So I've backed the first Myth kickstarter.
And over a year ago I received my pledge and got painting.
It truely is a wonderful game. It really struck a cord with my gaming group, which consist more of RPG'ers the miniature gamers. The co-operative nature of the game really suits us.
The models are lovely. The material isn't great (restic) and some of the details are a bit soft, but nothing a paintbrush can't fix.
The sculpts a just great. There's some very outlandish models there ( most of them still waiting to be painted. Wait till I get out the elementals and cyclopses), with a very cartoony vibe, that I really dig.
So, on to what this year yielded me:
Grubbers. I've painted plenty of orcs in my time and wanted something different for these. Therefor I went for a really bright, cartoony green.
Muckers, the grubber captaints.
Orcneas, Master of Masters. The grubber boss. This one was a blast to paint.
The Grubber spawnpoint, front and back
Crawlers. These turnes out darker then I aimed, but I think it's for the best. Wasn't to keen on these models, but they really came to life during painting.
Crawler captains. Everyone needs some giant scorpions.
And their spawnpoint
The Terror with a 1.000 legs, crawler Boss. I love this one.
Undead. I painted these in one day. Not crazy about how they turned out. They didn't take drybrushing that well. Did get me in the painting mood again, though.
Undead Captains, Soulless. These I like. Love the contrast between the green smoke and red cloaks.
Maybe should've shaded the cloak with green instead of purple, but oh well...
Undead spawnpoint
Bones, one of my favourite models of the bunch. I just love this design.
On To the heroes:
Acolytes
Archers
Soldiers, The female is quite the conversion. She used to be a ferretlady. I gave her a new head, hair and some shiny boots. I got rid of her bodyhair and tail. Pretty pleased with the conversion.
The male had cartoony, spindly arms. I did like it, but prefered some more realistic looks, so I gave him some chainmail sleeves. A bit to thick, but from a distance it looks okay.
Apprentice (wizard). This is the first non caucasian model I ever painted. I think it turned out well
And the brigand rounds out my base game heroes, and production of the last years.
I had quite a productive year, painting almost a 100 models. They are really fun to paint, with the right ammount of detail to make them interesting, but not so much you get overwhelmed.
Which is good, because this is only half of my original pledge and the next kickstarter should arrive later this year.
