What are you working on today?

[wolfie907]

seems alittle ocd

[Sjeng]

hell no. I want to keep my game stuff safe. The box had no inserts at all, just brown boxes. Zombicide needs inserts, and these work great. Plus, I can have them produced by a company in 3mm wood, and make some money from the sales.

I need fimir heads for my savage orcs

Sculpt them, for god's sake. Green stuff. Make an egg, put it onto a neck and shape the head, then dent in the jawline or make the lower jaw afterwards if the snout is open. It's way easier than I imagined, and I've managed to roughly sculpt them and put them onto the minis, some with snouts open, some shut.
Now for cutting, pressing, filing details and setting in eyeballs, teeth, and tongue. That last part makes me a tad nervous.
Also, tails. Don't know yet how I'll make them look but I'm thinking smooth and expressly non-lizardlike, slightly disgusting and painted off-skincolor with a gloss varnish.

I hate that word. Lizardlike.
To say Fimir are lizardlike is like saying the Dutch are humanlike. Heheh... couldn't resist.

Strong glue and a little bit of force

This is a nice minotaur figure. He seems to fit just right in that base, doesn't he?
I wouldn't be surprised if he could attack heroes standing two squares over.


I've finally gotten my hands on some warhammer ogres.
I've painted one up yesterday/today and here he is:

I've seen many people using this blueish-greenish effect in their metal parts.
I really like it, and that's why I did this myself, but I can't figure out what the hell it is. I mean it's not rust, it's not dirt, blood or whatever, so what the fraggle is it?
What happens to metal that makes it turn blue?

[knightkrawler]

It's verdigris patina and happens to brass, bronze, and copper, Correct me if I'm wrong.
There are a number of paints that can make a nice effect.
I've used Citadel Nihilakh Oxide on my Gargoyle (in my gallery) and Ral Partha Dark Green Ink on the first version which also looked good.

You can reach the effect with any light blue/green/turquoise/one of those mixed with white you like, e.g. Citadel Skink Blue or Sybarite Green.
Thin the paint down considerably and use it as an aimed wash/shade in the recesses.

He paints EYES on the ogre. Bleedin' EYES!!!
My ogres have shade. I can't discern the eyes. -.-

I learned something today. I do recall some old statuettes I had from kinder eggs that had started to turn this colour. It was weird, I blocked it out until now. Still, it's a nice effect even if I don't know what it is. I used vallejo model colour light turquoise for it. I water it down a lot and use it like a wash but in very specific spots.

Do I recall you got them second hand? Mines are second hand as well, but most of them only had a very light black spray. The eyes were still there. They are tiny though. Way smaller than a heroquest barbarian's eyes. Need a very fine brush to paint them white and a finer brush (and some lucky strokes) to paint the black pupil.

I think I finally printed or saved every quest on this site. Big thanks to everyone for their passion.
