Honestly, I can’t wait to order the guy on the right hand side, they’re all great but I can see so many uses for him.
What this dude?
That’s him! One to be accompanied by a Xyston Scythian warrior woman as a sort of explorer/wizard and one to have some gubbinz added to as a space colonist. Great miniature – I love weird headwear.
Thanks – I’ve barely painted any in the past few weeks (got a move at the end of the month so I’m rushing to get certain things to the ‘varnished’ stage – 6mm and terrain mostly – before needing to pack up), which has boshed my momentum a bit. Finished this guy recently though (scuse the photos, lightbox is packed away). I’m really pleased with the conversion
Hiya all,
Well, I’ve daubed some paint on some 6’s for the first time in ages – I’m currently working on an idea for an Ork Warz! project using my custom units for Horizon Wars and some of the excellent Defeat in Detail Skinnerz – the idea is it will be a kind of mass battle-Gorkamorka type vibe.
Having said that, I felt a bit guilty about some other 6mm stuff I hadn’t finished, so got to work
This battlegroup is 5 Pathfinders, 5 Recon squads (3 men – a sniper, a spotter and a drone on a smaller base), 5 light skimmers and 3 small mechs. Depending on what units I use them as in HW it’ll give me about 25-30P, more than enough for the 15P games I’ve got planned. Scuse the glossiness – my new basing formula involves a glossy homemade ‘glaze’ that’ll get matted off at the end. More to come soon I hope.
‘iya,
Haven’t put my last entry up
Some REALLY excellent sculpts from Slap minis’ kickstarter – I heat tell they’re up for retail soon. Fantastic sculpts, some of the best 15s I’ve painted.
Thanks both
Got a couple of weeks worth of entries to add today
My 15mm sci fi is slowly getting to the point I want it – a chast of characters that I can draw on to play out some adventures. Civvies, slaves and slave traders next!
Sorry Ali, didn’t see your reply – thanks very much.
Here’s my latest group – loosely based on Tin Tin. I’m not 100% that I pulled the Tin Tin similarity off, but I’m chuffed with them as Minis – my overall 15mm project is just to paint loads of characters and individuals so that whatever game I want to play I’ll have the protagonists and NPCs. I’m slowly starting to feel like I’m getting there!
Cheers!
Yeah, here they are with my latest unit stood near the doors
It’s funny you should say that because I’ve got this saved as a terrain reference pic:
and I was just thinking how these aren’t that far off if I wanted to make some like that. I take any reference to Nausicaa as a massive compliment!!!
‘iya,
I might not have much new to show but I have been prattling about with these
So far they’re based and basecoated – I’ll be making them much lighter and giving the doors a tint so they stand out but they’re getting there. I need to make a tool that’s a small sponge but still rough for the next few painting layers.
They’re by no means amazing, but I’m pleased with them, add a bit of flavour to the style of sci-fi I’m trying to capture with my 6mm.
