I managed to finish off my set of 12 thralls for the Space Cadets: Away Missions game.  These guys are mind controlled humans who effectively act like zombies until you cudgel them over the head and rip out the mind control device.  

 

I am not too proud of these paint jobs, mostly because the washes were too uneven.  Hopefully I can improve on that when I tackle the aliens.

 

Thematic Paint Used - Alien Flesh...on the helmets.  Yeah I know.  Next time I'll do better.

I like the uneven washes. It makes them look like their jumpsuits have gone through different cycles of the station laundry.

 

Even in the future, clothes wear unevenly.

Hey Unit04!

I've been looking through your Space Cadets posts because Im about to start pianting my own!
May i ask, did you base coat, and if you did, what with?
I have a couple figures primed with Army painter spray matte white.. but im curious to see what others are doing, especially because ive been having a little trouble with coverage (never worked with primers before)

Also.. have you decided on a green for the aliens yet?

I was thinking Moth Green might be too bright.. but maybe if i darkened it a little.. then theres pale and even olive... Im not sure which direction to go XD

Heres the Primed tester models im going to work with:

Hey Kwirick!

 

I'm working on the aliens right now (I'm not a fast painter so its taking me a bit) and I'm going with Mekong Moss for the skin color.  I really like how it looks after a black wash.  Any of the various olive green colors would probably work just as well.  If you want to wait, I may have them up in a few days. Ish.  

 

For most models, I did put on a base coat of Pure White, but only because my primer didn't really get good coverage. I avoided black since this is supposed to be more whimsical then, say, Warhammer 40K.  For the Brain-in-a-Jar, I basecoated the brain in red, and all the metal parts in black.  I actually did not put anything on the beacon up top because I didn't really care if there was a clear spot.  In the end I'm not sure it mattered.  

 

After I took the pictures, I wound up putting a gloss coat on the brain and the space leaches to make them look a bit more gross.

      Modified soda machine robot

      I built a dispensor robot out of a reaper soda machine, a brain in a jar, a pair of goggles, a battery pack, and a pair of rat cyborg arms. 
       
      It'll get used for this is not a test eventually.

      Quick paint job on this Bones 3 piece - I regret not removing the mold lines, but it was really fun to paint this up.

      Maledrakh's 77493: Brain In a Jar
      By Maledrakh
      It’s a Brain in a Jar! I have always wanted a brain in a jar. So I can have a safe place to keep the moonshine, you can be quite certain that nobody is going to mooch off it when it is in there together with that thing...
       
       
      This one comes from the Reaper Bones 3 kickstarter and I simply could not wait any longer to paint it.
      It is a giant brain, though. The legs stand at about 5cm in diameter.

      Lidless Eye Hobbies: Castle Stoneskull

      I hadn't even realized when I began on these three that they were all from the "Castle Stoneskull" expansion from Bones III.  It was a great set for adding to the random encounters for an RPG.

      These guys may represent some of the high-level dangers that one could encounter while dungeoneering in Castle Stoneskull!


       
       
      The Behir.  I've been wanting one since a buddy pulled one from the first Huge set of D&D prepaints.  They even show up in Pathfinder's "Reign of Winter" and D&D 5E's "Storm King's Thunder", if only I had had this guy in time for those campaigns!
       

       
       
      Brain-in-a-Jar.  While I was hoping this would be a human brain, it's still a really cool design.  I wonder why the legs are traditional bendy bones instead of the hard plastic that makes up the rest of the mini (minus the squishy brain), though.
       


      The mighty Minotaur!  Bones has a lot of representations for Minotaurs now, almost as many as Orcs or Goblins.  There's the one from pre-Kickstarter, 2 adventurers in Bones II, and the whole set of Minitaurs coming in Bones IV!  Plus all the Beastmen if you want to count them, I've seen them used as medium Minotaur PCs enough times.

      This guy is my favorite, though.  Must be the Gladiator armor.
