Three tons of him. - Kingdom Death Sunstalker review

As I sometimes do, this is a hybrid hobby article and review. 

In short, I have a love/...meh relationship with this expansion.

Alcoholic Mythology? - Malifaux Yasunori

Yasunori's got to be one of the most colorful minis I've painted recently, and I was really happy with how he came out. Obviously, a lot of that's his wings/man transitions, which was something of an experiment to work on, but, I was very happy that I was able to control the color and shade well enough that it didn't come off as something bland, and there are a couple other models where I've done dull feather designs that I'm tempted to redo to get something this punchy going.

Me and My Shadow - Kirai Crew, second half

Continuing with my revisions on another person's paint job... I think the Seishin were a pretty cool improvement in second edition, and particularly like first pair for some unusually nice texturing on the part of Wyrd's digital sculptors.

Me and My Shadow - Kirai Crew, first half

So, I believe this is a first for me- heavily retouching someone else's paint jobs.

Light Up the Knight - Kingdom Death Warrior of the Sun Pinup and Percival the Black Knight

I was pretty darn happy with how this repaint came out-- a slight conversion to turn her top into more of a sleeveless thing than a corset, but basically I just repainted the Warrior of the Sun.

My Other Car's a Centaur Demon - Journey: Wrath of Demons Review

Journey, Marrow Production's ode to the classical epic, Journey into the West. A review of their cooperative game through mythical China, including plays of the first three scenarios.

Workin' in a Coal Mine... - Mei Feng & kang

Going with a more industrial/down-to-earth look for this pair...

Namu Ami Butsu Namu Ami Butsu... - Yan Lo crew, part 2

Going with a very loose Japanese Buddhist theme, here.

The Muck and the Mire - Yan Lo crew, part 1

It's been a long, long time since I've played with swamp environmental effects like these, and it was pretty cool, coming back to it after a decade since I had my old Nurgle collection. (I feel old, now...)

...And This is Your Drug on Brains - Malifaux Lynch crew

So, with my first and second set of these guys, I did something more traditional, but with this, I feel like I've had enough practice with the minis that I could do something more out there.

Bunmei Kaika - Asian-focused Lynch Crew

I think this is my favorite Lynch crew, having worked on three now.

The Face of Revolution - Kang Sketch

I really like Kang's concept, but felt that his pose didn't really convey his character.

...All the Live-Long Day - Rail Crew

I really enjoyed the variety in these models' gear, despite their somewhat static poses.

Industrial Revolution - Mei Feng Tactics

In keeping with aggressive pose, Mei Feng is a powerhouse and anchor of her crew, which I quite enjoy, as I tend towards support commanders, so I'm very much in to the idea of a strong commander who can still run support a little.

She's got a bit of an odd character because, while she's a bouncing death ball and has some useful defensive support, it's her Henchman, Kang, who brings more of the power and offensive support to the crew.

Poser! - Mei Feng (and Emberling)

What started as a way of trying to figure out how a debris/base made sense has turned into one of my favorite projects, and my next tactics focus:

Real Horrorshow - Ten Thunders/Ressurectionist Enforcers

I'd seen these creepy things around every now and then, but never knew that they're called. Apparently, Yin is a Penanggalan. (Thanks, Wyrd, for the mythology lesson.)

Angry Ghosts All Around Us - Kirai Crew, part 1

This is the second iteration of this crew.

Dark Paths - Yan Lo Malifaux Resurrectionist/Ten Thunders Crew

I was quite pleasantly surprised by the detail on Wyrd's new plastic line.

Copy, Blue Leader. - TRON-inspired YuJing (part 2)

Normally I save the proverbial big guns for last, but I was just too happy with this guy not to lead with my favorite. This may be the cleanest sculpted and best cast large model I've ever worked with, which made it a lot of fun to paint.

Your Move, Flynn! - TRON-inspired YuJing

The request to do a set of minis based on TRON's art style was a challenge I looked forward to.

Starting off with subtle shading and a strong focus on the glowing lines was, while faithful to the style, and likely to look good in all gloss, not the best translation to miniatures. The crisp edges, and a little more liberal shading quickly improved this.
