Huron warrior and an Atlas from the Battletech world to on the completed shelf.

Overwhelmed and a little burned out from painting other peeps minis, I am all over the place on what I really want to focus on for me. I think I am going to finish my Huron's as I only have five figures to go. Then I will finish three more Kell Hound Mechs to flush out my Assault lance. Then I have to work my way back to painting some more figures for "other" peoples collections. 

Below we have a Huron warrior with a warclub, and below that an Atlas Assault Mech for my Kell Hound lance. The 2nd wave of Kickstarter stuff is on it's way to me and this is probably why I am getting excited to paint some more Battletechs.

As always thanks for looking.

More Flint and Feather

 So being that these are pre contact woodland Indians I had to really think about colors. The hardest part being the warpaint and tattoos. I want colors for this to be different for each Indian, but I also want them tied together for a theme. For me it will be easier to pick out who's who on the table top since it's Indian on Indian. 

Here are my first four. I want 14 painted for each side, then after a few battles I can add more if I need to. I also have the Canoe set, and the woodland animals, and I definitely want that on the table. 

As always thanks for looking.

Flint and Feather

 I've been overwhelmed by different projects, but I got a little me time and painted up my first test Indian miniature from Crucible Crush. Their ruleset is called Flint and Feather. Haven't tried it out yet but if I turn out not to be a fan I'll use them for the ruleset Tribal. 

These miniatures are pre contact and are nicely detailed. I thought how hard is it to paint half naked dudes. Turns out pretty hard! These guys got a lot of busy details and they take a bit of patients to paint up.

As always thanks for looking.

Tribal! Part 4 CaveBear

 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.

As always thanks for looking.

Tribal! Part 3 The Woolly Mammoths rise!

 Finished one of four Woolly Mammoths for my upcoming convention game. Pretty happy with the outcome. Here are a few shots.

As always thanks for looking.

Tribal! Part 2

 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.

Chieftain

Shaman

Lucid Eye Spearmen

Lucid Eye Clubs

...and some more models from North Star

As always thanks for looking.

Tribal!

 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.

Chieftain and Hero's 

Villagers

Long Weapons

Short Weapons

Young lads throwing missiles

Though more of a challenge to paint, I still had a blast doing them.

As always thanks for looking.
