Title: Aggro 84's Post Apoc Thread- A few more Pacificon Pics 09/06/2013
Post by: aggro84 on January 26, 2012, 05:49:25 AM

No pictures to post, and there probably won't be for a little while.
However, I just wanted to let everybody know what great service I got from EM4 Miniatures.

I ordered approximately 30 miniatures from the Future Skirmish range, in the evening before I went to bed. In the morning I had already been sent an e-mail advising that my order had shipped!

I received the miniatures in the mail today in California after only a one week wait.
The miniatures were carefully packaged and showed up in great shape.

There were no mold lines or flash anywhere on the miniatures and they were pre-primed.

Even with shipping they were a great deal!

Did I mention There were no mold lines or flash anywhere on the miniatures ?

I am extremely pleased with the purchase and the miniatures look great!

Thanks EM4.  :)

Doug is one of the best for speedy delivery, excellent casting quality and great value all round.

Quickest I've had from him, (being UK based) orderd at 14:31 Friday pm arrived 11:45 Saturday am!  :o


Good to hear someone else say it as I end up sounding like a EM-4 sock puppet some times! ;)

Trimmed off the slottas, primed black and then high-lighted white.

Managed to cut my thumb in the process. Not badly though, no stitches needed. I'm just a little upset. I haven't had an X-Acto accident in years.

Post by: Commander Vyper on February 02, 2012, 07:29:26 AM

Use clippers rather than blade for tags mate, much safer in the long run.

Looking at your figures, I can't acutally see the benefit of your white highlight over black, its a dry brush not block, it's not zenith (ie reversed shading with thinned paints) and your paints look reasonably solid/good coverage so a little confused. Might be an additional thing that you could actually do without. The scavies could do with a little wash just to bring the shading out, but if it's still wip then all good.

Title: Re: Aggro 84's Post Apoc Thread-WIPs
Post by: aggro84 on February 02, 2012, 04:21:05 PM

Thanks Lucky Joe.

Vyper, thanks for the advice and comments.

I used clippers to remove the slottas and then an X-acto to trim and smooth the bottom of the models' feet. That was a mistake. I should have invested in a file to smooth out the bottom of the feet instead. Good advice about the clippers though. If I had not used clippers, I'd likely be missing a finger.  lol

Looking at the scavies, they could use a little more depth. I have never owned any inks before. I usually just used standard paint thinned down for washes. Maybe I should invest in a few inks? At least black and maybe a dark brown?

I prefer priming black over white because it speeds up painting not having to paint armpits and other hard to reach areas that don't really stand out much (unless they were white of course). When I primed black though, I noticed I would have to paint on several coats of certain colors for good even coverage. A quick white dry brush solves this problem and provides a cleaner top coat.

Hopefully this makes sense.  :)

Thank again for the input.

Post by: Commander Vyper on February 02, 2012, 06:46:38 PM

No need to risk digits re: slot removal, just get a load of emeryboards/nailfiles. job done.

Yup and I use black or grey as a undercoat usually, white if I want a brighter mini, also in the uk humbrol have a range of acrylic spraycans, whose brown is a spot on match for khemri brown (GW) so perfect for basecoating my 15mm GZG army.

Anyway understand your reason for the whitelight, if it works for you all good. But do get the GW washes, devlan mud and badab black are a must for you.

Best wishes

Title: Re: Aggro 84's Post Apoc Thread-WIPs
Post by: dijit on February 02, 2012, 10:53:20 PM

My solution to your problem has been the other way round, white undercoat to get the bright clean and easy to paint colours, then a black wash before I start painting, it also helps me to notice the detail and see whats what.

Vyper,
I'm supposed to drive to a game store tomorrow night for some gaming.
I'm a little short on cash right now, but I should be able to afford a couple bottles of GW ink washes like you suggested.
But then again, you never know with GW products. $$$$$$$  lol

dijit,
I'll one up you.  :)
I was thinking about priming grey, then adding white spray from up top for a zenith effect, followed by a black wash.
But then I just got cheap and lazy.  lol

Another WIP shot.

I bought some inks the other night and I've started using them on my minis.
I just picked up brown and black for starters. I did some touch up on my previous WIPs with them and they worked great.
Thanks for the tip Vyper!

Here's a few more WIP models.

The flesh tones on the middle guy could use some more depth.

Post by: aggro84 on February 11, 2012, 08:49:26 PM

Thanks Luckyjoe, Thanks Papa Spanky.

