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.

Building Character- Vanguard Unique Models

Continuing with a more down-to earth Vanguard minis, with a batch of characters. I've always liked Kara, particularly her expression and prosthetic arm: Her scars have a lot of cool narrative weight that I don't often see.

Third Time's the...? Sorry, I lost count of the revisions. - Redone Witch Hunter minis

Maybe this'll be the last time.

Scooty Puff Jr. Sucks! - Tiger Claws master of the Forge on Jetbike

This one was just plain fun.

Family Man - Arena Rex, Urbicus (& activation marker)

I'm saving a full Arena Rex review for the future, so, for now, I'll need to be satisfied with saying that Urbicus took paint well.

Waste Not, Want Not - Revenant color test

Another new incarnation (possibly a reincarnation?), this time, mostly going with dead flesh rather than anything particularly bloody.

First Squad, Assemble at the Main Air Lock - Sedition Wars Vanguard

I think these guys look just plain slick with these colors, wish I could take the credit for picking them.

Western Frankenstein - Conversion Experiments with Through the Breach & Malifaux

The Through the Breach multipose kits offered me the one thing I felt was wholly missing from Malifaux: conversion fodder.

The Holy Grail of Board Games - Space Hulk Dead Captain

I can say pretty definitively that I've never spent more time on snap-fit minis than on my Space Hulk set.

"I See a Red Door and I..." - Black and Dark Non-Metallic Metal Painting Tutorial

So, for my first tutorial, I'm focusing on a favorite area of mine- I consider myself pretty proficient in lighting and contrast, so NMM techniques was a clear first option.

This tutorial will be primarily about working primarily with glossy blacks and NMM, though the techniques could be applied to most high-contrast techniques and I'll make a few notes throughout on how this can be adapted.

This also covers a few of my preferences on paints and techniques.

I'll be using a Studio McVey Sedition Wars mini as the basis for this demo.

Hunting the Hunters - Magnetized 2nd edition Predator Destrouctor/Annihilator

I'm a big fan of the versatility represented in the Predator builds, be it tank hunter or anti-infantry/light vehicle (though I'm not a fan of mixed weaponry).

Clobberin' Time - Malifaux Rail Golem

I have a bad habit of deciding big models aren't big enough.

B Squad Leader - Samaritan Color Test

After doing a kind of standard job with my own Samaritans, going with something strikingly different was a lot of fun. I'm not really sure what else to say on this- the paint job went very smoothly, even if it did come out a little brighter than the X-COM reference. More Sedition Wars dudes to follow...

Feelin' Blue - Kingdom Death Twilight Knight

The Kingdom Death line has done nothing but impress me, and the Twilight Knight was no exception.

Irregulars - More WWII Soviets (and some fun historical trivia)

Company B's GAZ-AAA was probably my favorite vehicle from this set of historical minis.

Goin' Out West - Western-themed Malifaux Zombies

Guess what? I still like bleak, Western-themed stuff.

No worse for the Wear - Bolt Action Soviets with winter camo & weathering

Some more Bolt Action minis, this time with some more grime.

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:
