Endure the Stars by Grimlord Games is an epic Sci Fi adventure board game for 1-6 players set on the exploratory spaceship the N.W.E Hikari.
A very successful Kickstarter that delivered with only 2 months delay.

Game component and mini quality is really good, the game play is very solid and great fun.
In a way Zombicide Deluxe Campaign in a SF setting! I love it!

First painted mini from the KS - the Sip Sentry robot. I loved the design right from the start, so consequently it is the 1st mini I paint.
Removing the inevitable mold lines is a bit of a pain, but more or less the same amount as Black Plague.

And before everyone asks, here is the always helpful comparison pic:

First, great paint job. I'd love to see the rest of them painted. I do think the robot sentries are the weak sisters of the game's miniatures, though. They suffered badly in the translation from concept art to finished product. Most of the other minis came out much better!

Thanks, for me the Robots are really nice, the GEPs are not so much my thing...

BTW - had some extra free hours this afternoon and finished the Medic!

I like how the sculptor does cloth, and I'm really digging your choice of colors on the medic.

LOL, I only followed the artwork...

Medic, KS exclusive Geneticist and Sip Sentry Robot

I really like these minis!

The Primus - a GEP Boss. The Rhino like hide was begging to be dry brushed.

A real fast and efficient paint job done in under 1 h.
Dry brushing dark grey, light grey and some Sand colour. Then the orange and some inks.

I also updated my website, Endure the Stars now has a dedicated sub-section!

Another mini done.


Basic GEP Critter - the Swarmer. Since there are 30 in the game box I looked for a fast way to paint them.
So a beige primer, after that a mixture of flesh and brown shade and the skin parts are done. While wet I mixed in some black on the head and primed the metal parts in matt black. Then leadbelcher metal and a black wash, some metal highlights and the blueish lights, again done under 1h. For extra protection I went for a glossy varnish, only the rim of the base received some matt black to be in lien with the rest of the minis.
OK? The result is not really fitting the artwork, but for me it works...

Good mornin',
...and one more. IMO the best mini so far, I absolutelylove the sculpt! What a COOL Cyborg!


And to round things up, a nice group shot of the survivors so far painted:


and with their enemies:

Great stuff! Great use of the Heavy Gear decals on the bases too. Yay hazard stripes!

Long time no posting, but I am finally back on track!


More EPS - a Jaeger and a Solomon are added.

I really like the Solomon design - do not get me wrong wrong I like all EtS minis, but the Solomon is particularly menacing and alien looking to me.
Painting was done as described for the Swarmer.
