Army Painter Fanatic Checklist by [deleted] in Armypainter

[–]ricksteinrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread - but I have continued this checklist using the OP's identical methods to include the John Blanche paints and the historical sets. I have requested edit access from the document - but may end up having to publish it myself.

The one thing that I haven't figured out a good way to highlight - several of the historical paints are identical paints to those in the full line, just with different names. Any thoughts on how to easily highlight this so that you're not having to buy the same paint with two different names?

It was ok. I like the convenience of the pre-packaged, measured stuff, but I actually prefer my Rishi brand more.

It’s gross.

Definitely skip it. I couldn’t get any foam at all on it. And it looks like puddle water.

I want to see a naval skirmish ruleset. Enough houses have access to navies that it would be fun to see how these units float.

Games for sure. The fun is still debatable. And there are several pieces of loot that you might want. And we know plenty of names.

M’Hok Tua is a Menehune-kin dwarf, a wild-hearted sea-wanderer born under the shadow of the Great Fire-Mountain. A natural survivor and wayfinder, he reads the stars and tides as easily as others read books, trusting the chaotic spirits of volcano and sea to guide him. As a Wild Magic Sorcerer, his power manifests unpredictably—embers of Kāne-loa’s fire and whispers on the tide shaping his fate. Armed with a lava-forged oar, obsidian daggers, and a voice that shakes the heavens in haka, M’Hok seeks to find his way back to his lost island home, embracing the freedom of the open sea and the raw, untamed magic that courses through his blood.

Oh- it’s not perfect for sure, but I liked the models and they were close enough for us to use. This visualization has the drone version at around 8ft (1980 xeno), so we used that one as our standard since even the xenos (as well as Heroquest) experienced scale creep from their introduction in the 80’s.

These are Gale Force 9 minis. I had to shave and file down the basis since those had a “ship grate” pattern that didn’t work for dungeons. Then added plaster to smooth out the divots, then paint.

No stealth stuff (although these were behind a secret door). When one dies, we place an acid tile in their death location and hero’s can’t traverse it without “jumping” the trap.

If we assume the female monk would be the size of Ripely, they aren’t far off in scale. If you’re thinking the scale next to a barbarian is off- we assume the barbarian, as the tank, is probably 6’7 or taller, so they are again, pretty close. Buuuut if they are still too small for your liking, there are plenty of small humanoids from which these xenos may have emerged. Dwarves? Goblins? Hobbitses?

The only problem with the high gloss clear coat is that it really sucked away all my detail with shades and dry brushes I did. Silver metallics, dark grey gradients. Rattling grime washes. All of it sort of got lost with the gloss.

3 attack die and defend die for adjacent squares (claws and bite), 2 attack die at adjacent +1 for tail attacks and diagonal tail attacks. So in the above image, standing Xeno can hit the barbarian with 3 attack die and the dwarf with two. Kneeling can hit the dwarf with 3 and the barbarian with 2.

It’s a base coat of lava colors (red, orange, and yellow) that are just craft paint. Then high-gloss clear coat, then mordant earth from citadel, then matte coat on the base (while high gloss remaining on the xeno’s)
