Aggro 84's Fantasy Thread - Some Finished Minis 6/7/2015 LOTS OF PICS PG19

Nice to see you back aggro!

I like the color combo of the wizard in the chair with the flesh of that thing carrying it. The demons are nice shades as well.

Keep them coming when you can!

That's cool you found the mini Mister Rab.
I remember seeing some RAFM catalogs back in the day, but I didn't remember that mini.

I've actually contacted RAFM through their Facebook page and they're having a look for the mold - just look what you've started! 

[aggro84]

Thanks Jevenkah!

Mister Rab, I was looking at a lot of old RAFM sculpts the other day.
They produced a lot of interesting miniatures.
Just be warned, they are pretty small even when compared to early slottas.
Still lovely though.

And next...
"How not to build Dungeon Tiles.
[...]
Unfortunately, I decided to cover the cardboard edges with masking tape. This process was pretty time consuming and took longer that cutting out the tiles in the first place. After I sprayed the tiles, the masking tape, shrunk and peeled in places leaving an unsightly mess.

They were only meant to be a trial run for fancy foam boards anyways. It still would have been nice if they looked half way decent though. I doubt I will bother painting them now. At least they only cost me half a can of textured spray paint as the tape and cardboard I had laying around the house.

Just stumbled over this wonderful thread ...

I would not give up and give it a try of rescueing, if You think it worth.

Cut away the parts that were sticking out too much, carefully, then use some glue and sand, spray/paint over again, maybe it will be covered enough, so it will not bother You when using the tiles for playtesting. Then paint as planned.
I just gather You have to be extra careful when using the glue on that cardboard. Maybe the already used paint will secure it a bit from soaking and therefore possible bending.

However ... awesome thread!
I very much like the rust You are painting. I am fearly comfortable with my own way, but yours look better, so I am interested, how You do it.

best wishes
DK

Thanks Drachenklinge
I did a post on a blog I put stuff on about how I use weather powders.

Hopefully that helps.

I had a very productive hobby day Saturday and finished a bunch of stuff and got a bunch of minis based.
I tried experimenting with different locations around my house for the best photo results this morning.
For what ever reason, on my dining table, with the blue candle center-piece-thingy gave me the best photo results.

I should probably just invest in a light box?

There are waaaay to many pictures to post here so here's a blog link.

Here is the painted Fantasy collection so far, not counting my plastic Skaven and Mordheim stuff.




The grey primered guys were all based yesterday. I already have some ideas for some paint schemes.


I hope you all like.

More than like aggro, we adore!

The lady spirit is a stunner.

Thanks for the weathering tips too!!

Cheers
Matt.

Fantastic! =)

What's this thing:

[DeafNala]

FANTASTIC! That is a TRULY IMPRESSIVE array of miniatures you've added to your collection. VERY WELL DONE one & all!
I haven't any idea what that Beasty is either...other than UBERCOOL AND BEAUTIFULLY painted & based that is.

[weismonsters]

This guy is awesome.

btw where is the shield from?

[Mason]

Cracking work, Aggro.
Some true beauties in there.
 

[aggro84]

Thank you Constable Bertrand!

Thanks phreedh!
I'm actually surprised an old timey miniature guy like yourself didn't recognize the Demon.
I got him (urm... her) in an eBay lot but it's an old Grenadier sculpt still available through Mirliton in the Demons section.


Thank you DeafNala! you are truly a gentleman.

Thank you weismonsters!
Its an old GW plastic shield, a little warped in the oven. 

And thank you Mason!

More excellent work Aggro: your posts are always an inspiration to me. Regarding buying a light-box: I constructed one from a shoe-box which I lined with tin foil. When taking pictures place a sheet of paper inside, pop the miniature(s) on top, illuminate with a couple of desk lamps (I appropriate some we already have in the house) with energy saving daylight bulbs (about 40w) fitted and off you go!

Who makes the model on the left here? I think I recognize it, but can't place it...

It's good to see the old Chaos Thugs getting some attention - they were some of my absolute favourite figures when I was first discovering the joys of Warhammer, and these paintjobs suit them down to the ground.

[hubbabubba]

It's an old war machine iron kingdoms mini, can't recall the name of it.

Beautifal looking figs

Looking forward to the next installment.

[Garanhir]

I really rather like those tiles.  Reminds me of The Sorcerer's Cave.
