woldwrath left arm highlighting

I got most of the highlighting work done on the logs/rope and vines and the basecoat for the gem.
I just need to finish the shading on gems and do some minor touchups and its ready for sealing

WoldWrath Left arm runes done and more!

So I've got most of the starter soviet army assembled for the FOW league..PSC figures are cheaper but man glueing arms and heads on 15mm figures is TIME CONSUMING!Everything's just Elmer glued to the bases for now so they can be used for playing.. I'll go back afterwards to properly paint and base them.

Now that I have the 600point force needed for the league ,I spend todayy getting back to working on the woldwrath left arm finally
I finished the runes and got the inserts all glued in.. Hopefully tomorrow I can spend sometime highlighting the Ropes ,Vines and logs.

Plastic Soldier Company Army has arrived

Just got home and My PSC soviet tank starter army for the flames of war league has arrived. All together including shipping from the UK it was 157 Canadian
includes 15 T34 Tanks with both 76mm and 85mm turrets

52 infantry

4 Maxim MGs, 

2 x 50mm mortars, 

2 x 80mm mortars, 

2 x 120mm mortars, 

4 x PTRS anti tank rifles, 

4 x Zis 2/3 57mm anti tank guns

 

no bases tho..but I did pickup the flames of war plastic rubble scenic bases I think I'll only need 4 large bases for the anti tank guns.

 

 

woldwrath left arm runes

spent some more time working on the left arm and applied all the wash's on the stone and wood/rope
as well go the first stage of the runes done applying the thinned down white.

I also worked rebasing the other two bones I have and priming them with brush on primer with a little black added to make it grey.
I used some greenstuff to extend out the build in base on the gnoll..seems to have worked ok ..kinda looks like rough cobblestone...or something.


I do find the bones with primer like this shows much better detail than whats apparent when its just the white plastic.

a year ago today

looking back a year to where I started..long way to go..but I think its comealong quite a bit.

got the basecoat done for the wood,ropes and vines. I'm gonna leave the touch up and cleanup for tomorrow.

woldwrath righ arm attached and drying

I found that there was a pretty significant gap on the underside of the lip for attaching the arm to the torso
So I sandwitched some greenstuff between superglue on the torso and superglue on the arm hopefully with the lip/the brass rod and the greenstuff once it sets is strong enough for so much weight on a small contact point.

I found my slippers actually work great to balance it on its side and not putting pressure on the base edge

I've made the decision to base all my bones on round lipped bases.
Even tho Warlord uses square bases, all the other 28mm skirmish games I want to play use the round bases and I want to be able to more seamlessly proxy figures. And mixed bases makes my OCD itch. I can't see to much of a problem using the round bases for playing Warlord since its just gonna be for local games anyways..we'll just have to make some small adjustments and consessions for b2b contact etc.

So I've had all the mummies from the old Nefsokar starter kit soaking in simple green and 3 bones I bought awhile ago that I had based on squares.
I got all of them seperated from the square bases now and I glued down the ghost on a 30mm round lipped base and used some woodfiller to blend the height of the brocholi base in..its left abit of a gap but nothing a little static grass won't hide.

I don't know if its abad idea but I decided to try adding a drop of black paint to some brush on white primer and used that for a basecoat on the ghost..Im gonna  throw it in the car for the next month and see how the paint holds up since its such a flexible sculpt..if the  tinted primer stays on I'll probably do the same for all the other bones in the vampire kit.

everything dried and seems to be secure..one arm to go!

ripple test

so heres the stuff 24 hrs later.
The good news is you can peal it off of the lid and the instamold stuff np. overall the ripple effects are good it just depends now on which ones to do.

the somewhat concerning news is its very flexible

so i pealed them off cut em in half and pressed them down on the base to just get a idea what it would look like..the little one from the instamold test is the clearest..the two from the lid are abit milky looking but thats due to the air inbetwween and needing another 24 hrs or so to really clear up .
