Want to get a nice warm glow on those RJ Enhancements for Wild West Exodus? Or maybe you have another model waiting in the wings who could benefit from this quick guide?

Watch as Lewis adds some much needed 'glow' to his miniature, and maybe pick up a tip or 4 while you're at it.

Enjoy!

I’m struggling with some plasma glow right now so that was very helpful!

Aww man seeing the ice maiden makes me sad.

it seems they had basically most everything for the kick starter done and could of shipped it to most of the backers. its a real kick in the grot seeing it :(

really cool tut on the glow effects

will be using it it for sure.

This is not Kickstarter stock as we did not receive any stock from the Kickstarter. This is a reworked model of the Ice Maiden and the first time it is being released.

Right. seems to be the case

i recall seeing those big robos on the deck that are absent now.

you guys picked up all the old stock too right? got any plans for the ones you are not redoing? (or better question will you be modifying everything like the ice maiden?)

If I remember right there basically wasn't any KS stock (at least cast up), although no doubt warcradle will be able to tell you more

IIRC some people did get their product meaning production was already on their way for at least some of the stuff. chances are any of the big backers custom guys are dead in the water.

also it seems there are some google images of ice maiden so there may have been a hand full of them done.

IS THAT A FREAKING SPERM WHALE WITH A LASER ON ITS HEAD?


WANT!*

Overall really liking things and it seems that you're actually pushing yet more detail onto already detailed models; will really love to see these coming out.

The Whale also gives me a lot of hope for Uncharted Seas as well as if you're able to craft up more organic (ergo less tanky/blocky) models then that gives me great thoughts to seeing warships, sea monsters, dragons and such!

*I recall Spartan teasing us for years that there was going to be a Dr Moreau/Darwin faction with basically cybermonsters and such or similar.

I want sperm whales with freakin’ laser beams on their heads!

I like the separation of naval and ground combat. Way more interested in ground, but getting into Dystopian Wars always seemed like it wanted to push me towards the water. No!

Plus having actual infantry this time around will be fun.

The only way to better whales with frickin' laser beams on their heads would be to have FLYING whales with frickin' laser beams on their heads!

I'm afraid it would be a kind of boring model to have them just sitting at the waterline with their faces popping out.

I will not discount the awesomeness of flying spermwhales with laserbeams on their heads

BUT

Sperm Whales are famous for breaching, now there's a vision. Not just a head popping up with the whale breaching and twisting in the air in a massive display of power. Sure its got a laser on its head; but it can also leap up and crush smaller ships. Also if it were charging forward a large amount of its fore and upper body could be above the waterline.

I really hope that they don't go for the idea of having submersed units "flying" on flight stands - to my eye that would look totally wrong (esp in a game with regular flying units).

So very tempted to share one of the sculpts

It's not temptation is Christmas Spirit

It is awesome that you'll be at AdeptiCon!!

Since you asked the thing I most want to see, personally, is news on where you'll be taking your games, maybe even a meet and greet / feedback session.

Edit: Whoops, I was thinking Dropfleet but this applies to Firestorm Armada, too!

I thought Warcradle only had Firestorm not Dropzone?

Also don't suppose there's any job there for a guy with a camera and a few lights?

Whoops, edited . Thanks Overread!

Painting wood effects can be a tricky beast to handle... Watch as Lewis paints up wooden bases and get some ideas for your own work while you're at it.

Those bases won't paint themselves, after all...

Enjoy!

Thanks for the continued painting tips/guides!
One thought - any chance of getting the paint types used to include suggestions for most top brands (GW, P3 and the one starting with V that I can never remember the name of). Granted the actual method would be shown only in one brand, but having a list of alternative similar paints from other brands would be neat for beginners and those who use only one brand.


Also is the Warcralde/spartan website down?

Army painter paints would be great in my mind, not the best brand, but they provided me a cross reference sheet between their brands and then the Dakkadakka page with cross reference colors filled in the other manufacturers.

Hi Overread, both the Warcradle and Spartan websites should be working. ~Tarnya

My thanks
It seems the spartan site did go down/lag terribly over the weekend (based on what I've read on the warcradle forums); of course this hit me since I used to get to the warcradle forums (former spartan forums) via the spartan site - so when one went down I also lost access to the other (and made an assumption that the two were linked).

*rushes away to update his bookmarks*

Your miniatures looking a little bit too neat and tidy? They are supposed to have been through the wars, after all, yet they look a little too pristine…

Watch Lewis’ Worn Fabric tutorial to add some much-needed wear to those clothes!

Enjoy!

Miniature used: Marie Laveau from Wild West Exodus

The Ranger Showboat is on its way! Wild Bill brings some firm favourites to be available again as miniatures with updated sculpts. Plus the Posse introduces the infamous Calamity Jane to Wild West Exodus. Look for this Posse set later in the year.


Led by Marshal Helena Miller, the Infernal Investigations work tirelessly across the American Frontier, protecting the citizens from the bizarre and beastly that lurk in the dark corners of Wild West Exodus! Look for the Infernal Investigations Posse later this year!
