McFarlane Toys Fortnite Ragnarok Figure Review

-
Image
I came across two more Fortnite toys I liked so I figured I'd do some more photography. I don't know anything about the character so here is what the wiki says: "Ragnarok is a Legendary Outfit in Fortnite: Battle Royale that can be unlocked by reaching Tier 100 in the Season 5 Battle Pass. He is also a character in Chapter 2: Season 5 that was added into update v15.00. Ragnarok first appeared in Season 5, having been pulled from his own viking reality, along with his Viking Village. He appeared once again in Chapter 2: Season 5, appearing at the Superstore next to Holly Hedges. (Formerly Hey Boo! Megastore), now turned into Viking Vessel." Here he is in his shiny new packaging. McFlarlane continues with the nice box art. Here is the contents of the package. I like the way the pick looks, but the shotgun is kinda lacking. The cape attaches by a slot in his back. For some reason his knobby elbows keep catching my eyes. And now for the action shots. Ov...

The Nightmare Before Krampus Day Pt4

-
Image
So after much procrastination and waiting for things to come in the mail I have finally finished the Witches And Woes crew. I used the Secret Weapon Miniatures Field of Screams Bases (which can be found here ) for all of the crew because I thought the jackolanterns fit quite well with the flaming pumpkin headed sorrows. So now without further ado, I present to you the crew. Sorrows A, B, and C. Next up we have the Poltergeist. The ever loveable Baby Kade. The sweet and sour youth, Candy. And lastly the bringer of misfortune herself, Pandora. This crew was a little challenging to paint at times, but overall I enjoyed painting them. My wife started doing the base coats on a few models and I took over everything else as well as the detail work. Lets just hope that New Model Syndrome doesnt stirke when they play their first match against the Rasputina crew.

The Nightmare Before Krampus Day Pt3

-
Image
Over the last few days I've been getting back into the swing of painting and made some more progress on the Nightmare Before Krampus Day project. On the left we have the newly repainted Poltergiest and on the right we have one of the Sorrows. Both are from the Witches and Woes alternate Pandora Crew.

Cryx Egregore Base WIP 4

-
Image
As I mentioned in the previous Egregore post I decided to take a risk and create a pool using regular two part epoxy. In hindsight I probaby should have added a skull to the base before epoxying or perhaps used a different color combination. Right now I feel somewhat iffy about the current appearance, but as an experiment I'm quite happy with how it came out. Beyond that though, I really need to learn how to make better bases. I feel like there was more I could have done besides paint a bit and glue over.

Menite Archon

One of our gaming buddies got my wife this guy for her birthday. It was her first attempt at painting flames and she's pretty happy with how it came out. She did everything from cliping & cleaning to the painting. All I did was drybrush the flames a bit and glue sand to the base.

Cryx Egregore Base WIP 3

-
Image
For the last several days I have been trying to create some sort of water effects to use on the base and have finally come across a possible sucess. Now you may be asking "Vincent why didin't you just use actual water effects?" and I can assure you there is a very good reason. That reason being is I was a derp and threw out my water effects a month or so back and haven't ordered any more yet. After testing a few things and bouncing ideas off of my wife I've settled on using some Gorilla glue two part epoxy. Currently the base is just some greenstuff and P3 Necrotite Green with ample thumbprints added in. I'm hoping after a few layers the green will cover up enough that the expoy will work out alright. Looks like we'll find out in a few days.

Mechanical Attendant

Image
I have a tutorial game of Malifaux in a few days and the crew one of my gaming buddies wanted to use wasn't even attached to their bases yet. So after a breif moment of panic I tossed on a few podcasts such as Trapped under plastic and got to work. All in all I think it looks fairly decent for a hour or so of work. It isn't amazing, but it looks pretty good for a Table top strandard tier of painting.

Cryx Egregore Base WIP 2

-
Image
I was able to get a little more greenstuffing done today. I have very little experience working with Greenstuff so I'm pretty happy with how things are coming along so far. In hindsight I wish I had thought about putting a third wire in the base before attaching the model to the tendrils. The Greenstuff is still fresh so it's all wobbly and keeps bending in random directions instead of staying strsight.

Cryx Egregore Base WIP

-
Image
Several years ago I painted and based the Egregore from the Warmachine Cryx Witch Coven while my wife painted the coven themselves. As it was one of the earlier painting attempts I had done, it looked far from spectacular and the base it was on just dissapointing. Recently we decided to play a game of Warmahordes again for a bit and I happened to look at the poor Egregore sitting in the case. And thus we have this: Right now I'm planning on wrapping greenstuff around the wires so that the basing will look closer to the official artwork.

Ice Ice Golem

These guys are my first tries at dry brushing and I'm really proud of how they came out. The big guy on top is the Ice Golem and the little guys are Ice Gamin. For a big ice statue, the Ice Golem has a well sculpted arse. Seriously, look at it.

Here comes the Juggernaut

-
Image
This guy was a request from our girlfriend that I finished a while back. He took a dive off of the gaming table shortly after he was primed and the glue wouldn't take so I had to learn how to pin a mini and fast. He proceeded to wreck my 'jacks during the rest of the game. I guess he was angry about his arm coming off.

Poxy the poxwalker

This little guy is my favorite Poxwalker. In the few games of 40K I played he took far more fire than should have been necessary to put down. He was the first walker I painted and he earned his paint job.

A Witchwood model my wife painted shortly after the Grymkin came out. This is the first time we tried adding vines to a model. I think they came out fairly nicely.

I finally got around to painting the Bonereapers from the Feast of Bones box from Age of Sigmar. They were done in about two weeks and I'm quite happy with how they came out.

My wife recently finished the Great Mawpot for the Ogor Mawtribes. It was gifted to her by our girlfiend and turned out to be quite a time consuming project.

The Wonderful Mr. Lynch

This is a guy I've had for a few years now and I use him as a benchmark for when I started trying to improve my painting. The main thing I take away from this model is that glossy spray varnish is not suitable for all models.
