I’ve considered getting Stitched since my first crew box two years ago, but now that they’re in plastic I finally got it done.
Sadly, I wasn’t feeling too creative while painting these guys up, so they’re kind of same-y. The turning one had a lamp in one hand, but it broke off and I let it be.
The rotten contents are pretty gruesome. I turned one arm up instead of down, which gives a bit more sense of life. Juicy.
The rest of my Adepticon Wyrd purchase, and my first Wave 2 Neverborn Master.
A simple young boy, wandering through the dreamscape of Malifaux. I wish his little friend looked more like a miniature, more cuddly Lord Chompy Bits.
I tried using an leopard spot airbrush stencil on Chompy arms, which gave it a nice mottled pattern. The wash I used ended up almost completely covering it, such that it’s too subtle to see. The lesson here is to not try to be subtle with that kind of pattern, and trust the wash to tone it down.
The Daydreams are just so cuddly. They’re so small I kept to a single color, just varying the tone to give some texture.
Coppelius is the Cthulhu monster that so much of Malifaux is clearly missing. His head has an interesting texture to it. I wish more Wyrd models had these kinds of textures on the surfaces. It makes my life so much easier than trying to paint them on.
The Alps have a fun variety of poses and heads. My favorite is the smoker. I painted their tunics to match the Daydreams, although it came out dark enough to be pretty hard to see.
The visuals of post-apoc always get me, so Wreck Age had an immediate appeal. I got a demo in at Adepticon from the very hard working people at the booth. Even though the game is a bit more story-driven than I have room for in my life right now, and was way over budget, I couldn’t help but buy a few models.
I ended up selected the Reclaimer Zealot starter, because among all the blisters it spoke to me the most, even if it’s not the most post-apocish. My object source lighting is still somewhat hit-or-miss.
On the other hand, I’m pretty pleased with how the robes turned out.
The guy at the booth tossed in an Arhk Trooper model, which I graciously accepted. I guess I managed to come out with some of the highest tech models in the line.
I have a vision of the time where I’d be part of a group that does more rotating games, where there’d be room for this kind of game on a six week rotation or something. And some of the other random stuff I’ve picked up. For now, they make fun hobby diversions.
At Adepticon 2015, I was tempted by Tri-City Laser’s buildings, but waited until later to buy any. Somehow I forgot to add the fence set to my cart. So I remedied that this year.
The fence set comes in eight pieces – four straight sections and four corners. It’s got the same neat woodgrain texture which may be out of scale but comes out really nicely when drybrushing.
I also grabbed an outhouse, just for an extra piece of scatter.
I also grabbed these signs from Tectonic Crafts Studios. Sadly, I’m not totally in love with these pieces. Between the fibers of the MDF and the relatively low resolution of the laser cuts, it’s too hard to clean them up to any decent standard.
