The 'cron's big blade is beautifully weathered.

Cheers seeing your reply made me want to bung this up given your superheroes as Zombicides not Iron Man, Anton Guffen seemed appropriate.

Been playing with something different this weekend. I acquired a bunch of toy animals to bodge together some critters and heres my first attempt.

With a Fireforge armoured archer for scale. Fun and easy to do for some varied critters superglue and baking powder is your friend and there'll be more to come.

Bodging together monster from animal toys is a lot of fun, enjoy

Doran from Zombicide faces off against the Boar Oracle a flying pig one of the greatest of signs and most portentious of beings.

I love it

I definitely have been Syro as this Xenos abomination shows.

Related note I really enjoy painting the Stargrave troopers. I've relaxed with uniform just painting random camo schemes and it's been great fun. The simple high relief detail makes painting simple and enjoyable.

Your weird animal kitbashes look like something from the AD&D Monster Manual. What fun models!

That's exactly what it is too! These wouldn't be out of place at all as classic D&D monster miniatures.

So true!

Cheers thanks a lot! Exactly the look I was going for especially as the story gos this was how the first batch of D&D monsters were created. Continuing the theme we have the Frilled Beak Frog.

This was a design I wanted to do as alien looking plant eaters should be a large part of any ecosystem and it gives a very alien looking proile. I'm also enjoying the excuse to go looking up palaeontology videos on youtube...

Talking about palaeontology videos

Left overs from the Frilled beak frog and the abomination left me with the bits to create this. Which I really like. I bodged it together to quite deliberately resemble the Crystal Palace dinosaurs from the 1850's and I quite happily feel I accomplished that.

You know that moment when you've pushed yourself to the next level and are really genuinely proud of an accomplishment.
I managed that this weekend.




Designed for Stargrave in real life the Shenanigan is an amalgam of water pistols, parts from toys and kits, bottle caps, plastic gems, clothes pegs and of course Rawl Plugs. To give you an idea of size.

In universe the Shenanigan has started life out as a Federation Scout Ship until the collapse when it found itself being traded between groups of desperados as the smallest practical jumpship it has a tiny crew, cargo bay and only two machine guns but a very capable sensor suit and is perfectly capable of both atmospheric and stratospheric flight. Looking forward to painting her!

Man, that is a really cool ship, well done !

Awesome job on that scratch built space ship!

Aw yes just look at that build! Great kitbashing, mate!

Love the kitbashing - inspiring me to drag out my collection of random toy animals from the loft

Thanks for sharing

Cheers guys far less exciting stuff today just some toy spiders painted up. Unfortunately the rubbery plastic isn't the best for taking spray pint s i recommend trying to get harder plastic versions if you can

More toy spiders but the harder plastic and some craft gems led to some really nice Glass Spider constructs for Frostgrave.

Love a toy repaint. Nice job.

Cheers Guys

Actually got paint on one of my scratchbuilds. This beadbot owes a lot to TheBrave on here and also to the youtube channel Bill Making Stuff. Youtube terrain channels are excellent ways t get inspiration.

Reaper Golem happy with the sandstone scheme.

Not 11 planned for Frostgrave as well looks better in hand than in the picture ah well at least its that way round!

Princess from Conan not a brilliant picture model looks ok in person.

Saucy.

When I saw the original Beadbot build I wasn't really getting it, but painted I totally see the potential and this is IMO one of the coolest scratch builds I've seen you do:



The weathering is excellent. What did you do to get results like that?

Bill Making Stuff is fantastic. Great to see a beadbot in the wild. Kudos.

Painted it up as normal then applied a sponge in gunmetal, a rust wash and brown ink. Really simple technique I use for pretty much anything. Talking about Scratchbuilds which look daft unpainted inspired by Bill making stuff.


Great fun to do really easy and cheap. Currently I'm planning to use it as a benevolent oracle or a major demon of good as Frostgrave specifically mentioned Demons are just extraplanar creatures with no particular alignment.

Reaper Cave Bear. Nice simple paint job but looks the part

Classic Tiger of Dirz ideal for any game I need an alien dog critter. But I just felt like painting this classic model I've had for ages and posting it after having painted it for the same reason.
