Back to the Thralls

OK!  Let's get started with the second unit of Thralls.

I don't remember what these weapons are called, but they are a little easier to deal with than the first squad.

Part of that has to do with the ease of getting the brush into various areas, since they only have the one arm engaged with the weapon.

Much more to come!  Stay tuned...

The green tide continues

You have seen the Great Blue Horde... but now a new threat emerges.  Green coats!

Yes, more of the Green Hornets.

A handful remain, but once more, you will see a group shot of all of them together.

I really don't want to have to be the infantry walking behind these guys.

I still wish I could have kept a bunch of these horses for making LOTR conversions. :-)

Stay tuned!!

From the Warp

One final group shot!

These encompass all of the Vestals and characters.

You can also see a variety of weapon options, such as the shard net...

And the Agonizer as well...

Leaping out from the Warp Gate

Asharah leads her coven...

When these girls show up, the lights go dark.

I do have another set of these figures, which I will probably paint up in a very different color scheme.  Those will make some very fun side by side comparison shots!

The final hours of the Raging Heroes kickstarter are counting down!  Not much time left!

Time to pick up some passengers

Just when you thought the Battle Train was the only thing cruising the rails of the West, we find out that you don't need a gun to head to the sunset!

This is Lathan's first test cut of the passenger train locomotive.  There are a number of modifications, primarily the pilot cabin and the cow catcher.

However, there are still many areas to place civilians or the occasional guard!

All aboard the Casino Express!

Yes, I did mention once or twice that this is a passenger train.

Here is the first passenger style car that was engineered.  It's a way for the well to do of Wappelville to travel in style!  

Even larger cars are in the works, but this one is mighty fine!

First class all the way!  Look at all that prime styling!!

This will give you a sense of size.  It's longer and sleeker than it's more heavily armed and armored cousin.

I am hoping to have some more finished shots of the Battle Train next week, complete with some miniatures to set the scene!  Stay tuned!

The storm rages

One more individual Vestal before the group shots!

The group shots will show some of the various weapon options that are available in the five figure box set.

Stay tuned!!!

Perched on The Edge

We continue with the Grand Experiment!

This picture gives you an idea of what will be standing on this base... that lovely figure from Awaken Realms "The Edge" line of miniatures.

All of a sudden, that base and plinth looks a lot less huge. :-)

Ah ye, another favorite from Secret Weapon Miniatures.  These come in several sizes, which is fantastic for scaling up from space marine to dreadnought, or if you need to work in a larger scale all together, such as 54 or 75mm.

Shell casings placed.

I continued the broken blocks onto the edge of the plinth for a bit of aesthetics and to help lock the upper section in place!

Normally I would have brought out the oxide paste sooner, but for this experiment/demonstration, it flowed a little better.

As many of you know, I use the oxide paste to fill large gaps, and to strengthen parts of the base.  For instance, a lot of paste is applied to the underside of the overhang.  This will keep it from breaking or cracking.

The ballast and gravel add texture, and additional strength.  I have a number of articles in the basing section to show the pattern and sequence with which I apply the various sizes.

Here's that sneak peek at the miniature.  I am still working out color schemes for it.  

This is one of those pieces that will decide all those questions when paint is applied.  Many changes will likely be made throughout the shaded basecoat process.

Such ability to explore, alter, and rework is yet another attribute of the shaded basecoat technique.

Where did they go?

Hmm... looks like I forgot to post these images!  I think it all got lost in the insanity that was Adepticon.

That is, the entire first 3 months of this year.

So here it is... 27 cavalry!

I thought these were posted, but I can't seem to find the post anywhere.  If it is a repeat, my apologies!

To be honest, there was so much work on all these guys, I think they deserve a second go around!!
