Tutorial: Armored Greatcoat

Here is a quick tutorial on how I made the armored greatcoat. 

Materials needed:

Milliput (yellow grey)

Super Sculpey (Firm)

No hole glass glitter beads

Iron Kingdoms (part 3)

This past weekend we had our first encounter with the Iron Kingdoms campaign. This was very much a learning experience as my total amount of Warmachines equates to two games. The mechanics are very easy to learn and the play was very smooth. Here is who I brought to the fight:

Vasily
Human, Khador, Arcane Mechanik/Man-at-Arms

Thoughts on this character is that he is more of a supportive class. His primary role is helping with repairs to Steamjacks or creating new Mechanika items for the party. Being a Will Weaver allows him to run magic spells a little more forcefully than a Focus Caster (as long as he doesn't fail a Fatigue roll) and his Arcantik Bolt spell is useful for shutting down enemy Steamjacks. With his Polarity Shield spell any charges against his front arc are canceled and his Defense Line ability adds +1 to his ARM while in base-to-base with a friendly character. This lets him act as a nice decoy when in city terrain. 

Iron Kingdoms (part 2)

The time has come for modding and sculpting on my Iron Kingdoms miniature. The base sculpt of the miniature is a Widowmaker Marksman. After cleaning off any mold lines, I spent some time with a chisel and file removing the fur trim on the bottom of his great coat. After that I used a mix of miliput and super sculpey and created armor plates, the cobblestone base, and the shield. Once I get my bits order in I can start on the head swap and left hand.

More soon to come!

Iron Kingdoms preview

The local painters group along with a few fellow gamers will be starting a campaign next month for Iron Kingdoms RPG.

Here is a preview of what my character will be (converted mini soon to come.)

Infinity WIPS

I've been working to get these finished for a contest over at O-12. After I get them sealed I'll be adding more detail work to the bases.

Airbrush 101

If you have been on the fence when it comes to getting a airbrush for your hobby needs but dont know the first thing about them then this video is for you. It is a tad bit long but the information is great. I learned a few new things even though I've been airbrushing for a while.

Video updates

I have been rather busy lately with multiple tasks, but I have not been lazy when it comes to painting. Now I would like to take this time and show off some videos of past projects that I've just barely got around to uploading.

Enjoy,