I base all of my standard sized miniatures on 1 1/4 washers.
They are dirt cheap and give a stable heavier base that plastic slottas.

If you are interesting in trying some different ink, try Winsor and Newton ink.
Nut Brown is what I use.

A lovely array of variegated rustbuckets.  They don't seem to have wheels, which suggests to me that they'd benefit from basing - either as derelicts integrated with the terrain, or on flight bases if they are supposed to be hovercars.

Post by: Marine0846 on February 26, 2012, 04:12:48 PM

Love the cars.
Don't base them, if you do different terrain,
 say city and country they would not match up.
Just my two cents, for what its worth.

Title: Re: Aggro 84's Post Apoc Thread-Marx Cars Posted 02/25/12.

So far that's

If you gander at my thread, you'll notice I have done both.  If you have enough of them, I would do that, because it gives you some that have more to them than just themselves, and others you can do whatever you want with.

Post by: aggro84 on February 28, 2012, 03:21:45 AM

Thank you all for your feedback!  :)
I really appreciate it.

So the final total is:
five = don't base
two =  base
and now two = Base some and leave some.
Sorry Papa Spanky, I only counted your vote once but I like your enthusiasm!  lol

Based off of the feedback, I think I'll base a couple and leave the rest.

Hooray! Everybody wins!!!


On another note I got a couple of playtests in with Kitrok last night and took a few photos:

Post by: aggro84 on February 29, 2012, 06:07:04 AM

 Ask and you shall receive  :)

We actually played two small games using Kitrok's MEST rules.
Available for free here:
http://sites.google.com/site/mesttactics/downloads (http://sites.google.com/site/mesttactics/downloads)

Each player had 500 points which also just happened to equate to 5 models for each player.

The first game "Supply Dump" had some flaws in the scenario (we had never tested it before). I had a huge advantage and won by a huge landslide because of it. Kitrok has already started a rewrite. The Defender had to defend objectives represented by the star symbol markers.

(http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p627/aggro84/Post%20Apoc/IMG_5277.jpg)

The next game was a common scenario we've played many times and for some reason I can't think of the name of it right now.  ;D
For set up, players basically took turns placing models no closer that 8 base sizes (and out of LOS) of enemy models, anywhere on the board. This really speeds up play and the action gets started almost immediately.

I tend to keep my models closer together so they can support one another and benefit from their Leader model(s). This can sometimes make me vulnerable to Area effect attacks like explosives.
Kitrok tends to spread his models around which leaves him vulnerable sometimes.

My barbarian princess quickly exploited the situation and took out one of his "spread out to thin models" with my Barbarian Princess.

(http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p627/aggro84/Post%20Apoc/IMG_5289.jpg)

Kitrok's most effective attack was a dynamite lob over a trailer some of my models were hiding behind:

(http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p627/aggro84/Post%20Apoc/IMG_5293.jpg)

I managed to kill his Leader which sort of sealed the deal for my victory.

(http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p627/aggro84/Post%20Apoc/IMG_5291.jpg)

Game two was a closer game, but I managed another victory.  :D

Kitrok's really looking forward to any and all feedback for his rules.
Be nice or be cruel.
One of his concerns is that people are immediately turned off by his different ways of reading dice results.

Feel free to send him an email, PM, or comment here:

The last two models are re-based repainted heroclix miniatures.

So I'm going to put in a Pulp Figures order to flesh out my Post Apoc project with some different factions.

She Wolves- (nasty symbols blurred) an Aryan cloning experiment gone wrong. They're all women!
(http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p627/aggro84/Other%20Stuff/pwm2.jpg)

Crazed Cultists- They worship the bomb!
(http://www.pulpfigures.com/catalog/pwm9.jpg)

Chinese Soldiers- Trapped behind enemy lines!
(http://www.pulpfigures.com/catalog/pyg14.jpg)

Anything else from Pulp miniatures that I can use in a Post Apoc setting, before I place my order, that might be fun?

Nice minis. I need some of those cultists for my Children of Goodness cultists (they are old OOP Babylon's Burnings minis. If I can find the pictures on my Photobucket I will post them up).

I have used a few pulp minis for my wastelands. They are a good idea for Post Apoc settings. Bolt action rifles and revolvers are a good call for a setting where ammo supplies and weapon reliability may be a issue.

Thanks for I.D.ing those Clix.

I'll place that Pulp Figures order today or tomorrow.

mattblackgod, I'd love to see your cultists.

