Cracking open a Tecate* to enjoy this thread.

*And by Tecate I mean a tumbler of Hell Water.

Mantic have an unboxing video for the KS edition on their YouTube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMuErCiJkuc&feature=youtu.be

There is at least one more on YouTube, though the only difference appears to be in the relative intelligibility of the presenters' accents.

I so wish that some of these Kickstarters had a miniatures only option.

This one pretty much had that option :)
You could buy resin versions of all the playable characters and most of the major villains, no resin versions of the goons though.

I backed out of this kickstarter, though I'll probably pick it up from retail, especially if I can find it on sale, or discounted due to shipping damage.

I backed Monoliths Batman game last year (just the basic set) for the minatures. It comes to around $1 per miniature, possibly less if anyone is interested in buying the boardgame bits.

There are a lot of miniatures there.

So have you painted them all yet (you may reply "Have you finished Here's Negan!" yet ^__^).

I guess they will...this might be the big hit Mantic has been waiting for—if the quality is right . I still marvel at how they got the license.

Couple fo weeks to wait in the UK but have just received Batman so that will keep me more than busy - overwhelming content

Post by: DivisMal on April 15, 2019, 07:33:48 PM
I just got mine, rather surprisingly quick, and just fetched it from the Post Office....awesome sculpts. I’m really stunned, and as far as I can see, mostly consistent and useable for tabletop wargames! Now if only Batman will be fitting scalewise. :-*

Anyway, I’m totally stunned and really like what I saw!

We can only hope the game itself is better than the film appears to be.

Post by: Tactalvanic on April 16, 2019, 10:20:20 AM
I have mine  :)

It looks glorious

My better half looks at me a bit oddly accordingly.

Look forward to giving it a game or to soon I hope!

Please tell us how it plays. The rules read quite nice for beer and brezel gaming. What astonished me was that you are not allowed (or strongly discouraged) to look through the story decks. They even went so far to put every adventure sert of cards into its own seperate plastic pack.

And you can play it solo. Which sounds great!

Testing a very quick painting method on the Monster Frogs, there's a lot of them to be done

Great Abe and Frog monster - What palette did you use for the frog
Title: Re: Hellboy - The Board Game - Painting Log (Apr 23 - First Minis)
Post by: Treebeard on April 23, 2019, 12:58:50 PM
Thanks guys,

Regarding the Frog's skin painting process :

I did a basecoat with Vallejo 70.830 (German Fieldgrey WWII)
I quickly highlighted with 2/3 Vallejo 70.830 and 1/3 Vallejo 70989 (Sky Grey)
I washed with a 50/50 Citadel Agrax Earthshade / Nuln Oil
Then a Glaze of Citadel Waywatcher Green (applying with different intensity to have different levels of Greenish)
Then some highlight with Casandora Yellow shade from Citadel (again with different intensity)

Looking good. I'm very tempted by this, but I'd only want buy to ks box which currently isn't available from my usual suppliers.

Continue some fast painting on some frogs. I can't say I'm totally satisfied with the result but if I want to bring that many on the table in a limited amount of time this is the way to go.

Work in progress on Lobster bust. I probably didn't pick the easiest one to try :p
