My take on this aspect of the table top gaming experience. Not an expert just one person trying to do what he can & trying to demonstrate that anyone can do it.

Preparation for upcoming Midgard game

 


So, I never thought I would be posting pictures of rulers, but here we are! These are plastic 3d prints for the game Midgard Heroic Battles. They are nifty and easy to paint. I used a flat black Krylon black primer and then dry brushed a craft bronze paint. Then I highlighted them with a Vallejo light gold paint, but thinking that might be it, but I did not like the result. So I used a P3 Gold paint to bring out the scroll work and to paint in the recessed letters. For the 'gems' I used GW paint.

These are fresh off the painting table, once dry I will hit them with a spray varnish, most likely a semi gloss.

Getting started on the new buildings

 

So, with 13 new buildings, lots of scatter terrain and a bridge to paint I figure I better get started. I went for the low hanging fruit first, the mostly stone buildings and the all wood building. First up were the churches.

I used an assortment of craft paints, mostly shades of grey, but some taupe, tan and other muted colours added in.


The stone work was primed rattle can black with a spray dusting of grey. Then some/all of the following paints were over brushed/dry brushed and/or dabbed on to the stone work.

Final post for AHPC XVI

 So, this is it one last big gasp.


This was a big post (540 points), just enough points to pass my 2000 point target. I am quite happy to get this lot done, especially the AQMF tanks that more than double my existing painted tanks.

Third post to the challenge

 


So, a bit of a low output week given how much stuff I have teetering on the brink of being done. As usual I got distracted by other activities and other projects. For instance, the 7 'Egyptian' cultists were only started the day before my posting date. They impacted my ability to finish off some other miniatures. 

HERE is the link to the post.
