Mecha-Zombies

Today marked the start of Painting Day from Games and Gears. I joined their group, as I pledged for their new brushes on Kickstarter. Every Sunday, they’re trying to get folks to paint and post pics. Since I enjoy doing that anyhow…

These are the aforementioned cyberzombies: the Mechanithralls, grunt units for my Cryxian army in Warmachine. They run up, start wailing with two power fists, and can be easily resurrected by the right units (coming soon). As they’re a bit disposable in game, I felt like painting them a bit rough.

Also, the new commission begins! Zombicide round two! The figures look to be a lot of fun. I’m starting with the Moustache Pack.

The Ladies

And my unit of Satyxis Raiders is complete. I’m very pleased with the ladies.

I had always heard that painting up units was a soul-crushing experience, and at first it felt like that. I believe it was more an issue of I didn’t have a good color-scheme in mind. When you’re not sure how you’re going to paint them, and there are six in front of you instead of just one, it’s daunting.

This is the group leader. While I enjoyed the addition of her hood, and especially her more extensive horns, her chain bugged me. It attaches on at the front, and I’m still concerned on how the glue will hold up. It was too thin to drill, so we’ll see how it manages over time.

One more. I enjoyed playing with the gradient colors on the horns.

This was my favorite sculpt out of the group. Her pose reminds me of a friend who dances.

The snow bases were designed by Micro Art Studio.

Leviathan Warjack

Progress! I’m still happy with how things are going on the painting front. I’ve been pretty focused with the work over the past few weeks – a good sign for those hobbies that sometimes disappear on me. I’m sure those extra miniatures I’ve bought lately have nothing to do with it. =)

Tried a new thing after watching one of the pros. A palette pad. I ordered it from Blick’s, and it’s been sitting there lonely for the past month. Finally decided to give it a shot.

Palette

While I haven’t fully accepted it for mixing of my paint (you can see my normal mixer on the left), it was nice to test out some color transitions. I’m starting to grasp the whole warm / cool colors deal. Might explain how I can have ten different versions of brown on my stand.

Finished work for the moment is the Cryx Crab Jack kit. It’s a plastic warjack kit that lets you build one of three different jacks, the Harrower, the Desecrator, and the Leviathan. I was leery at first, but magnetizing the arms worked out well. (No basing yet, but it’s on the list.)

Two sets of Cryxian units are nearly complete. Hopefully that will be my post for next weekend.
