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.

legion of undead

still plugging away at the mess of undead miniatures i still have. these skeletons are from the Undead Encounter pack from Mantic Games. i went with a simple color scheme, i didn't want to spend a lot of time on them. the so called leader of the group. with the simple color and shading these came out nicely. i might go back and retouch the eyes, maybe add a green glow or redness in the eye sockets. rest of the group. way these came out i might purchase another pack of these, add more to the more ranks. Beholder Zombie. this fellow was fun to paint. cannot wait to unleash this on my D&D group. (insert evil laugh here) Crawling Claws. wanted to make some low CR creatures for this weekend's game, and since the group is heading to a den of evil what better way than this. made from dismembered hands from an old GW zombie plastic set. last year i came across some board games called Dark World, and the miniatures were pretty cool to use elsewhere in my table top games. so i used t...

for the Lord of Wolf, for Russ!

ever since my last game of 40k Kill Team with my buddy Jayson, i've been thinking on a second team for the game. lots of ideas were swirling in my head. and i narrowed it down to the faction i always wanted ever since i first started playing 40k back in 2nd edition. the honorable and ferocious Space Wolves. with all the new material coming out for 9th edition and what has been out already i have to say i am disappointed on how much character the new Primaris space marines lack. i mean yeah there's the upgrade packs you could get but still there isn't much to separate one group of Primaris marines from another of a different chapter except shoulder pads. so deciding on this i went with the classic look of the Space Wolves. but with that also there is only a few units and not much i can use if i do a non-Primaris Kill Team. and with these marine i also tried the Citadel Colour Contrast paints. and i have to say i like them very much. very easy...
