Title: pacarat's GA island adventure begins...
Post by: pacarat on November 17, 2017, 05:22:31 AM
Going to keep track of my Ghost Archipelago related miniatures work here. I'll do a separate thread for any GA specific terrain.

Have the rules, and a bunch of figs in the queue. Didn't get any of the Nickstarter minis, because I have plenty of stuff already hanging around unpainted. I'm also trying to select stuff that will do double or triple duty - pulp, lost worlds, etc.

First up, some almost finished saurian warriors, which I can use as tribals:

Next up, some random crewmen, and in front a couple of figs I will use for Dricheans:

More tribals:

And a heritor/warden and crewman:

Bravo.

I'm pretty happy with how it works. Anything with a slotta base now gets this treatment. It took several attempts to find something to work... blue tack kept separating, then I tried large wire clips with brads at a 45 degree angle. Finally hit on this when I picked up a plano storage box at a thrift store - it had like a bazillion of these rubber bands in it.

So, I have several lifetimes supply, or until I run out of minis to paint...yeah, that's it.  ;-)

Thanks!

Those look awesome!  :o

I echo the salute to the ingenuity of attaching the figs to the corks. But the Saurians weren't cork-worthy? They got relegated to the old popsicle sticks?  lol

Sigh...the slotta base. There is a special place in gaming Hell reserved for the person who foisted that upon the gaming world...!  ;D

I could do corks for the ones with regular bases, but dont have that many corks on hand.

Like to know the saurian's origin as well. And who makes the "more tribals"?

All minis with splendid brush-work!

The tribals are from blackcat bases.

The saurians are primal dawn ugg spearmen.

I remember a thread, wehn blackcat bases was not so good viewed at (was ist around 2015 or somehthing) ... they had some problems sending stuff, if I recall it right. That still the case in 2017?

However! Thanks for the reply! They really look fantastic to me!

Thanks.

Yes, there was a time when they had serious delivery and communication problems. I waited well over a year to get my order.

Would like to get a few more things from them, but am hesitant. Not sure how how reliable they have been lately.
