From DrQ: Space Zombies

Hello all! I missed a week or so do to various reasons, but I'm back with a vengeance this week. Somewhere around 100 days of quarantine, and over week of curfews on top of it pushed me to one the larger projects on my shelf of shame: finishing the space zombies in Zombicide Invader by CMON.

Thirty five of these monstrosities in all. Only a group shot here, because these are literally fodder for space shotguns and space chainsaws. Simple paint job of base coat, wash, and drybrush highlight. Probably the most time spent per individual model was the orange basing to match the alien terrain of the game tiles. 

Now I just need a good tutorial on how to paint white power armour to finish off the heroes in the game.

Stay safe!

From DrQ: Crab People and a Mountain Climber

A small offering for this week.

First up I painted this trio of aquatic denizens.

The mechanic-lady in the middle is of unknown providence. A friend gave me the mini back before the end of the world, and she had been sitting on my shelf for some time. Her two bodyguards are Shell Crackers of House Hadross, from CMON's Wrath of Kings game. I picked up a few miscellaneous miniatures from this line at the start of the pandemic on a sale from Miniature Market. The game itself looks uninspiring mechanically, but for something like $4US I figured these crabby bois could find a home in a D&D game when everything reopens. The bases for all of them are DIY cobblestone made from polymer clay.

However, most of my week was taken up painting this little darling:

This is Ice Climber Candy—a limited release, master-class miniature for Ninja Division's Super Dungeon Explorer game. She's painted pretty much to her concept art here (i.e. it wasn't my idea to have her with a pink parka and pink hair!). I can't see her getting much table time as either a D&D miniature or in the aforementioned game, but she was fun to paint. I really had a chance to work on my blackening skills on her gear and the fur.

Next week I'm hoping to build and paint some more sci-fi terrain, but we'll have to see where the muses take me.

Stay safe.
