A Hero to Save Us

Greetings, folks.  It's time once more to tune in and see what I've gotten done today - and just as promised, I have the finishing touches on the figure from yesterday, as well as another one that I've finished up today!  Let's get started, shall we?

Things have certainly gotten chillier for that dwarf we saw yesterday! The snow effect came out quite well - though I did have to brush most of it off of him when I put it on (it went on a touch too thick to start with), but this certainly gives the whole thing a feel of exceptional chilliness.

Next up we have Reaper's ShadowTalon figure - a piece that I really should have painted well before now.  But he's painted up now, and ready to show his stuff!

Now all I need is a good miniatures or superheroes game to play him in...  I wonder how long until Supersystem 4e comes out?

That's all I've got today, folks.  It'll be a heavy gaming weekend for me, so don't expect to see much for nigh-on a week - but you all know me.  If I can get something whipped up, I'll post it on here.  So stay tuned, and until next time - paint on!

He's dead, Jim

Greetings, all.  It is time once more to see what I've accomplished today.  Nothing spectacular, nothing grand.  Not even anything living (well, OK, nothing representing anything living) - I give you the 90% finished Dead Dwarf from Stonehaven Miniatures:

I say this figure is at 90% because when I finished up with him...  I decided that he would be rather fitting to put on a snowy base.  I've whipped the base up (1" wooden disc with Citadel snow technical paint), and tomorrow - after that dries - I'm going to glue the figure on, lightly wet the figure with a light glue mix (basically 10% adhesive, just enough to get it to stick unevenly), the sprinkle on some Baking Soda to make it look like the fellow died after a deep freeze followed by a light snowfall (which should let the colors show through).  Tune in tomorrow, and you'll see how it turns out.

And that's really pretty much it from me today.  Who knows what tomorrow brings - and until it comes, paint on!
