I finished up a pair of large Faces to replace the cardboard markers that come with Kingdom Death Monster. I painted them in a similar way to the small faces that come on the decorative base inserts. Basically a Khaki base coat, a sandstone dry-brush, some blended washes with Secret Weapon Algae and Sewer Water amended with a spot of Glaze Medium (Vallejo), and a dry-brush of Graveyard Earth (Reaper) and a final dry-brush Splintered Bone (Reaper).
Is that a ray of hope!
Maybe it explains how some things grow in the gloomy world of Kingdom Death!
I've found that in 3D printing at my best resolution visible striations are a thing. I'm looking into ways to reduce them other than sanding. Mass sanding of PLA seem to result in it melting...
I actually like the striations on these faces but, in general, it would be better to get a handle on them! I think I can rotate them in the shredder so the layers stack from a different direction to reduce it... more tests!
The last batch of Core Set Miniatures from Mantic's Star Saga Kickstarter is getting close to finishing up... which is good because there are rumbles in the rumor mill about the next wave shipping soon!
Two batches in progress here. Twisted! The Dickensians Set 2 and some paupers, street performers, beggars, and merchants from the Bruegelburg: A Day at the Fair kickstarter (Lead Adventurers)
Both of these sets are traditionally sculpted and I'm having a lot of fun with the personalities. I'm finding myself more and more into NPC and Non-Combat type characters... probably because I'm leaning in on scenery and the role play elements of the hobby more than the wargames themselves.
The real end of the line for Star Saga wave 1! Doors! So far I've sprayed these with a khaki paint/primer combo and then taped them and resprayed with an Ivory... next step... colored stripes!
And last, but definitely not least, Two miniatures from the Raging Heroes TGG2 Kickstarter are in the build bucket. I just got word that the remainder of my TGG2 was shipped today so I'd better start clearing the deck!