Mason, I don't know if you read the beginning of this thread, but I was extremely impressed with EM-4's service and quality!


On another note,
how about these guys for Post-Apoc?

They may work with a weapon swap. But then the beauty of Post Apoc is anything is possible with the right background. So maybe vault dwellers with some new fangled energy weapons?

Well, I placed my Pulp Figures order a few days ago. I can't wait for them to arrive.  ;D

My work schedule has slowed things down, so I haven't posted anything in a while now.

Here's a few photos of what I've been working on. Sort of rush jobs but I just wanted to get this stuff playable.

I'll go back and add some details to the buildings (like posters and boarded up windows) later.

I'm nursing a little bit of a hangover so that's all for now!

Thank you all for the kind words.

The rocks are bits of wood I found on the beach a while back, primered black, then primered with Krylon Equestrian. Dry-brushed with sandstone paint and sandstone with some white mixed in. I then blotched on some brown and black inks here and there followed by a little more highlighting with sandstone.

Glad you all liked them.  :)

I just received my Pulp Figures today. I placed the order very late on 03/12 and I got them today!

A little flash but no mold lines! The miniatures arrived in great condition and I'm very pleased with my purchase.  :D

My only minor quibble: My warlord Chinese flag bearer didn't come with a flag pole so now I have to go buy one lousy piece of brass rod.

Quote from: Commander Vyper on February 02, 2012, 07:29:26 AM

Use clippers rather than blade for tags mate, much safer in the long run.

Looking at your figures, I can't acutally see the benefit of your white highlight over black, its a dry brush not block, it's not zenith (ie reversed shading with thinned paints) and your paints look reasonably solid/good coverage so a little confused. Might be an additional thing that you could actually do without. The scavies could do with a little wash just to bring the shading out, but if it's still wip then all good.

The Commander

It looks like a technique I picked up a few decades ago, prime black, dry brush white and then you have a bit of ready-done black lining and shading.  I haven't used this technique in a while as I've changed scales.  I think it looks best with Fantasy figs since I'm not put off by how dramatic the effect can be.

But they look great so far!

What scale are these figs?

A few new photos of my completed Pulp Figures for my Post Apoc project.

I was going to go back and do more touch up, but laziness got the better of me.  ;D

Also, after applying a matte coat, little white dots formed on some of the minis.
It was my fault really, I used the last of an old can of matte coat. It looks like I can lightly scratch the dots off though.

The Chinese really look better in person.

Scurv, the Cultists were the only models I used non-craft paints on. I had borrowed some GW and Rackham paints from a friend. I really liked the way the GW purple went on the models. I was really impressed. Maybe I should change my cheap arse ways an invest in some quality paints? Also, thanks for the W&N ink tips. I'll check them out. Up until recently I never even used inks.  :D

The mutant croc and the rat thing are both Dreamblade plastic minis.

The armoured soldiers are Prince August/ Warzone plastics. I had a few left over from my short lived WWW1 project.

Kitrok and I played what we are now calling Retropocalypse yesterday. My Chinese forces Vs. Kitrok's Cultists.

I took a bunch of photos, but I rushed them so most turned out like crap. I think I need to make some smashed up roadways and get a couple more buildings. Some lamp posts would be nice as well.

Here's a few less crap photos of the action.

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=41971.0 (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=41971.0)

I think they look pretty cool considering the minimal effort and cost.
I set up a board with the finished road pieces and WeeAggro and I got a quick game in.
As always, Wee Aggro kicked my butt!

Thanks Scurv! The space history museum sounds really cool.
I saw some pretty impressive museums in the UK.
Australia, not so much then?
We never did stat up the space chimp, so he wasn't used.  :'(

Here's an example of a few of the cards we used.

Thanks Constable Bertrand, Mason and Brummie Thug!

Scurv. I have never been to the Smithsonian either. Apparently, I need to get out more often.
The Australian National Museum sounds great.  ::)

I love your terrain collection, it is so versatile.
I can see endless options using your stuff.

That is an EXCELLENT looking board/game. There are a couple of places around here that look like that after last year's brush fires.

Thanks Mason and Deafnala.

I am hoping to add some more terrain and objective markers to this project soon.

Very nice looking game. Beautifully painted terrain. Muted colours working very well with post-apoc theme.

Nice PA terrain,  it gives a very bleak feeling.  And something different than the "scorched desert wasteland" that I usually think of in PA games.
