operation MotU!

ever since late summer/early fall of last year i never knew a trip to my local gaming store
would have the CMON Battle of Eternia board game plus some Kickstarter bonuses.
i took a week to go over financial stuff and think about what i was about to do.

one week later i went all in and bought only what i truly wanted.
now to be honest i only wanted this stuff for the miniatures even though i already had
a small collection,
what bothered me was some were not scaled properly with the others and just didn't look
right on the table.


so i was able to get hold of the core game, the exclusive box Box of Power,
and the three extra factions.


like with all my fantasy miniatures and what i am in the process of doing with my pulp figures,
i want to put these guys on 1.5mm bases.
hopefully i can clip the larger figures and get them to fit on 60mm bases and for all regular ones
put them on 32mm.

with all the major faction leaders, there are foot and mounted versions of them,
but also unmounted mount figures.
so i can have Skeletor on foot, on Panthor, and also have Panthor not mounted and able to fight
alongside Skeletor in battle.

Stridor is the only mount that isn't riderless.
unless i find one on eBay and just cut Fisto off of Stridor.
which also means if i would do that i would get two so i would have Stridor and a Nightstalker
for Jitsu when he becomes available in the future.

since i have two He-Man's i will most likely paint the one with the battle axe as an
Anti-Eternia He-Man.

so looking over the pile of shame i have acquired i think i will paint them in order of the
original toy-line back in 1981 based on the characters i have.
i can paint several at a time and yet begin gaming with the ones i have painted.

so hopefully i'll have some of these done and be gaming sooner than later.

the Well of Lost Stars

 with my D&D group's campaign came to a conclusion last weekend, i needed some thing to let the one group of characters to transfer from my campaign to a fellow group member, Jon's campaign. so i thought what i could do or even use for an easy transfer. i thought i'll use a plot device to teleport the group of heroes to where the next campaign will begin. the Well of Lost Stars. the main part of this terrain piece was part of a failed 3-d print of the Stargate, from the movie of the same name. i have another piece that was printed just not as thicker, i might make it into another Well. the band of heroes investigates the Well of Lost Stars. "what could this be?" the tricky rogue, Usagi asked curiously. to make the green substance is basically some amount of paint and Elmer's glue. i took a light shade of green and mixed it in the glue, then i filled the inside area with the mixed glue and finally added a few dots of a darker green. i ran a toothpick around

operation MotU: wave 1

 so begins a great adventure.... when i bought the CMON Masters of the Universe board game i knew what i was getting myself into. but over time i didn't realize what kind of pile of shame i would have. so i thought instead of being overwhelmed with what i should paint first, i thought i'll paint what the original toy-line was back in the '80's starting with wave 1. wave 1 consists of He-Man, Man-at-Arms, Teela, Stratos, Battle Cat, Skeletor, Mer-Man, Beast Man, and Zodac.  i painted them like the original cartoon or close enough to it. Heroic Warriors He-Man is the alter ego of Prince Adam and also the twin brother of She-Ra. He-Man and his friends defend Eternia, the secrets of Castle Grayskull, and the entire universe from the evil forces of his archenemy Skeletor. Man-At-Arms is the primary title of Duncan. The role of a Man-at-Arms was to advise the ruling planetary monarch and the Royal Guard on military and police affairs. Teela is the Captain of the Royal Guard a

Grishnug and the Red Fangs (edited 3/3/24)

continuing working on my orc warband. once again i continued using the slapchop painting method just to get several more painted in a short amount time. since i am using two sets of the Wizkids orc box sets i will have multiple orcs with same armor sculpts and weapons. when i painted these guys i mainly used a red and green for any cloth on their armor. i did convert some weapons so they wouldn't look the same to another figure armed the same way. with several of them i used a lighter to some what melt and soften the plastic to either bend wrists/hands holding weapons or even clipped some weapons so they wouldn't look the same to another. the orc warband lead by the self proclaimed king of the orcs, Grishnug. which was the name of my orc hunter from back in my days of World of Warcraft. ( edit: several days after i made this post i got the rest of the Wizkids orcs finished. in all of their glory, the entire w arband. ) the orc king leads a few into battle against a huge spider
