Masters of The Universe Battleground. (She-Ra and Swiftwind, page4)

[The Voivod]

I'm currently in possesion of the entire range as it's been released. I wasn't planning on another game, but the draw of having these characters that I so love as a kid, but had just a small collection, of was too big.
I do think I have the most important characters for now.

The models had been sitting there for a while, as I had another project to finish first. I got side-tracked with painting all the scenery in the starter set. Now I can finally sit down and start on this project.
Like many, I am going for the comic/cartoon look with NMM. Something I started experimenting with with Marvel Crisis protocol and I don't really have the hang of yet.
But rather than going for perfection, I'm aiming at enjoying this trip down memory lane.
I have He-man and the convention special with Battlecat painted and ready. Skeletor and Panthor ar primed and ready for some paint. Hoping to finish some more before the end of the year

[Malebolgia]

Woohoo for MOTU! Cool stuff man, really liking what you're doing with these. Can't wait to see more!

[Golgotha]

Love that Battlecat mini - epic pose.

[Pattus Magnus]

I love how you did the ‘helmet’ on the battle cat - it totally gives the impression that the old plastic toy had!

[The Voivod]

Thanks.

I finally finished Skeletor and Panthor. I probably could've done better on these, but as these are my only 2 mini's thus far this year (and I started on them before christmas) I decided "good enough".

I really want to make a dent in my plastic pile this year and I already am planning on buying the Hordak expansion as well, so I need to stop at some point. Still not bad, I think. They'll look cool on the board, once they're all painted up and I am looking forward to painting single characters. Orko already has some of the basecoats applied.

Niyaah...

They look spiffing, old boy! 

13 more to go, right?

Having them painted will no doubt improve our gaming experience 

[Malebolgia]

Very cool! We should do a MOTUB sesstion at Poldercon eh

[The Voivod]

Sounds good to me.
I need to step up my painting speed for sure.

Good you mentioned it. It had me check and I hadn't seen it was cofirmed for the 21st of may

It's been a while since I took pics, but I have been busy.
Kinda in a groove right now. A little less this week due to a kids birthday, but I am slowy getting through my collection.
Unfortunatly this has eroded my impulse controll and had me order wave 3 as well.
I'm just having fun with these bright colours. Hope I keep it up.I'm planning on painting more than just masters of the universe this year.

Orko was painted in just one afternoon which was amazingly refreshing. I love the design of this character. It's goofy and playfull, but I feel it's just hits some undefined sweetspot.



Man-at-Arms.
Man, I wanted this figure as a kid, but I just never got around to owning a lot of MotU as a kid.
It was a great model to paint. All those bright colours. I tried to make sure they didn't clash to much. Meaning I used the blue (which i had already mixed with white) as a shade for the green, the green as a shade for the orange and used the same yellow as a highlight for the orange and green. I really love hoe the mace turned out.



Beastman.
I honestly didn't really like painting his fur. The yellow highlights where a bit of a ^$&2.
Apart from that he was fun. I like the pose and the blue pops.



Sorceress
Time for the ladies. She looks a bit cross eyed. Can't get it fixed and you don'd see it unless you really get close.
I'm very pleased with the white. It looks as clean as it should. The rest of the colours pop as well.
I love the model and the pose and I just think it looks striking in colour. Perhaps my favorite so far.



Teela
Always one of my favorite characters as a kid. I have a thing for warrior woman, starting at a very young age I guess. 
There was a bit of a disconnect in my head when I saw the model, as it is way more based on the toy than the cartoon and those two itterations have some big differences in design. The cartoon version has more of a brownish tint to it's armour which, in the toy, came back more in the snake armour than the rest of the costume. I wanted both to be represented so I compromised a bit and painted the top of her armour in brown, highlighting with orange.
Also pretty sure I figured out why she wasn't in the core box as I am now painting Evil-Lyn. Both have exactly the same armour. Obviously based on the toys, where they wanted to limit the ammount of expensive moulds they needed to make.
This might feel a bit weird, coming in the same box of mini's, even if it is the right choice for the model design

[Golgotha]

Great additions especially like Teela.

[BeneathALeadMountain]

Awesome work sir. Your colours are perfect - I briefly felt young and carefree again looking at them 

I wish I had an excuse to buy them!

[DivisMal]

Love your thread! Nice, fresh colors and lots of fun! 

[Malebolgia]

Excellent additions. Nice contrasts with the popping highlights. Have you seen wave 4?



On order somewhere this month...€39 for the box, a steal IMO!

[BeneathALeadMountain]

If you’re U.K. based you can currently pre-order wave 4 for a mere £27 from Northstar (check the bargains tab)
