Greater Mutant Scorpion (aka my GW Contrast paint fail)

I like it a lot!

One more critter checked off the Dangerous Creatures table. Similar I used a very simple technique to knock these models out rather quickly. This time, rather than using Contrast paints, I used multiple coats of washes: GW's Drakenhof Nightshade for the body and a Nuln Oil for the wings.

Very effective. I like that your basing is always crisp, detailed and consistent across your entire range of miniatures.

Great progress on the chart... and great brushwork as usual! Giant mosquitoes creep me out for sure!

These look amazing. They also sell tar pits/pools and a river of tar.

@Synrinx0: Thanks. All of my warband models and some of my critter models are mounted on Micro Arts Studio's Highway bases. Most of my critters are based on standard rounds that I add scenic bits to. Two of the Big Skeeter bases were identical, so I added to one of them some extra bottles.

Experience has taught me that mounting models on flying bases almost always ends in disaster with the plastic insert snapping off inside the model. To prevent this, the Big Skeeters are connected to their flying bases with magnets.

@Chimpfoot: The models are Waspquitos, made by Heresy Miniatures. They are intended to be horrific combination of wasp and mosquito. If you look at the tail end of the model you will see that it ends in a stinger. I painted the stinger like just another body segment.

Heresy Miniatures also makes the giant scorpion, gnash worms, and giant ticks that I painted for this project.

Heresy Miniatures makes some excellent miniatures and has always provided me with great customer service. I highly recommend them.

Eight Rad Zombies and three Irradiators ready for primer and paint.

Much of my "hobby time" has been consumed other projects, but I finally got back to my painting table long enough to put some paint on the Terror Turkey.

The model is made by Bear's Head Miniatures. Bear's Head named it a Terror Turkey, but to me it looks like a Cenozoic era Terror Bird with the tail of a Mesozoic microraptor. I changed the model's tail so it looks more like it's namesake. I emphasized the turkey aspect even more by using photos of wild turkeys to serve as a rough guide for how I painted it.

Ruleswise, the Terror Turkey will be a Mutant Horror with the Big and Crushing Claws mutations. the latter is intended to replicate the attack caused by its massive beak. I suppose I could replace Crushing Claws with the Wings mutation, but it's wings are pretty wimpy, so my Terror Turkey will be a flightless avian.

The Terror Turkey is ace.

Brilliant work! Makes me think of old school, classic Gamma World.

Yup. Back in the day I played through that Gamma World module.

Interloper Miniatures sells miniatures that look like they leapt from the pages of Famine in Far-Go.

Great looking terror. Definitely not a turkey you want to bring home for thanksgiving.

On Saturday, my 'Battlefield in a Box' Toxic River arrived in the mail.

I don't own any of GF9's river sets, so I can't compare the quality of the toxic river pieces to GF9's other products, but these pieces have some good weight to them and they look and feel fairly durable. The paint job is quite good and the each piece has a matte finish, which even though it's supposed to be "goo", I prefer.

The set is bit spendy, but the shipping was free, it arrived fairly quickly, and the set includes enough river pieces to make a six feet of river. Overall, I feel like I got my money's worth.

Now it's time to get to work on some post-apoc bridges.

Ok. You talked me into a set.

As luck would have it, they were on sale at Miniature Market today. It was an omen.
