#72 Sedition wars: BfA end in sight

Okay, the blogger app ate my original post so short version:
All the miniatures came out better than I thought. Only some bases, small details and Hurley left. Grendlr is my best paint job to date. Built a storage insert for the box based on Universal Heads design I saw on boardgame geek. Um... oh yeah pics of scythe witch, brimstone, cthonian and grendlr. If the app regurgitates my original post I'll update this one.

#71 The Strain continued

I had a bit of a break and now feel it's tine to get back into tge swing of things before I to the LA area for a week. I have just a few models left to finish off the Battle for Alabaster set. The Strain level 3, 4  & 5 exoforms. I used a dark purple to give the flesh areas a wash and will pick out details with a red a possibly give some areas a drybrush of the same color. On some of bigger miniatures I will pick out additonal details with blue to give them a glow effect, hopefully...
So the pics are: scythe witches and cthonian then brimstone and finally the grendlr (one of the figures that attracted me to the game in the first place)

#70 Sedition Wars progress: 82% done

Wow. I made considerable progress these past two weeks. I have finished all the level 1 & 2 Strain and all the Vanguard (except for Kara's face & hair). All that is left are the Scythe witches, Brimstones, Grendlr, Cthonian and Hurley. That will have me with one complete set of Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster miniatures painted. Then it's on to wave 2 which will hopefully take less time though with almost all the miniatures being characters it might take the same amount if time. I want to paint the homage characters similar to their movie/show/game counterparts. Anyways on to some pics! Sorry for the poor lighting.
(I forgot to add I might put some blood spatter on some of the bases.)

#69 Sedition Wars: the progress continues

After a little internal debate I decided to use a darker red a give all the level 1 & 2 Strain a little wash to bring out some details and make them less monochrome. I also thought it would be better to give them a less necrotic look to give a better feel for the figures being in the midst of transformation. I also gave the bigger beasties their flesh tone and metallic sections. The next step is finishing the bases on all fully painted figures: the low level Strain and Vanguard troopers. After that I move on to finishing the characters and big beasts.
The pics below show some of the added washes to the Strain, the bases and the flesh and metal on the big beasties.

#68 Sedition Wars: group shots

I just finished up putting the glowing bits on the lower Strain. Now all I need is to touch them up with some green to give a putrid flesh look. I also need touch up the bases for all the minis I have done so far and finish two Vanguard characters. I'm going to start painting the bigger minis later today and order some paints so I can finish all of them in one pass (hopefully). The two photos below show all that I have done so far. The Quasimodos laying down show some of the glowing blue bits I've added to the Strain. Each type of figure has a variety of small details painted this way. No real change to any Vanguard, I'm very pleased with how they turned out.
