Nova Aetas - painting the whole thing to a tight deadline

[Bloggard]

hmmm, it would take me a couple of weeks (at best) just to do the static grass and varnishing I think!
thanks for the info.

look fantastic 'in situ'.

WOW! What a collection! Amazing work!

@Bloggard: Well, i'm really, really sloppy, if that helps. I'm not huge on varnishing in general though. My own minis I don't varnish much; plastics I won't varnish in general, resin neither, metals... not all the time either.

@Andym: Oh, thanks very much. I handed them over yesterday, the meeting of the deadline was met with benevolence, and tonight the figures will see action in their first games I heard. So fingers crossed. Hope I hear how that goes.


Right, that's done now. I really enjoyed setting up the shots with the scenery, so I painted two more buildings for my late-medieval-to-20th-century/fantasy town collection:



A small half-timbered house and a heavily fortified house, all from the Thomarillion-designed/NOCH-made range of hard foam buildings. I really have a soft spot for this stuff. Possibly because I was basically raised on these:



Especially the town houses were great. So basically I'm redoing my collection from *coughcoughcough* years ago. :p Anyway, I guess that scenery stuff warrants a separate thread...

'ello. I thought it would be a somewhat justified act of necromancy as right now I got more Nova Aetas figures on the desk.


They're from the NA expansion Vesuvio's Forge:



Just a WIP of course; it's these three plus three evil cultist dudes and a scholarly looking character with a handgun.

Glad you did as I missed this thread the first time through.  Wonderful work on the entire collection!

@syrinx0: Thanks. Yar, it was quite a rush back then.

Greetings, friends.

Here's the Nova Aetas figures finished! Big figures, those. 32mm. Well, the dudes in the back are even larger of course.

Hope y'all like'em. Also: Have a great weekend. What are we all up to? I'm going to clean the flat! Wahey! Also trying to learn the ropes on that incredibly disheartening video game called Squad.
