The blog’s been quite for a week or so as I haven’t been able to paint all that much for the past little while. I did manage to spend a very late night watching a young fellow on the streets of Rostov livestream a bunch of Wagnerites waiting around for the Chechens, but sadly, Prigozhin blinked and everyone went to bed (including myself). Regardless, I did manage to paint another batch of the D&D Boardgame models over the last couple of weeks, and now I’ll definitely be focusing on non-D&D models for awhile..
I found some artwork for all three types of cultist, and used them as general inspiration for my models, though I thought the Air Cultists looked much too dark for “air”. Good, but too dark.
Of the three, I think these Fire guys are my favourites. But let’s face it, the bar is pretty low here. I added a glimse of simple OSL onto the floor which I’m just now noticing leaked onto the rims. If I cared more about these, I’d clean that up, but, you know…
Finally I have these discount-Namor-impersonators with (for some reason) greaser hair. I gave them deeper, richer teal/turquioise/aqua colours to represent the …aqua and visually define them from the Air Force up top.
Anyway, these models are once again mid models with mid paintjobs, but they’ll look completely fine at arm’s length on the boardgame tiles. I’m also another good chunk closer to completing those D&D boardgames, so once i can steel myself back to facing more of them, I’ll knock more of them out. Until then, I’ve got some other models what need finishing, and also apparently the Season of Scenery Starts Soon. Gonna try and finish some things I wanted to finish last year. And the year before….
But first, one (or maybe two) more posts for June…
