Aggro 84's Post Apoc Thread- A few more Pacificon Pics 09/06/2013

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.

Sweet looking toys.
Your buildings look great.

[aggro84]

Thanks Marine0846!

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. 

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.

[aggro84]

Not much to update. Just a few WIPs.

Some Chinese soldiers.





And some cultists.





I was going to give them some markings to denote their jobs and/or special status within the order (like matteblackgod did); however, laziness got the better of me.

Superb work!
They look great.
Cant wait to see them when you are done.

Lovely!
 

[Anpu]

Sweet!

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?

[Sinewgrab]

He's got 28mm Pulp Figures out there - I am glad to see I am not the only one who feels the line can be used for post-apocalyptic.  Beautiful work so far, Aggro.

[aggro84]

Yep! 28mm Pulp Figures to answer Too Bo Coo's question (thanks Sinewgrab).

And thanks for all of the feedback: Mason, Anpu, Too Bo Co and Sinewgrab. 

I really should be painting more.

[Too Bo Coo]

They look fantastic, I'm just bummed since I've been on the hunt for sources of 20mm.  I have some SJM but there are not too many other sources....

Great stuff though, Cheers!

You have been busy! Those Cultists are very striking ,well done!

[mattblackgod]

Great minis. The Chinese look great. The Cultists are looking good. The nice thing is you can add ribbons of colour to the sleeves and hoods at a later date to denote ranks.

[aggro84]

Thanks inkwell and mattblackgod.

Not really. I've been working a lot.

Another great collection you have going Aggro.  I like the purple robes for the cultists.

[aggro84]

Thanks DFlynSqrl !

Glad you like them.
