From MattK - Necromunda, WW1 Germans, and Cavemen (125 pts)

 Rather Eclectic mix this time around.

First up, I just finished one of the forgeworld bounty hunters, Ortruum 8-8, for my Necromunda games. 


The photo doesn't show it but he has some surprising heft to him. 

I finally got back into painting historical stuff this week as well. I've had the Blood and Valor Rules, and these Wargames Atlantic Germans since their release but I just got around to putting paint on them this week. Super easy to paint and puts me one step closer to playing the game. 


Finally, I've had these figures in my collection for a year or so now and never opened them until this week. I don't know what grabbed me to do Cavemen but theres a game I missed on Kickstarter called Primevo that I'm dying to get my hands on so I figured I'd get a jump start on the figures for once. All of these were painted almost entirely with Contrast paint, which I'm definitely warming to.

Here are 4 Cavemen Characters


And two blisters worth of general Cavemen


So all together 25 x 28mm figures at 5 points a piece nets me 125 Points


That's certainly eclectic, what with over 40 millenia spanned. I do like those cavemen - hope you've got some prehistoric beasties for them to defend against!

    1. Yeah! I'm doing a write up that will go live after the 24 hours here, on my blog. Its literally just Darkoath Flesh, Snakebite Leather, and Wyldwood for most of it. I Think the sculpting style lends it self super well to it.

  7. I think there is a trick to using contrast paints and I think you've nailed it.

    1. Thanks! I agree. They aren't quite as "fire and forget" as they're sold. In particular, the flesh benefits from a layer of Panzer Aces Flesh Base to smooth out some of the more shaded areas. Either way, it only took a couple of hours for the whole batch.
