellow paint over the eye sockets. The orange-yellow was a little past the eye sockets -- this provides the 'glow'. Then hit the center of the eye with a white slightly tinted with a small bit of yellow. Dai-Mongar: Thanks! This figure was a lot of fun to paint. Yeah, the dark heroes are awesome! Thanks everyone for the kind words and the likes! Your feedback keeps me motivated!

I really loved painting this guy. He's mostly metallic with different washes to tint the metal in different directions. And he's evil, so he deserves a good paint job. Here's a good shot of the sword: Sword and Shield: Back shot: Front shot, glowing eyes and all: Here's something I did yesterday: Skippen, I set aside 30 minutes everyday for painting/hobby stuff. I do it in the morning, and I get an hour or so at night if I don't need to do anything else -- like meetings or classes or work late. I'm red/green color blind. All color blindness comes in varying degrees, but the extent of my colorblindnes was driven home to me about 6 years ago when I was driving my wife and daughter in Maine to visit relatives. We stopped at a rest stop to take care of natural needs. When I came out of the rest room, my wife and daughter were on hands and knees on the grass. "What are you doing?" I ask. "Picking strawberries!" my wife answers. "Wild strawberries! They're good!" "Where?" I ask. "You're standing in them!" So shrug, and get down on my knees looking for strawberries. They are eating strawberries like no one's business, while I look and look and find one. They keep eating and I find another. After I picked (and ate) about 20 strawberries, they were full. Not sure how this story relates to anything, but thought you all might find it amusing!

Hi again! Suden -- I love the story! I placed them in a skirmish formation as if they were a raiding party. The story really fits the photo. I took a second look at the picture of the Novas I posted, and I see most of them looking off to the right, but two figures are looking left. What's to the left that is so interesting? Nothing good, I bet. My daughter was pleased by your compliments. Ungoreatstefan -- I hope you like this figure as well! Here it is: I need to take a few other photos of this guy. I did something special with his sword and shield. I want to see what you folks think about the effects. Thanks for the compliments and likes!

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words! And the likes! Zoroaster -- I'll tell my daughter that you like the griffin. I hope it will encourage her. I'm working on another one that I hope to have done Sunday. If I weren't camping with the family this weekend, I could proably have it finished tomorrow.

I picked up my Vampire box and ReaperCon. I've been painting the figures in between other painting projects, and I thought it would be fun to post pictures of what I've painted so far. I even got the interest of a friend of mine, and we spent an afternoon painting. I showed him the basics -- base color, dry brushing and washing/glazing. So who knows, maybe I infected a new person with a love of painting miniatures. Without further ado, Orcs and Kobolds: And now for some Novas: The bases need to be done, but I enjoyed making these a bit beaten up: My daughter did this one:

Here's a group shot of my Novas: I need to work on the bases -- right now they are a neutral grey. I want the bases to have more dirt on them, to match the mud and dust on their boots. I hope you like them!
