Looks great! What undercoat did you use? Doesn’t look like a std grey as last time?
a fantastic quick way to get table ready figures for games John.
‘We have to be careful so we don’t break that arm when drybrushing’ – that’s ‘nother vote for metal minis.
John must have an unlimited paint budget, the way he puts big blob son the palette for 1 mini and leaves the lids open while painting.
Nice tan on that sister, btw. Dual suns ?
I would still take a resin model over metal. I prefer not having the mini bend if i happen to drop it, and even if it breaks, I’m less annoyed than when a metal model breaks as the paint tends to chip off and needs more attention after fixing it to cover over the bare metal.
My paint budget? I think I buy paint/replace existing paints maybe once every 2 years? It really depends. I don’t find leaving the lids open a problem (when filming at least, as each clip is maybe only 10-15 minutes) I wouldn’t leave a pot open for hours.
But…. you got me on the blob of paint for one mini. I got nothing to come back at you with there, that’s just me being bad haha. I could pretend i’m batch painting off camera? 😛
Aside from the odd spear or bayonet, I’ve never had any major problems with metal minis breaking.
On the flip side, a 3D-printed Rabbit Assassin broke 4 times (ear & blade) during cleanup and painting, not sure if I even want to use her in any games, she’ll probably just stay on a shelf. Maybe I’ll put her under a little glass dome, like they do with those antique porcelain dolls.
The Carnevale Gondoliere’s oar broke twice during prep, 3 layers of superglue now hold it precariously in place as a finished piece. His lady-of-the-evening girlfriend – the one with the hatchet – snapped at both legs during cleanup (btw, no, I’m not clumsy), 3 layers…see above.
Nothing bad happened to Baron von Fancyhat (Moonstone) – yet – but I’m reluctant to use him in games as well, he has a LOT of VERY thin and fragile appendages sticking out in several different directions, a disaster waiting to happen.
Wouldn’t worry if he was metal.
Haven’t painted any of my Raging Hormones, erm, Heroes figures yet, maybe they’ll fare better,, their resin seems to be somewhat more flexible.
I don’t use acrylics anymore, but when I still did, drying out was a fairly common occurrence, especially in the Citadel-type pots
Really well done, looks great.
Reminds me that I need to take a similar path to cut through the bulk of The Pile
I’m using a similar technique to burn through my Reichbusters set.
Mantic is vile and Evil when it comes to mould lines though.
Great work John! Easy to follow and understand.
