She's such an Angel (WIP images)


Some of you might remember from a while back that I posted a bunch of images of a very unusual item.  It was a pretty insane kit bashing of a vehicle for our Inquisitor Role Playing group.

John and Larry donated lots of resin and plastic pieces for this insanity.

This is how the vehicle looked when we played our last game with it... I never got to finish the painting.  Just get it looking adequate enough to play with :-)


This is the vehicle our retinue traveled in, and also fought.  It could fly and hover, courtesy of some Xenos tech hidden within the hull.


Inside the hull were some other 'modifications', such as the distillery and the wine cellar.  Shells and missiles were just as likely to be filled with such fine aperitifs as they were with high explosives.

In fact, some frequently counted as both, depending on what ingredients were available.


The open area aft of the main gun was used as a driving rage by Colonel 'Zeke', as he was called.  More on his story in a later post.


Lots of engines, and an expanded living quarters!


Of course, no Inquisition vehicle worth its salt is without a massive, mutant-exterminating titan missile launcher!!!


I have more close ups of this coming soon!  This particular vehicle is now part of the I.G. wing of the new army alliance I am building with the Sisters of the Raven.  The icon also appears on the new Secret Weapon vehicles I have painted.


Hey, look, the Render Monster is rendering... again.  Soon it will have a buddy.

How do you Respond?


More of the Response Team from Armorcast :-)


It's been so long... I still don't remember painting these guys!  I think they were fun, though...


Some very unusual stuff!


OK, these flying saucers were painted a few years ago during my Battlefleet Gothic heyday. 

The request was to paint them with a Vorlon-esque color scheme that made it look like the hulls were 'alive' with patterns.


It took a while to hash it all out, but it was interesting in the end. :-)

First Responders


A few years ago I painted something called a Response Team for Armorcast.  Sort of a SWAT team tribute. :-)  I had forgotten all about them, and ran across the images earlier this week.

In fact, 90% of the pictures had not even been processed!  So, you are seeing them for the first tine along with me...


The irony is, I have been talking a lot about subjects for post kickstarter videos.  Painting White and painting Black would be chief among them, since I am asked so frequently about those!

So, stay tuned, since there is more to come!


The Great Wall of Wappleville


I realized that I never took pictures of the finished fortifications!

This is the set that I constructed for the Walls and Towers terrain video.  It represents only a portion of the entire set and the first experimental walls.


It was nice to finally get some paint on them, however, so that everything matched.


The complete set covers a very large section of a gaming table, but it is modular, with lots of corner and straight pieces, as well as bunkers and pillboxes.


Looks like somebody wants to call them home!


While it is neat to see the terrain painted, there is nothing like having the figures with it!!


It gives everything that little extra touch of drama!

A working group...


Time for some group shots!!!


All six of them together at last :-)


There was a variety of poses, I have to say that...


Very interesting.  Apparently Mercs has done a Kickstarter with fantasy minis.


If you are going to paint these, you will have to have some good metal files.  I needed to reinforce some details that way.


Kickin' it!


Last Merc Standing


Squad member #6.  Very unusual minis, to say the least.


Anyway, back to work!!!
