I can barely (pun) contain myself in telling you how much I love this model from DeeZee miniatures. If you have seen the movie "Prey" on Hulu then you will understand what a brute this model brings to the table, unless of course your the Predator with all kinds of cheating gadgets on you.
Another step closer to having my models finished and able to playtest the game before my local club convention.
Finished one of four Woolly Mammoths for my upcoming convention game. Pretty happy with the outcome. Here are a few shots.
I've knocked out another 27 figures for the game I am going to throw at our local convention coming up in March. I have the animals and settlements to paint up, otherwise I've got everything ready to go. I should get this done in time to have a couple of practice games so I know what I am actually doing at the convention.
The first few figures shown are from Lucid Eye, and the rest are from North Star.

So a few weeks ago I saw an article about a ruleset called "Tribal" on a blogger post I follow I Live With Cats . I was instantly hooked, ordered the rules and some minis and they came a week ago Friday. I got working on them this past Monday and realized as I read the rules through the week I would need more figures. So I ordered another batch of about 30 so I can have two sides. I ordered some tribal huts and Mammoths from Steve Barber Miniatures but they had to wait till they got their metal supply in to cast them. So hopefully I will get them soon. My plan is to have everything painted before the end of February and get in a couple of play test games so I can run a Mammoth hunt scenario at our Club Convention in the middle of March.
Will see how that goes. In the meantime here are the first 25 figures I've completed this week (That's right mark, a whole week before YOU said I would get them done!!!).
For some reason I thought they'd be a lot easier to paint, I was wrong! There was a lot more going on with them than I thought. These are really super nice sculpts I got from North Star.

So while I painted a few figures for my non painting friend, I made time to paint a few for me. The satisfaction of completing a figure is only enhanced when you know it's just for you.
I fell in love with the special edition of the Fiddler miniature a long time ago but have never been able to get my hands on one. Fortunately a brand new release came out for Fiddler for the game Infinity and I just had to get it.
I love the smell of Napalm in the morning!
Fiddler is an Ariadne activist engineer welcomed by the Nomad Nation who needs to fight in the HexaDome with her Jackbots to fulfill a dream.
So I finished the rest of my friends figures from the Legendary Bahadurs expansion. There are four figures and I posted about one of those figures (Oberon) last post. These three figures (Shona Carano, Koorie Queen, and the Final Boss) took me a few more days to finish. I am pretty pleased with them, a good table top standard, and I know my friend will like them.
Here is a little quick copy and paste write up of each and their pics....
SHONA CARANO Weapon teacher and living legend
The audience ratings of the primal show Yajurveda dramatically dropped at the start of the fourth season. Vissiorama gathered all their brilliant minds to seek a solution. After some deliberation, the executive management of programming approved Jake Wilson plan, an ambitious young man who was the deputy director of Maya’s marketing department. Wilson offered himself as the executor of the operation and straw man, so that Vissiorama’s reputation wouldn’t be affected in case something went wrong.
Wilson gathered and studied the profile of several candidates whose common traits were youth, good physical condition, combat experience, and the mastery of some exotic weapon. He also valued the existence of moral principles that were easily manipulated. After an exhaustive screening process and a subsequent rejection of the first candidates, it was the turn of a neoterran fencing champion, Shona Carano, who didn’t hide her involvement with a pro-human movement that denounced the labor invasion of synthetics in various areas of the society, as well as in several Maya shows.
Jake Wilson, pretending to be an activist from another anti-synthetic group, contacted Shona to help them disrupt a Yajurveda battle. The plan was to sneak her in one of the shows, where she would defeat the synthetics before the cameras, and this way, demonstrate the superiority of humanity.
