Miniature Painting

Elves of Inneath and Broken Anvil Dwarves

A little bit of indie painting. These are minis by Broken Anvil Miniatures. There’s a charm and distinct feel to the sculpting that stands out from other minis we’ve done.

I especially like the Dungeon Delver Dwarves. Their sharp-edged style reminds me of Warcraft 3.

Warmachine MkIV: Some Khymarera Shadowflame Miniature Painting Service

Not every day we see Warmachine in the studio. Hard to believe once it outnumbered Warhammer orders! It was nice to see how the sculpting has evolved over time, but still kept their signature, Privateer Press feel.

These were painted to Showcase and Exhibition Quality.

Classic L5R: We Painted Legend of the Five Rings

For the longest time, I thought L5R was just a card game. Back in the day, a good friend was the number one player, and they’d fly him to GenCon to participate in tourneys. I’d never thought to ask him if there had been any miniatures for the game. There were, and here are some. They’re part of a giant L5R collection we’ve been painting over the past couple of years.

Age of Sigmar: Painting Blue Flesh-Eater Courts

It’s not every day you get to do Archaon Everchosen. Indeed, I think this might only be the second time. What stood out though about this time around was his basing. Along with Archaon, we also did a bunch of his Varanguard. They in turn were divided up along each of the Chaos deities.

This gave them unique color schemes, but also unique basing. Our challenge was to fit each style on Archaon’s base. I was worried it would create a hodge-podge look, but it worked out.

Painting Masters of the Universe: Clash for Eternia

Myself, Kashan, and Vasanth are middle-aged wargamers. Everyone else in the studio is in their 20s and 30s. They are fitter, faster, and healthier than we are… However, we have a perk. That is, when orders like this come up, WE GET TO SHOW THEM HOW MUCH BETTER OUR CARTOONS WERE:

It was nice to apply product knowledge learned when I was 6 years old, to this order. I can’t believe I remember so many of their names…

Some Frostgrave Miniature Painting Service

Some Frostgrave miniatures. From what I can tell, the designers have made no moves towards digital modeling. This gives their hand-sculpted minis a charming, anachronistic look.

I feel the more I look at them, the more I can see the hallmarks of the different designers.

Rumbleslam! Space Kitty Is / Is On Drugs

Not every day you get to paint a bunch of cats. Much less, a space cat.

Is it spaced out, too? Is, the viewer supposed to be spaced out? Do the Pillars of Creation make this hard science? So many drug-addled questions…

Conquest The Last Argument of Kings: City States Miniature Painting Service

The more I see of Conquest: Last Argument of Kings, the more I like what I see. The figures are quite large, even compared with GW sculpts. This does make them costlier to work on, but the sculptors make good use of the space. The figures are not overdetailed them, and the designs are cool. Here we did a bunch of their “City States” line.

(Some More) Bloodbowl at Exhibition Quality

,

This was an unusual set of Blood Bowl teams.

They’re by Punga Miniatures; as far as I’ve seen Punga make the nicest Blood Bowl teams these days. They all have a bit of humor them. My favorites in this lot were the dancing Slavic-looking dudes.

These were painted to Exhibition quality.

Age of Sigmar: Khorne Bloodbound

As far as I can tell, the angriest, reddest, and fightiest of the Khorne-related factions in the Warhammer universe are the Age of Sigmar Khorne Bloodbound. They almost seem a parody of themselves. I’m alright with this; its part of why they have so much character. Every time we do them, I notice something new about the models.

Oil washes helped give these a bit more oomph. Oh, and there’s a mammoth at the end!

Warhammer Underworlds: Some Painted Warbands

This was a fun order; a whole bunch of Warhammer Underworlds warbands. Namely:

Ephilim's Pandemonium, Gorechosen of Dromm, Khagra's Ravagers Gryselle's Arenai, Hexbane's Hunters, Drepur’s Wraithcreepers, the Storm of Celestus, the Farstriders, the Sepulchral Guard,
and of course, the Crimson Court.

Warhammer the Old World: Some High Elves Miniature Painting Service

We haven’t done High Elves in years. We’re better painters now, and have a better appreciation of High Elf cavalry sculpts. The Dragon Princes of Caledor are particularly impressive figures that have aged well.

High Elf cavalry look good even with basic paint job. With advanced ones, they look miles better!

Painting HUGE 3D Printed Star Wars Vehicles

We got to do some quite large minis designed by Darkfire Designs. The figures were amazing; the AT-TE had a paintable interior so large, you could run an encounter inside it.

There were some issues with the prints though, which came from a third party printer. Many were unusable; dripping, uncured resin, poorly cured parts, and very warped pieces. The client helped us out here, buying and sending us the 3d files so we could reprint whatever we needed to.

The reprinting ended up being a lot harder than we expected. We got there eventually, but it was quite tough. We won’t be doing large prints again till we can figure out how to avoid large parts warping.

Age of Sigmar: We Painted too Many Stormcasts!

This time, in manly black. You can’t go wrong with black, red, and gold. Add a bit of white or a bone tone, and you’re good to go.

The black also helped frame the colorfulness of the animals in this army. A less serious color might have given them a carnival aspect (which is awesome, but not very Stormcast Eternal).

SPIDERS! Painting Forest Goblins and Arachnaroks

Nothing quite as disturbing on the table as a bunch of giant spiders… We got to do quite a few of these. They were done to Exhibition Quality with some additional touches to the basing (those mushrooms are toothpicks and hot glue).

Here the client picked out some vibrant, super-toxic looking coloration. We played them to make these look as venomous as possible.

Painting the New(ish) Age of Sigmar Seraphon

We’ve done quite a few Lizardmen / Seraphon. This was our first time though, working with all new / newish sculpts.

The first thing we noticed was that they’re not as straightforward as the older minis. There’s a lot of detail you can miss out unless you take another good, hard, look. We went back and forth with some of these few times, but we figured them out.

These were painted at Standard, Showcase, and Exhibition Quality.
