From KyleC - Adventures - (271 pts)

Another week and some more squirrels here.. 

First up is a solid squad for my Death Guard Horus Heresy forces.. a group of 16 Breachers with an attached Apothecary to follow them around with. 

Heads, guns, shields and bases all 3D printed. Using MKiii armor as a base for them as they feel more breacher and Deathguard like. 

Airbrushed a lot to get the base layers down as well as some of the weathering. Lots of washes both from GW and Oils. 

I feel they are very good candidates for the Book Studio considering the breadth of the Horus Library from Games Workshop ATM. 

We then take a Limo over to the Fantasy Studio whereby I was tasked with our local Dungeon Master for another live game coming up. So a list of models was requested, printed, and painted up this week. Well mostly.. 

First up the tribute for the Limo. A Gorgon ready to trap any foolish adventurer who unwarily venture too close to her lair. Model by Loot Studio. I am really struggling with painting female skin these days it seems.. need to work on that some I guess.. 

The BBEG for the night.. an evil Wizard of arcane and necromantic powers.. model from Cast play. Had fun painting up the swirling magic hand...didn't put as much effort into it as I did with Vadar but I used the same principles. 

He will be very protected though.. 

Flanked by a pair of Shield Guardians ready to protect as needed. Strong and unmoving until set loose! Models free on MyMiniFactory. 

A chain demon pulled from Loot Studios. I figured since it was a demon then some weird and brighter colors would be best for him. So played around with different bright contrast colors here. Was interesting to do wet on wet with contrast paints for sure. 

The main demon needs lackies.. and these Fisherman from Andor will do nicely. Sculpts from SkullForge Models. Had to check images online to get a proper likeness to them but I think they came out well enough and quickly again thanks to washes and contrast paints. 

Another Loot Studios model but this time to represent a zombie of sorts. Felt it fit the theme alongside the Gorgon there. Went with a heavily oxidizes bronze for the metals here. And carried it through to the Wights that will flank him. 

A collection of sculpts by Beastarium. Very fragile and thin models but a lot of fun to play with some new styles like the white robes there. The oxidizes metals really helped some here for sure as before that it was a bit too samey.. 

But then the bosses biggest pet/threat.. a swamp dragon! Model is by Warp Miniatures and is resin cast. Bought 2 years ago and never touched after trying to get it assembled. 

Luckily this was a good time to assemble it. The gaps and slips on the gluing were then covered over with the mid from AK interactive. Helped to give texture but also cover the mishaps and mistakes that the model gave while assembling. 

Lots of contrasts, airbrush, and washes. Some drybrushing and layering but mostly washes of various colors..

No idea on points for this.. is it a figure? Is it a vehicle? 

All I know is that I am kind of scared of what the adventure will be come the 5th knowing what our poor characters are going to be up against! 

And then a random triple weapon pack..

Left over from the 40k walls from before.. maybe worth 1 28mm figure? I dunno.. 

I still have a few more bits for the DnD game to paint up including my character and a pet for another player.. but that is likely to be for next week. 

Seems one more studio and I can try for the Director's Chair.. might just have to give something more artful a go for the Arthouse Studio next! Let's see!

Points wise.. 

30x28mm Figures - 150 pts

3x40mm Figures - 21 pts

2x54mm Figures - 20 pts

Dragon - ??? pts

Books Studio - 20 pts

Sarah's Limo - 20 pts

Fantasy Studio - 20 pts

Total - 251 + dragon pts

In any case.. I have hit my goal for this challenge.. though still have a fair few projects ( and a few more purchases since starting ) to get through.. Let's see where this madness takes us then!

Minion MilesR: Wow what a range of minis - all superbly painted.  As for the Dragon, let me consult the Minion Book of Rules and Arbitrary Judgment:  OK section 34.69, subsection 17, paragraph 3 clearly states that dragons with fungal infections are the equivalent of a 28mm vehicle.  There you go - there is always a rule to be found.  271 points for you, Sir.
