Wereness Bady

Have painted more than a few fur covered creatures in my career and decided that this werewolf, who is larger than life, needed a different approach.

Using more human flesh tones on the non furred areas I think gives it some fresh perspective of the Human to Werewolf stereotypical look. The metal base is covered with a bit of textured Kel Seal and I have yet to decide on the final colors, though I am leaning to a gritty look with some weeds etc, rather than just flocking it with green grass as has been my typical want in the past. Bit more detailing, but taking a short break from the paint grind and all that :)

RPG scenic placards update

More progress pictures ahoy!

Left shot is my grassland / forest base with a 28mm figure on it while on the right is my Arid / Desert placard for those dry locations. 

Cavern / Cave and the start of the Chasm one shortly I think, depending on press of Adventurer painting, after all, if you in a painting mind, press on with the colors!

Klanken Troopen Save the Day

A Prussian advance against a British position that was fought out recently demonstrated the power of British training with their rifles as my Prussian units were pounded time and again.

Left photo shows the Prussian advancing elements,
Klanks are on the far right. Right Photo shows the British defense prepared around the Cathederal Ruins, with highly skilled rifle units on both flanks.

Klanken Troopen on the advance. Their immediate Inafntry unit to their left was cut down by fast and accurate rifle fire while the unit nearing the trees has suffered also. Missing is the unit of British Rifles that had been holding cover to the front...5 Klanken Troopens 5 machine guns also did some good work (translates as terrific die roll!) and eliminated them!

My Prussian Right Flank forces are advancing while paying a terrible price in blood. My firing rolls on this flnak were poor to say the least but I continued to make Moral rolls and push ahead, Prussian drill training pays! The arrival of 2 British Light Tanks started the shelling of my center and damaged some of my Klanks as I moved them towards my right flank to put some of their promiscuiously firing guns to work there.

Objective carried! British center forces had been pounded by continued fire and a rather smoking, with one arm spinning randomly, Klank broke the British moral and allowed the occupation of the ruins. The British tanks and remaining Infantry withdrew in good order,

Encounter Placards for RPG action!

Having gotten tired of either a 4'x6' board to have encounters of a hand full of miniatures or a dinner table top etc, time to get some 1 foot x 1 foot tiles put together!

On the left is the floor tile and some old left over resin cast rock faces. On the right is the same tile with Kel Seal brushable caulking / textured, applied to the surface of the tile and the rock facings added in. Some sand and small pebbles have also been glued in. Planning on using some washes and while its drying to blend in splats of other dirt colors.

On the left is my Under ground Cavern encounter tile. To hurry up the process somewhat, I would cut the foam, dab some pva glue around, set in place, then lift it up and put a couple shots of hot glue under, replace the foam, pressing down. Now, while the pva is drying the hot glue held them together well enough I could move things around without having the foam pieces ..... slide around.

There is also a flat outdoor encounter placard, but its rather featureless, but I will include a finished shot of it.

Pulp Action Figure project update

Spent a few hours under the lights, paint brush flying to get these figures near to complete, figure nother couple of hours to detail them and treat the bases:

Lots of work on Faces to do, fiddly work I thinks I call it. Close up of the photo shows way to much light on the shot, washed out some colors... oh well, its a progress report!
