Through the breach - A tale of three gamers

[diehard]

Hey, I like the carried by puppets idea, quite original and would look very cool. I'll be keeping an eye out for that one!

All three of you seem to be off to a good start. That sewer base is very neat, the SPAs all have a good color to them and the western bases are off to a great start. Best of luck in modelling and welcome.

I agree! all of the entries so far are great looking!

what puzzles me is that one of you is in Krakow and the other is in Sweden, how did you meet? :D

Thanks guys for the kind comments

Hehe i can see how that can be kinda confusing but Balestorm has lived in Sweden his whole life But moved to Krakow some year ago

I got alot done in my bases last night but it was to late to take any pictures so expect an update tonight!

Heh. We are childhood friends, but I moved to Krakow two years ago (more or less exactly now). So when we do meet we try to play miniature games as much as we can :P

OK, so I'll hopefully do an picture update tonight of later this evening, but till then you will have to settle with my bare words!

I have given up my attempts at an alternative flesh-color for my SPAs and will now go for something closer to the "official" paint-scheme (or whatever you want to call it). I just can't seem to get it the way I want, it seems to me that no matter what I do it just gets too purple and to smudgy and I can't get the colors to merge. I just get two colors that look flat and smudgy :( , so down the stripping jar it is! So as mentioned above I'll go for a more conventional approach instead. I had an idea of how to do it, tried it out earlier today and I got quite pleased with the result...

But there is more to come! I started sculpting an alternative head for my desolation engine (which of course isn't a part of my 10 ss list) a couple of weeks ago. Progress have been slow but now you can start to see where I'm going so I thought it would be interesting to see what you guys think! The head will make the model look even more like the aberration prime (confrontation) which I'm quite certain have been a source of inspiration for the sculptor. But I'm going for a more malifauxian look and somewhat more SPA-like but with spider-ish eyes... We'll see if you get what I mean when I get the pictures up

I might add some text to this post tomorrow but here are the pictures as promised!

My new SPA flesh-color (the mini is by no means finished):




And here is the Desolation Engines alternative head sculpt wip.




Sorry if the picktures are a bit blurry, comments and critique are welcome as always!

That SPA is looking great so far! And you were worried that your stuff would look bad compared to ours ;) the head is of to a great start as well! Its already looking very abberationish

Sorry to say my updates will have to be pushed up till tomorrow, i just got hone from our weekly gaming night and now its way to late to start taking pictures and posting them, but i promise you as soon as i get home from work tomorrow ill upload them!

Love the skin colour. Really looks great. Not to mention the head sculpt. Really looking forward to seeing the process and the end result.
