On Transports

I erred in the pursuit of making this sci-fi extranganza as portable as possible.  The terrain boards took up too much space in the box, leaving me with little left over for a figure box.  Then I found these: Four small craft boxes at the local craft store (Ben...

New and Improved Aliens

To refresh your memory, these aliens were originally painted with a bright shaded to dark, and it really didn’t work.  I hit them with a thin Devlan Mud wash, and that helped, but these critters needed another dusting of bright green highlight and bone white spine to polish them...

Awful Green Thing Repair

It’s amazing how starting to train for a marathon (told you I was a beast), finding out your wife is expecting a new baby, and getting transferred to a new office in the company that means a 20% cut in hours and pay will interfere with miniature wargaming, isn’t...

Baby Mommas and Babies

Just pictures of the last of the Pendraken Aaliens today: Three lovely ladies, all painted up and ready for anight on the town. Ten little babies all in a row. Action shot! Side by side comparison of the three types of critters anda human marine for scale....

Awful Green Things

These Pendraken alien creatures are normally painted black for reasons obvious to anyone who has ever seen the movie Alien or Aliens or so on and so forth.  Not me though – I’m a rebel. (Slight pause here for me to give a firm Barney Fife sniff and hoist...

Monsters on the Prowl: Manticores

As we trundle along, merrily throwing alien after alien at the hapless human intruders, it’s always nice to pause and add a little sumpin sumpin to the lists of the fantasy dungeon.  Why not some twin manticores to spice things up? DN58 – Manticore  These ugly mugs can be...

Leaping Lizards

Remember the guy on the left?  Lizardman shaman?  Posted him a few months ago.  Maybe rings a bell?   Yeah.  He’s got company. This big guy is the new Lizard King.  The lizard with the skull staff becomes a shaman. FTL17 –  Tribal lizardman hero Don’t think this one’s...

Civvies

Those alien eggs can’t hatch from their own chests, you know.  They need warm bodies for incubation, and the marines need something to protect, so here’s some cannon fodder.   SF20 – Civilian men SF21 – Civilian women As usual, excellent sculpts from Pendraken.  SF20 comes with two poses,...

One Two Three Four…

…Who here loves the Marine Corp? The humans have twenty solid spacejarheads to protect them from a hostile universe. Pendraken SF2 Note the BnL logos on their sleeves.  Pretty proud ofthem, to be completely honest with you. The BNL logo on these guys was easier than it looks.  It’s...

Happy Independence Day

As a wise man once said, today is the day we Americans celebrate the birth of our nation by blowing up a small piece of it. This is partially a blog about painting little things, so here’s a little thing I painted up for the Fourth of July celebration...
