As well as working on my Deadzone models I've also been painting up some more of the models from the Bardsung dungeon crawler I backed on Kickstarter. The box comes with a good number of unique models as well as the rank and file so to keep things interesting I picked out a few of the unique models to paint up.
I picked out a hobgoblin riding a giant spider, an ettin, a giant rat and some sort of ooze. The rat and the ooze where pretty straight forwards to paint but the hobgoblin and it's spider took more effort.
As most of the wargames we play involve painting up lots of models with similar paint schemes it's nice to get into a few models who are one offs as you don't need to worry about producing anything coherant.
The second set I've painted up are from an expansion call The Lost Levels. The models consist of mechanical beings, possibly like the Warforged from D&D. You get a good range of models from the aptly named Colossus to dangerous looking Predator, who probably isn't much of a tank.
I opted to work pretty much entirely with dry brushed metallic paint for these models which allowed me to work through them pretty quickly. The models have loads of little details which the dry brushing picks out so even a quick job looks good.
As well as the boss/leader models you get some rank and file with some hefty looking sword and shield types, and some semi-levitating blaster models.
The specialists come in two flavours with some extra hefty tank models.
And some deadly assassin types with twin blades.
At some point I need to break the seals on all the card packs and have a look at the actual stats for all the models, but that's one for the future at the moment.
Have you done the heroes yet?
