I often see, either on the gaming table or the internet, painted minis that are finished up except for basing. Now of course for the fanciest basing you'll really need to pre-sculpt or integrate the details ahead of time(see some of Adary's great articles on Just the Bases). However, if your mini is all painted ...
That's right, necessity is the mother of invention. I was reminded of the old axiom when I screwed up painting this miniature! I'm sure I'm not alone...but I find that eyes are a challenge to paint(especially on a certain squinty-eyed Khadoran warcaster). The point of no return on a ...
Ever have one of those nights when you can't sleep because you have an idea for how you want to paint a certain miniature? Laying in bed you think, "Ahhh, but I could try this-or-that effect!"....and then you have to get up and paint(even if its 3am). That's what ...
There are few things as sad as a wonderfully painted miniature on a plain, undecorated base....especially when a basic texture effect is so easily achieved cheaply and quickly. This is Basing 101: using sand as dirt texture for your wargaming mini. Now for veterans this is a 'no brainer'...a tried and tested method for quickly ...
"Natural Textured Base" by Adary Adary(a regular contributor on the Privateer Press forum) and myself(Gareson) have teamed up to launch a blog(Just The Bases) dedicated to creating custom bases for your miniatures. Though it is in its infancy, and will certainly get 'dressed up' and filled up ...
A great toolbox solo(especially for fighting my son's pesky incorporeal Cryx models), the Gun Mage Captain Adept is a great mini that, I believe, clearly inspired Privateer Press to go back and rework their Gun Mage unit to match the quality of this sculpt.Here's my take on him......
Wow, Ragman is a Mercenary solo that I really struggled with in terms of painting. In fact, I stripped him of his paint two times until I finally created a look that I can live with. He's an undead nobleman so the trick was to paint him in vibrant attire while making him suitably dingy ...
For a long time I held off on buying these guys...I just wasn't sure I liked the sculpts(was afraid they'd be too diminutive when I saw them in person). Well a few months ago I picked them up and I have finally gotten around to painting them up...well, I like 'em. I opted for a ...
Figure Feature: Khador Manhunter(I wouldn’t mess with her)
Posted by Gareson @ Iron Kingdoms at WarAug 4 2011
Sometimes in the middle of painting a Warmachine or Hordes mini I take a look at the figure in front of me, take a moment, and say to myself "Yeah, that wouldn't be fun to face on the battlefield". I'm not talking about on the wargaming table, but in real life, an angry, dual axe-wielding ...
There are few Privateer Press sculpts that I feel a desire to sub an alternate model for. That being said, I'm just not in love with the Alten Ashley model(although the stogie is cool). It's not that it's not a nice figure...I just think they have a better "Monster Hunter" in the PP stable...Seth Alkot ...
