What a cool figure, love to see some zombie action going down!

Nice paint job.

TWD is a useful set of rules.

Just caught up with this thread, I love your use of bright colours! Lovely!

[Jagannath]

Thanks folks

I'll pop a few photo of the game up once I get it done.

Nice paint job.

Is indeed - the solo rules are a great use of just odd individual models.

Just caught up with this thread, I love your use of bright colours! Lovely!

Thanks very much! I think it's a hangover of painting so much 15mm - bold and clear is the order of the day!

Evening all,

Boxed off a couple more Rogue Trader naughty boys – a drunken chap (hence the red nose) and a punken (?!) chap.









Lovely sculpts – I really like the contorted pose of the yellow suited drunk, it’s a great dynamic pose, even if it is bizarre. He’s got a cracking face too.I struggle to paint dark skin tones (they’re a bit like black – hard to highlight whilst keeping them looking dark) so I treated myself to a Foundry ‘Dark Skin’ paint triad. I rarely use ready made triads, usually just mix light and shade from a base midtone, but this one helped. Not perfect, but pretty good. His pants draw any attention away from the skintone anyway!

These are painted to vaguely tie in with the first two Rogue Trader minis down the page, and there's a couple more to come soon.

[Suber]

They are inspired, I love how you tied it all and how charming they all look.

[Ockman]

Those are some badass dudes! Great paintjobs, very characterful.

[Jagannath]

Cheers both - I’m pretty pleased with this latest run of minis.

Evening all,

If you follow me on instagram (@bladesandblastersminis) you'll have seen I've been fiddling with loads of bits recently - I bought an airbrush so inevitably most of my painting is taken up with that (I'm the same with any nw tool - or even new colour paint - until I 'get over' it).

I haven't finished much to post though, so it's good to get these two finished. More Pulp 'connversions' - a Xeno-Archaeologist and his faithful bodyguard. Easy peasy.









(Sorry I've blown these pictures out and killed the tones a bit).

I've become a bit obsessed with @bundo_kess on twitter recently (also posts on 'Sword in the Sprue Blog but doesn't update that as much) so I'm dabbling in a Pulp Sci-Fi thing with very bold basecolours, blacklining and very glossy gloss coats (think tin soldier style) which I'll start a new thread for in next few days.

[Ockman]

These are cool!

I've never used an airbrush, what's it like?

The new additions are great, especially those subtle little conversions.
The tidy brushwork tied to the simple colour schemes work really well too. 
 


Where is the monkey from, as I do not recognise it?

Thanks matey - they’re very in the spirit of the 15mm stuff I was doing - maybe a bit more Rogue Trader and a bit less Traveller.

The airbrush is really great for what I wanted it for - varnishing, basecoating, terrain etc. Because I like to leave ‘blacklining’ it’s not as useful for me as it could be, but I just wanted it for basic timesaving jobs (especially in 6mm) so I’m really pleased. I’m not a huge fan of the airbrushing ‘style’ - like lots of infinity painters do, for example -- so not pursuing that.

Thank you! I try and tie disparate groups together by always having them share a colour or two (trousers and shirt in this case, plus the glasses and shoulder pad green). Can’t take credit for the wee monkey though - he actually comes on the mini.

[Hobgoblin]

Great stuff! The faces work really well on both of those - really characterful!

The alien monkey is a terrific touch.

[Jagannath]

Thanks matey. I absolutely love Bob Myrch's sculpts - particularly the faces - I wish I could afford to commission him to sculpt a whole range!

Oh, what would you commission?
