Hello Bob,
 What an inspiration! All those pics are out of this world amazing, though every mini is painted to your usual standard, it is the fantastic marble effect that really grabs me  :o; the entire temple is spectacular due to the effect.


Cheers,
 Damien

Thanks!  I'm pretty happy with how the marbling effect turned out too.  I used a faux tile piece as the base and it had a mild marble look.  Then I added brown & green splotches to enhance the effect.

This temple looks too and too cool. Wonderfully painted miniatures as well! This looks like a lot of fun. I love the pic of the priest in front of the golden idol. There is a serene if maybe morbid atmosphere to that picture.

Glad you picked up on that.  Antediluvian madness in the making!

Here is a quick pic of Drew's excellent Epic Heroes demo force used against my Kthoneans.  It's a mix of Reaper and Dark Sword figs.  Bang up job.  I will get close ups done soon. Enjoy!

Some quality stuff recently Bob! Good job on the temple! The aberrations look odd, but nicely painted. The models are almost like fantasy versions of tyranid models. Especially the grick (are they grick?) and grell (same here... grell? or just brains on crab legs? =) The ilithid looking boss guy is cracking, agree on the purple and green combo. Quality stuff!

Ha! You're way ahead. I can add 7-8 models to my tally so far this year. Lagging behind...

Wow! Time flies. It has been a busy couple of months since my last post.  We have been painting, play testing, writing rules, play testing, and painting. 

Drew & I have done some play testing of new rules for Invisibility for Epic Heroes.  Here are some snaps that will tide you over until our next big thing, which should be our 'how to' video. Keep your fingers crossed on that one.  lol

We played one game in Period 1 with an Epic Legend Level which allowed for Drew's 3 Invisible Ninjas and one visible Ninja Archer running up on the wall.  We used my True-Bolds adventuring band as the opposing force.  We then switched things up and I ran my Period 3 Cowboys up against his Invisible Ninjas.  We got some great playtest results and will definitely have them ironed out for the finished supplement. The Cowboys vs Ninjas pics were shite, so I haven't included them here.

Thanks Chuck! That would be Jagger Kilmane, Father of Sorrows.  I used the Reaper half-orc thief with the hooded head removed. I then added the Corinthian helmet from their hat/helmet sprue, and finished him off with 2 Har-Ganeth Executioner blades that I shorted.  Glad you like him.  :D

Well, here's a twist on our project.  I grabbed my scenery and Mighty Fortress from GW and then ended putting all 91 painted fantasy or fantasy compatible figures on the board. Each pic tells a story.  Here are a few, but you can see the rest at my miniatures blog Figures by Faust located here http://4sparta.blogspot.com/
