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...

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.

3D Map Dungeon WIP (Radar Center)

Image
Today I was playing a Steam Game called They Are BIllions and I liked the way the map looked. I decided I wanted to run it as a dungeon and began to map out the area. As you can see, I am clearly not the best Cartographer. Grabbing a square of XPS foam (Insulation foam) and a old pen I began to slowly mark out a grid on the foam. Good lord that was tedious. After getting a cramp in my back I finally finished. Grabbing another pen I traced the outlines of the room and scrawled what room was what on the map. Our girlfriend wanted to help witht he project so I suggested she try the hotwire foam cutter. Four sheets of foam and several neck and back kinks later the dungeon has been cut out. I stepped away during cleanup for a few minutes and I discover that the Squigs (our cats) have invaded the dungeon. Say hello to Colette (left) and Pandora (right). Also known as Squiggums and Derpy. In case anyone was wondering, the squigs were named after Malifaux masters. Now that the base a...

Ice Ice Golem

Image
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

Image
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.

3D Print Gengar

Image
This little guy consists of a Gengar and a base that were both printed from a resin printer. I tried three times to get a good print of this sculpt and the first ended up missing the front half of it's body. Even this one is missing his toes, but we called it good enough. The base printed just fine on the first attempt though. Good lord 3D printing resin is a headache. My wife painted both pieces.
