Atrox finished! (Yeah, it's cheating since I only "finished" him by rebasing him, but I'm still counting it.)
Pretty excited to try him out with Anum, Leo, and Acerbus...

Works for me.  And you can use Wrong Eye as Gaius, or something...

UPDATE: (I'm rolling right now - hope I can keep this momentum for a while...)   Rebuilt his head-branch, finished his root growths, and knocked out his axe head. Still need to do the skulls underfoot, the axe handle, and touch ups. Thinking about re-doing the red belt and straps as well - they look like they are a touch washed out and could use another highlight IMO... Thanks for looking! |

Looking glorious. I think only the belt looks a little desaturared there on the back, the straps look right on, to me. |

UPDATE: Gaius Pallidus - done!    Plus a current team photo (I love these)...  And a look at who is next in line...  Otho, Iason, and Lupa. Also, a couple shots of my most recent game...  Here, Micon has squared off against Atrox, with Noxius hurrying in to support his crocodilian buddy. This is the beginning of a showdown that lasted most of the match - Micon managed to push Atrox back into a hazard and get him to Exhausted, but then proceeded to roll HORRIBLY. I assumed if I rolled enough ATK dice and added enough Favor Micon would be able to get to the bottom of his damage tree where he could use Atlas Throw... I had it all lined up but the dice gods were pissed at him or something. Turn after turn of nothing.  Newly painted Leo showed off by pulling a counter-attack in the third round of combat that yielded him nine (NINE!) successes when Hermes moved in to attack, essentially dooming the superstar to be lion chow - it was just a matter of time before Leo whittled away his last 4-5 health (even with Urbicus supporting him as much as possible). Huge turning point in the game and it happened pretty much right away. |

Cheers. It's been a little while since I painted something, last order I just assembled and converted them all in a hurry, and then left them to wait. They still sit there looking at me, and I'm struggling a little with Leika. And I know they will never look as pretty as yours.

All awesome! It's amazing how much the painted fatigue markers add to the vibe. |

ripper.mcguirl wrote: All awesome! It's amazing how much the painted fatigue markers add to the vibe. Thanks, rip. I agree about the tokens - I love the way they look and it feels like they complete the feel of the gameplay. I do have to say that I shamelessly stole the idea from spiralingcadaver so credit really needs to go to him. Also, quick update... Here's where I'm at with Otho:  My original plan was to paint the feathers like a peacock's, with a blue "eye" in a brown ring on each, but I kind of like the look of them like this. I could get some more blue/turquoise tones in them to sort of suggest the peacock without worrying about all that fine detail... What do you guys think? (Good news is I can decide later.) Also, stripped Iason. I decided to reverse course and paint his armor silver like his actual original art, but that extra layer of paint just started to obscure too much detail so I broke out the Simple Green. Still a pain in the ass to get all the paint out of all the crevices, even after several rounds in the cleaner - had to use tiny wire brushes and pushpins to get at it all, and ended up snapping his spear in multiple places, but there is a (small) silver lining: the SG loosened the glue on his shield and it popped right off so now I'll be able to actually paint his arm and chest effectively. Also got a bit done on Lupa but nothing too exciting. Maybe I'll be able to get in another update this weekend. Cheers - thanks for looking! |
