I finally finished the homemade Blood Rage token that I posted about a million years ago! I ended up making a 2-part mold since I added some detail on the back of it. I was a little worried since my silicone was incredibly viscous, but the details came out fine. Too bad the bottom of this cast came out hollow. I've changed the mold a bit so it should flow in there more easily.  Thing learned through all this: loving think about the order I do things in. Don't add stuff before detailing, just slap stuff, like the horns, on top of the details. Warm the silicone to room temperature to make it flow better. Keep the cats out of the room when you pour silicone. Your girlfriend WILL notice that small patch of fur you had to trim because it wanted to play with the stick you used to mix the silicone.

Cross post from the oath thread. I'm getting happy with my yellow, but I still hate painting the tartan. The token doesn't look too out of place compared to the other Blood Rage tokens, but I might end up painting them completely green with a wash and a highlight. Electric Hobo posted:Oath complete!

I painted up a couple of Confrontation minis for one of my buddies. He wanted them colorful. The skulls on the bases need a bit more work, then I'll call these done. The Executioner:      Sasia Samaris - The Rose of the Sands:

Chill la Chill posted:I'm trying here since it doesn't look like the board game thread is the right place for it: Can anyone who has played Blood Rage or other CMON games comment on how the minis scale compared to 28-32mm minis? I'm hoping the Rising Sun minis are decent enough for scale to use for KOW or frost grave, but in my experience board game minis tend to be on a ~25ish mm scale.  Mantic skeleton, Blood Rage normal guy and official Frostgrave model in front. Hordes heavy warbeast and Blood Rage big guy in the back.

Zaphod42 posted:Really digging the red-purple cloak coloring you have here, that's pretty funky and not super easy to do and it looks pretty cool and even kinda subtle.  I like it as an un-natural colorscheme, so I might go for something similar for a KoW undead army.

I have plenty of reds which is fine for a lot of applications but I need yellowish skin for these figures I want to paint in a fashionable Jojo style. I just did this guy's skin with those colors.

I like Scale 75's flesh set and Vallejo's malefic flesh set. Vallejo also have a fairy flesh set, but I have tried it or looked that closely at it. Scale 75's is normal human skin, while Vallejo's are for fantasy races. Pretty much all models I post here have skin made with Scale 75 paints.

My boy, Mortibris, is ready to command my Kings of War skeleton army. If I ever get around to making it, that is. I think I'll enter this one in Mantic's current painting competition, because why the hell not? Just noticed that I forgot to add a little color to his lips, so I'll do that first.

berzerkmonkey posted:Hm. Weird. ijyt posted:Weird, negro is spanish for black, would almost think necro is the typo. It's kinda makes sense in their naming scheme. Viking Gold is very red, Elven Gold very yellow, and Dwarven Gold somewhere in between. Necro Gold isn't actually that dark, but has a slightly green tinge so it looks like "evil" gold. They should probably just have called it Necrotic Gold, which I think is closer to the Spanish name as well. I only brought it up because I've seen a few people searching for Black Gold and getting annoyed because no-one has it.

Oath thread cross post! There is a "do all the challenges on a single mini" challenge this season, so everything is piled on this guy. I'll probably repaint the sword, I just needed some freehand, and as much as I like the idea of heads on fire, I should either drop the blue heads or go for much larger flames.

What do people use as a black backdrop when taking pictures? I have some black paper but it's too reflective. I'd much prefer the background to just look pitch black.

I put what you all said together and pulled Ghost Prider back out. Then I forgot to turn on macro so it's blurry as hell, but the background is the whole point here. Not too bad. I used an old t-shirt and a black Steel Pad from when I was an annoying gamer kid instead of an annoying mini painting grown man.

Oath thread cross post:Electric Hobo posted:Oath complete! Unrelated, I picked up a bunch of models in a unplaceable goods auction. One of the models is that stupidly big AoS Nagash model, but, annoyingly, it's missing it's head. Does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement head that fits in and doesn't cost a fortune?

Arthil posted:Went to a little painting class at the local game shop this evening. Not really too keen on posting the results, I know it's pretty sloppy though I think for my first time touching brush to mini it ain't the worst. Blending flew right over my head, but maybe I just didn't get to listen/watch closely enough. Seemed to pick up on how to do the wash, and dry brushing pretty easily though and am kind of proud of how nicely the rusted effect on metal I did turned out. Just post it! Everybody starts out less than stellar.

Ghetto SuperCzar posted:Painted some Descent figures (very poorly) and I had a blast doing it. Are there any other figure heavy games that aren't... war games? I've never really played a war game and I'm guessing on the premise I wouldn't love it. Bonus points if you have a recommendation that is co-op. If I could play warhammer 40k co-op with my wife that would be amazing because the figures do look awesome... Gloomhaven is co-op and a great game, but only comes with about 20 figures. Blood Rage and Rising Sun from Cool Mini or Not are non co-op boardgames with a ton of figures, and then there are all the Zombicide games, also from CMoN, which are co-op.
