Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Mortal Gods: WIP report

Took a breather from my game designing, which is slowly moving toward being wrapped up in another week or two, to work on my Mortal Gods miniatures.

I was able to get outside in the 21 degree F weather and successfully sprayed primer on my finished Victrix builds. These are a pain in the ass. Nice models, but who the hell makes you have to glue the horse hair crests to the helmets I ask you? Just insane. I should probably just stick to buying metal models so I have minimal prep and more painting going on. But they are pretty, Victrix that is.

Here are the models on my painting dowels, left 8 are plastic Victrix, right 3 metal footsore.


Next up is my Greek Hero/Leader for the group I am painting. A metal Footsore figure and I was unsatisfied with the two weapon choices for his right arm. The way the cloak was displayed had me visualizing an entirely different way to be holding a weapon. So I glued a Victrix plastic spear to the stub of his wrist and when that dried I made up some green stuff and made a hand. I think it came out pretty good.



The last picture shows my last 6 miniatures I need to assemble, that being some Victrix Peltasts. I've clipped all the parts I need from the sprue and only need to clean them up, test fit, and glue them together. Then off to the dowels and a coating of prime.


That's a total of 18 figures (one of which you don't see in photos) for a total of 346 points. I think most Mortal God games are 300 to 350.

Well that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by and having a read and a quick glance at my project.

Cheers
Kevin
