I love the new additions to the Ork horde, especially the old classics painted as Bad Moons.
That is a colour I have not seen on them before and they look great with it!
 :-* :-*

You also now have me thinking about looking up Kaiju monsters, you bad man.
 >:D ;)

Thanks. They were done in my yellow phase where I started to like yellow and even bought a yellow sofa for our TV room :) I never did paint yellow in the 'ole times, because, face it, yellow was shit at that time. lol

You could paint like 8 layers of yellow and still see the metal shining through o_o o_o New yellows from Vallejo or GW don't have this problem and suddenly, even painting Bad Moonz is fun.

Give it a try! I think, the potential of kaiju tabletop is barely understood. Privateer had (and are restarting) Monsterpocalypse, and then there's Khurasan who plans to release 3mm (?) Kaijus. I enjoyed painting them very much and look forward to a good stomp through Tokyo now! (...ach it would be great to own a miniatures company...;) )

I found some 6mm civilians

Great find, Ockman! Thank you so much. I think from the CP line, I already own some (and did pack them a couple of days ago). Are they the line formerly produced by Angel Barracks?

Superb work on the kaiju!

Thank you, sir! I tried some of the quickpaint techniques promoted in your subrecent posts on them. Indeed, sometimes one gets decent results with washes and a drybrush or two.


Btw, it was pretty late yesterday night and I’m running to a conference now, but here is my latest one: Baragon, one of the lesser known kaijus from the Godzilla-Mythos. I don’t even know his or her backstory.

The sculpt was again ace. Much better than many monsters sold in metal and plastic. Pictures again taken in the middle of the night with less than optimal light.

I found the time to do another kaiju over the last week. Poor shots due to bad light and the lack of a proper hobby room - my apologies for that, gentlemen.
Here is another version of big G!

Thanks guys! I love to read nice messages like these  :-*

@ Ockman: I have another couple of kaijus ready, there is King Gidorah, Rodan, Mechagodzilla 2.0 (a.k.a. Kirju) and some more, but I also have some Jaegers in the same "scale" (well they're also 3" toys, so they look pretty good next to kaijus) and the flying submarine, the Gotengo.

What I really like is that these toys don't take very long to paint, they rely on a few colors, and I really think that they could be the start of some nice tabletop bashing.

Can anyone recommend some rules?

I finished another one. Mecha-Godzilla 2.0 was an easy paintjob. Several layers of gre and lighter grays finishing with silver, wash with black, a final light brush and details. Another pretty good sculpt for a toy made of rubbery pvc.

And a scale shot with all my repainted 3“ kaijus. I kinda like the view!

Check out Mighty Monsters and Samurai Robots (two separate compatable rulesets) from Ganesha games. If you've played the Songs of Blades and Heroes games they're similar except you stat up individual limbs and body parts. So you can create kaiju/giant robots with multiple heads/limbs/tails etc with various abilities.

Edit: Oh and awesome work on the toys, had my eyes on some ultraman figures for a while for the same purpose.
