Welcome to Nowhere! - A tale of three gamers

[nightseer]

Hey there!

For years, I've been searching for a game that would pick my girlfriend's interest. She didn't really care about WHFB/40k/Necromunda/Mordheim. A few months ago I showed her some pictures of Wyrd's miniatures, and she kinda "fell in love" with that steampunk/victorian/horror/western/fantasy theme. It didn't take long for us to order some starter boxes, and I managed to talk a friend into ordering one too! So, it will be a "tale of three gamers" kind of log - although I'll be the only one who'll post our progress.

So, let's see some pics!

Gremlins (my gf's crew) - assembled, based, undercoated

There are close-up shots of each member, just ask if you wish to see them.

Death Marshals (my friend's crew) - assembled, based, undercoated

Bases were made by me, and there's a chance that I'll be painting them for him. He doesn't really like to paint, he's more into gaming.

Showgirls (my crew) - assembled, based, undercoated, some painted

During the summer, I plan to make a display base for them, and in December, I'd like to take them to the local Games Day.

Close-ups of the painted Performer (I've painted the base since then):



I'm also done with the other Performer and Cassandra, I might have some photos soon.

That's it for now.
See ya!

The red is very vibrant. I like it so far.

Thanks everyone!

Here are some new photos of the girls!

Cassandra


Performer No.2


And a group shot of them:


Oh, and a pic of a sign for their display base:


More pics in this album.

We'll have the first game tomorrow, I'm really interested how it turns out!

Nice work so far, I look forward to seeing more of the crews painted up in future posts.

Performer no. 2 looks great. I think she is the best of the bunch. I'm not sure about their bases - are they walking on sectioned floorboards or on a boardwalk near a beach?

[nightseer]

Their bases represent a raised platform - their display base will feature a wild west-style "train station"

[oconlan]

Excellent - that makes sense. How did you paint their flesh? It looks particularly good.

[nightseer]

The skin is: thinned GW Dwarf Flesh and highlights with Dwarf Flesh + Elf Flesh, with more and more Elf flesh in the mix, up to pure EF.

wow really nice work on those, the basing is well done also.
